The golfer described how this mentality causes every golfer, from World No. 1 Jeeno Thitkul to World No. 100, to improve their game year after year. Ko elaborated,

"Golf is a pretty crazy game, and I don't know if we're crazy or the sport itself is crazy. There is no perfect score. I think -- I don't know how many shots I won by -in the end last year, but you come off that and go, oh, maybe if I did this better I could have shot an even better score. It's almost like you can take yourself down a rabbit hole as well because there is no perfect."

Lydia Ko later added,

"Because of that, doesn't matter if you're the number one-ranked player like Jeeno or the 100th on the CME list, you're just striving to be better because you have to. If you stay in the same spot, you're not really going to be in the same spot when time goes by. So, yeah, it's just I think I know that there is parts of my game that needs to be better."

Lydia Ko also claimed during her comments that right now she is only enjoying her time playing golf on the course and taking part in the tournaments.
