After completing her round and posting a one-under 70 to finish tied for third, the 25-year-old Korean-born New Zealand star was asked by Golf Channel reporter Jerry Foltz about the trainer, his treatment and if there was any long-term concern.

“I hope not,” Lydia Ko said.

“It’s that time of the month.

“I know the ladies watching are probably like: ‘Yeah, I got you.’ So, when that happens, my back gets really tight, and I’m all twisted. It’s not the first time that Chris (Wicker) has seen me twisted, but it felt a lot better after he came. So, yeah, there you go.”

Lydia Ko is the youngest player ever to be ranked No 1

The 17-time LPGA Tour winner’s answer took Foltz by surprise.

He stuttered as he stumbled for an appropriate response before managing to say: “Thanks”.

Ko was able to laugh off any awkwardness, saying with a smile: “I know you’re at a loss for words, Jerry. Honesty it is.”
