Lydia Ko became the youngest major champion in LPGA Tour history at the Evian Championship on Sunday. The South Korean-born New Zealander closed with an eight-under 63 for a six-stroke victory over Lexi Thompson at the final major of the season. Ko is 18 years, four months and 20 days old. She eclipsed the previous record set by American Morgan Pressel, who was 18 years, 10 months and nine days old when she won the 2007 Kraft Nabisco Championship. Ko, who was runner-up in Evian two years ago, enjoyed a remarkable day on the shores of Lake Geneva, staying bogey-free and hitting eight birdies in her final round for the best score of the tournament this year. She finished with a 16-under total of 268.Lydia Ko has become the youngest major champion in LPGA Tour historyThe 18-year-old eclipsed American Morgan Pressel's previous recordThe South Korean-born New Zealander cruised to a a six-stroke victory over Lexi Thompson at the Evian Championship in eastern France
