    Media Release For Immediate Release | August 25, 2019 JIN YOUNG KO SETS TOURNAMENT SCORING RECORD TO CAPTURE 2019 CP WOMEN’S OPEN - Brooke Henderson earns Sandra Post Medal as low Canadian - - News and notes from Magna Golf Club for Sunday, August 25th - AURORA, Ont. – Jin Young Ko played flawless golf again Sunday at the CP Women’s Open to capture her fourth LPGA Tour title of the 2019 season. Ko, who shot an 8-under-par 64 Sunday at Magna Golf Club, has now gone 106 holes without a bogey. She beat Nicole Broch Larsen, whose runner-up was her best career LPGA Tour finish, by five shots. Lizette Salas and Brooke Henderson tied for third at 19-under. Jin Young Ko’s winning score of 262 (-26) is a new CP Women’s Open tournament scoring record. She beat the prior record – held jointly by Ariya Juanugarn in 2016 and So Yeon Ryu in 2014 (265, -23) - by three shots. “It was (an) incredible crowd out here, and then lots of fans here and Koreans, too,” said Ko of the final round, where she was grouped with Broch Larsen and Henderson. Ko has won two majors already this year – the ANA Inspiration and the Evian Championship – along with the Bank of Hope Founders Cup. She leads the Rolex Rankings as the world’s No.1- ranked golfer, as well as the season-long Race to CME Globe. Ko started to pull away on the back nine, where she made six birdies. Ko also has a Canadian connection, as she uses PGA of Canada professional Gareth Raflewski has her short-game coach.
