South Korea's Park In-Bee won the first women's Olympic golf title in 116 years on Saturday, using her effortless swing to take a five-stroke victory over New Zealand's Lydia Ko.

Park shot a five-under-par 66 to finish the tournament at 16-under. Ko, the world number one, ended at 11 under par to take silver while China's Feng Shanshan finished a further stroke back for bronze.

The normally impassive Park, a former world number one, rolled in a final par putt on the 18th hole and appeared to choke up for a moment as she raised her arms in victory.
