ECCO GOLF is celebrating after all three women’s Olympic Golf medalists competed in Hybrid ECCO GOLF shoes.
ECCO GOLF ambassador Lydia Ko, wearing ECCO GOLF tray he earned the gold medal with a birdie at 72, adding a shining jewel to the crown of a truly fine career.
Her Olympic gold adds to the silver and bronze medals won at Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020 respectively, and means she is the latest female player to enter the coveted LPGA Hall of Fame.
“I kept telling myself, ‘I’m proud of myself’. I don’t really mean that. I feel like it’s weird to say that, but I’ve always said I’m proud no matter what. Holding gold right now, it’s crazy. I can’t believe it,” commented Ko after his emotional victory.
In second place was ECCO GOLF ambassador Esther Henseleit ECCO S-Three, who earned the silver medal with a brilliant final round 66 that included a birdie finish.
“I struggled in the beginning going back, but I was able to make some good pars, and I finished birdie-birdie, which is amazing,” said Henseleit.
Finally, Xiyu Lin of China, who finished in the bronze medal position competed in Paris wearing ECCO BIOM H4 shoes – meaning all three players on the podium wore Hybrid ECCO GOLF shoes during the tournament.
Timo Vollrath, Head of Global Marketing at ECCO GOLF, commented: “Seeing all the Olympic medalists on stage wearing ECCO GOLF shoes is a proud moment for everyone involved. It highlights our commitment to providing golfers with the best footwear possible, allowing them to play at their highest level on the major stages.
