Ko's struggles continue with Founders MC

PHOENIX Lydia Ko loves the Bank of Hope Founders Cup and its celebration of the games pioneers, and that made missing the cut Friday sting a little more.With a 1-over-par 73 following Thursdays 74, Ko missed the cut by four shots.After tying for 10th at the HSBC Womens World Championship in her last start, Ko looked to be turning a corner in her quest to find her best form again, but she heads to next weeks Kia Classic with more work to do.I just have to stay patient, Ko said. I just have to keep my head high.It was just the fifth missed cut in Kos 120 career LPGA starts, but her fourth in her last 26 starts.Kos ball striking has been erratic this year, but her putting has been carrying her. She said her putting let her down Friday.It seemed like I couldnt hole a single putt, she said. When I missed greens, I just wasnt getting up and down. When I got a birdie opportunity, I wasnt able to hole it.Ko came to Phoenix ranked 112th in driving distance, 121st in driving accuracy and 83rd in greens in regulation. She was sixth in putting average.

Cristie Kerr saw the struggle playing two rounds with Ko.Her games not in good shape, Kerr said. She seemed a little lost.Ko, 20, made those sweeping changes last year, starting 2017 with a new coach (Gary Gilchrist), a new caddie (Peter Godfrey) and new equipment (PXG). She made more changes at this years start, with another new coach (Ted Oh) and new caddie (Jonnie Scott).Ko doesnt have to look further than Michelle Wie to see how a players game can totally turn around.It always takes time to get used to things, Ko said. By the end of last year, I was playing solid. Im hoping it wont take as much time this year.Ko had Oh fly to Asia to work with her in her two starts before the Founders Cup, with their work showing up in her play at the HSBC in Singapore. She said she would be talking to Oh again before heading to the Kia Classic next week and then the ANA Inspiration. She has won both of those events and will be looking to pull some good vibes from that.This is my favorite stretch of events, she said. And I love the Founders Cup, how it celebrates all the generations that have walked through womens golf. And I love the West Coast swing. Hopefully, Ill make more putts next week.Ko, whose run of 85 consecutive weeks at Rolex world No. 1 ended last summer, slipped to No. 12 this week.
