KAWAGOE, Japan (Reuters) - New Zealand's Lydia Ko became the first woman to claim multiple Olympic golf medals with her bronze at the Tokyo Games on Saturday and won hearts in Japan for her unwavering sportsmanship.

Five years after being the runner-up at the Rio Olympics, the South Korea-born Ko was edged for a second silver medal by Japan's Mone Inami in a playoff, with American Nelly Korda winning gold by a stroke. [L8N2PE04B]
