>>> JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO WHEN LYDIA KO MADE HISTORY WINNING THE GOLD MEDAL IN THE PARIS OLYMPIC GAMES. IT WAS HER THIRD OVERALL MEDAL IN THREE OLYMPICS. WITH THE WIN, LYDIA EARNED HER SPOT IN THE LPGA TOUR'S HALL OF FAME. PERHAPS THE TOUGHEST HALL IN ALL OF SPORTS. HERE'S HOW SHE GOT THERE. TWO MAJOR CHAMPIONSHIPS, 18 PGA TOUR VICTORIES, PLAYER OF THE YEAR AWARDS, VART TROPHY AWARDS AND THE OLYMPIC GAMES. EARLIER TODAY, SHE MET WITH THE MEDIA TO DISCUSS THE SEASON'S FINAL MAJOR. >> WHAT DO YOU REMEMBER SPECIFICALLY ABOUT 2013? YOU PROBABLY PLAYED A FEW HOLES ON SATURDAY WITH THE WIND, IS THERE ANYTHING YOU THINK BACK WITH THAT WEEK, WITH THE WEATHER? >> I'M PRETTY SURE I PLAYED IN CALM CONDITIONS ON THAT THURSDAY AND I WAS, LIKE, OH, THIS IS FINE. THIS GOLF COURSE ISN'T THAT DIFFICULT. AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS BECAUSE I SAID THAT, THE WEATHER GODS SAID, YOU'RE GOING TO GET A BEATING THE NEXT DAY. SO, I PLAYED IN, YOU KNOW, SUPER WINDY CONDITIONS ON FRIDAY AND I WAS VERY HUMBLED TO SAY THE LEAST. I KNOW IT FELT LIKE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT GOLF COURSE, YOU KNOW, I PLAYED HERE, EVEN ON MONDAY, AND THE WHOLE BACK NINE APART FROM 10 AND 11, I DIDN'T HIT A CLUB UNDER 3 HYBRID COMING IN, AND ALSO APART FROM THE 18th. IT CAN PLAY REALLY LONG AND I THINK THE WIND DIRECTION, WHETHER IT IS JUST ACROSS, CROSSING INTO MAKES SUCH A BIG DIFFERENCE AROUND THIS GOLF COURSE, AND ESPECIALLY WITH MY BALL SHAPE, SO, YEAH, IT IS -- I DON'T REMEMBER, LIKE, ONE SPECIFIC THING, BUT I KNEW THAT IT WAS WHEN I WAS QUICKLY HUMBLED THERE AND I WAS, LIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT, DON'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT A GOLF COURSE AND DON'T EVER SAY ANYTHING IS TOO EASY, BECAUSE YOU JUST NEVER KNOW, YOU KNOW, WE COULD GET SUN AND THEN FIVE MINUTES LATER, COULD BE RAINING SIDEWAYS. >> STICKING WITH A GOLD MEDAL VIBE, FLASHBACK 2020 TOKYO OLYMPICS TOOK PLACE THE FOLLOWING SUMMER, NELLY KORDA WON GOLD THAT YEAR. STARTED THE FINAL ROUND WITH A THREE-SHOT LEAD AND WOULD HANG ON, SLIM MARGIN, BUT DIDN'T MATTER. SHE WAS THE ONE WITH THE GOLD MEDAL AROUND HER NECK ON THE PODIUM, WON BY ONE. THE WEATHER, THE TOPIC OF CONVERSATION TODAY FOR NELLY AT ST. ANDREWS. >> IN THE SENSE YOU CAN PREPARE ALL YOU WANT, YOU CAN PLAY MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY, BUT THEN, YOU KNOW, IT IS ALL ABOUT THE WEATHER AND TAKING IT A SHOT AT A TIME, BEING VERY PRESENT. AND IT IS ALSO FUN BECAUSE IT IS A DIFFERENT CREATIVE SIDE TO GOLF WHERE YOU HAVE TO WORK THE BALL SOMETIMES MORE THAN YOU ARE USED TO AND HITTING DIFFERENT SHOTS, BUMPS AND RUNS. IT IS JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE CREATIVE AND FOR ME THAT'S FUN TO DO, I HAVE A LOT OF FUN WITH IT. I PLAYED THE BACK NINE ON MONDAY AND I PLAYED THE FRONT YESTERDAY FOR THE FIRST TIME. AND FOR ME, MORE OF IT WAS COMING DOWN 18. AND THE VIEWS THERE, SPECTACULAR. I DON'T KNOW, WHEN WAS IT, TWO YEARS AGO THEY HOSTED THE MEN ARE THREE YEARS AGO? AND GETTING TO SEE THAT ON TV AND KNOWING THAT WE WERE GOING TO BE HERE THIS YEAR I WAS EXCITED FOR IT. AND JUST THE RICH HISTORY OUT HERE AND GETTING TO PLAY IT OURSELVES AND IS GOING TO BE SUCH AN AMAZING WEEK. >> IS THERE A MOMENT YOU FIND YOURSELF ENJOYING THESE CONDITIONS? IS THERE A TURNING POINT IN YOUR LPGA CAREER WHERE YOU START TO EMBRACE THE CHALLENGE OF THIS? >> YEAH, I THINK I WOULD SAY THAT EVERY SINGLE TIME I GET TO PLAY OVER HERE AND PLAY THIS STYLE OF GOLF, I REALLY ENJOY IT. NOT THAT I WOULD WANT TO PLAY IT EVERY WEEK. BUT I DO REALLY LIKE THE CREATIVE SIDE TO PLAYING THIS TYPE OF GOLF AND BEING VERY, VERY PRESENT, NOT GETTING AHEAD OF YOURSELF. >> HOW ABOUT THE YEAR NELLY KORDA HAD. 12 STARTS, SIX WINS, SHE AND SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER HAVE BEEN TRACKING EACH OTHER ON THE TWO RESPECTIVE TOURS AND NELLY DID SCHEFFLER ONE BETTER, SCOTTIE
