In second place was ECCO GOLF ambassador Esther Henseleit, wearing ECCO S-Three, who secured the silver medal with a scintillating final round 66 that included a birdie-birdie finish.
“I had a bit of a struggle at the start into the back nine, but I managed to make some great pars, and then to finish birdie-birdie, is incredible,” Said Henseleit.
Finally, China’s Xiyu Lin, who finished in bronze medal position competed in Paris wearing ECCO BIOM H4 shoes – meaning that all three players on the podium wore Hybrid ECCO GOLF shoes on course during the tournament.
Timo Vollrath, Head of Global Marketing at ECCO GOLF, commented: “Seeing all three Olympic medallists on the podium wearing ECCO GOLF shoes is a proud moment for everyone involved with the brand. It highlights our commitment to providing golfers with the best possible footwear, allowing them to perform at their highest level on the biggest stages.
“Lydia Ko’s gold medal win and her induction into the LPGA Hall of Fame are moments we are incredibly honoured to be a part of – we’re so proud of her.”
Michael Waack, Vice President of ECCO GOLF, added: “The Olympics was momentous for golf, and we’re delighted that the three medallists competed wearing our shoes. The emotional reaction to their successes truly shows that golf is more than a game for so many around the world.”
