In the reel, Ko read the letter, which stated:"Dear 15-year-old Lydia, so much is about to happen. Wonderful things and hard things. You will learn and grow as a person from all of them. You will lose track of all the firsts and the "youngest evers" you set. Never take a single day, a single moment, for granted. The truest axiom of golf is this: No matter how you are playing, it will change. Just as quickly as the game can slip away, with hard work and self-belief, it can come back. The decisions you make are yours. Own them."In the caption of his reel, Jason Day revealed how much he has admired Lydia Ko's successful career.
