- I played really well and felt a bit like I had nothing to lose.

She is world number one so I knew it would be tough but I am proud that I managed to win when needed, says Nordqvist according to Swedish Golf.

The 59-ranked Swede decided the match in the second nine when she played home holes 11, 13 and 14. Already on hole 15 she had secured the victory in the match.

Nordqvist, who started the competition with a loss against the German Caroline Masson and then won against the American Natalie Gulbis, thanks to the victory against Ko Jin-young went on to the round of 16 where she meets the 23-ranked Thai Ariya Jutanugarn on Saturday.
