This year's International Crown attracted enormous attention, and it seems that Lydia Ko and Charley Hull are the most interesting figures of this tournament so far. In their first match, they played against the Japanese team, Miyu Yamashita and Rio Takeda, tying the match and winning half a point for their sides.
In an interview with the media, they revealed what kind of relationship they have. Hull seems to have a lot of confidence in Lydia, who is aware that she has top quality and can really make a difference in tournaments like this one.
Yeah, it was pretty chilled out there. It was good. It was nice.
I kind of knew Lydia was going to make the putt on the last because she had an up-and-down challenge on the last hole yesterday, an impossible up-and-down, and you got up-and-down and won 200 bucks from your caddie, so that was an easy putt compared to yesterday."-Hull said.

Lydia, who managed to get the money in an interesting way is motivated to achieve success in the tournament. Ko and Hull have known each other for a very long time.
That kind of relationship makes it easier for them to play in this tournament, where there seems to be great chemistry between the two.
"$200. I hit a flier out of the rough, and I had like an impossible chip shot from behind the green yesterday, and I asked Paul, my caddie, what will you give me if I make up-and-down, and he said $100, and then he said, no, Ill give you 200. Then I made up-and-down, so it was a great way to end our practice session.
Ive known Charley for a really long time, and obviously weve never played in this kind of format together, but I think just knowing the person obviously makes it a little bit easier out there.- Ko said.

In the sequel, Ko and Hull nostalgically recalled the old days, back in 2013, when they played together as freshmen on tour.
In the end, they pointed out that a lot has changed in the years that have passed, but that they are happy to have reached this stage of their career and to have achieved such great success.
