Kiwi golf star Lydia Ko proposed to her boyfriend by writing “will you marry me” on golf balls.
Speaking on the Henni & Hally: Women with Game podcast, Ko said she proposed first, then her partner, Chung Jun also proposed.
“It’s very complicated. I proposed to him as well and then he proposed to me. I was like why is it that the guy has got to propose, so I did it very golf-like. I wrote on golf balls ‘will you marry me?”
Ko said in Korea, it’s common to set a wedding date before the actual proposal.
“Sometimes the guy will propose a week before the wedding, some people do it early and some people do a surprise proposal a few days before, so it’s very different.”
She said Jun surprised her by popping the question during their engagement photo shoot.
“It was really cool, I didn’t expect it, he was going on about numbers, of how many days we’ve known each other and things like that.
“For a second I was thinking why are you throwing numbers at me and then I realised what was going on.”
The couple are due to tie the knot in South Korea next winter during the golf off-season.
Ko won her 18th career title over the weekend after completing a 7-under 65 final round at the BMW Ladies Championship on Sunday night.
She finished the tournament with a 21-under 267, four strokes ahead of Andrea Lee, who had a final round of 3-under 69.
“This is probably the best I’ve played, the most consistently I’ve played,” Ko said.
