    LPGA legend Judy Rankin can't see Lydia Ko ever returning to the heights she soared to earlier in her career

    LPGA legend Judy Rankin can't see Lydia Ko ever returning to the heights she soared to earlier in her career


    The kiwi golfer has been winless on the LPGA for nearly three years, but showed some promising signs in 2020.

    Asked by Golfweek if Ko would ever return to number one in the world, Rankin, who won 26 times during her career, says she doesn't think so.

    Rankin added that it's not that she doesn't think Ko can't be good again, it's that she doesn't think she can be a dominant player.
