Lydia Ko looks a little different. Actually, really different.
The 17-year-old New Zealander has ditched her trademark glasses for contact lenses. She made the change in the off-season and has done so, according to Golfweek, to present a more adult look.
There definitely wasn't a problem in how she saw the ball. In her last start, she won the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship and inaugural, season-long Race to the CME Globe for a record $1.5 million payday.
