RIO DE JANEIRO -- At age 19, Lydia Ko is already No. 1 in the world, with 14 LPGA Tour titles and two major championships.Now she is setting her sights on Olympic gold.I think every tournament is very special, Ko said Monday during a news conference. But the Olympics was probably the biggest goal of mine this year.Firstly, to represent New Zealand and obviously to compete in it. If I end up holding a gold medal at the end of Saturday, and standing on the podium, I think it will be extra special. I dont know if I would ever take that medal off.Obviously it would bruise me a little bit if I was swinging with it, but I think every tournament is special in its own way. I would never want to take away the two majors I won, but I think thats going to be the same for the Olympics.The womens Olympic Golf Tournament begins Wednesday at the same venue where Justin Rose won the gold medal over Henrik Stenson to highlight a stirring final day at the mens competition.Ko was there, getting in some practice on the driving range, and even six holes while the mens competition was wrapping up. She couldnt see the conclusion, but Ko managed to make her way to the medal ceremony and took a photo with Rose, Stenson and bronze medal winner Matt Kuchar.Hopefully his vibes came off to me, Ko said of Rose. But its great. Last week, I think we all got to see some phenomenal golf, and I think that they have already changed a little bit in our game. So hopefully we can be a little bit more of a part in that this coming week. But its been great. And just to be in that fans perspective, being outside the ropes and seeing them play has been great.I think that we all are going to have a good time out there, and I think its great that us golfers can be amongst those amazing other athletes that are medalists. Thats the great thing about the Olympics. Sometimes in tournaments, we can get carried away about who came first in that event. But this week, it celebrates every single athlete. It especially celebrates all the medalists and shows how special a third place is.Ko will tee off in the last group Wednesday at 10:09 a.m. ET with Great Britains Charley Hull and Swedens Anna Nordqvist.Jaire Alexander Super Bowl Jersey .
