8:49 am on 19 December 2013

The New Zealand teen golfing sensation Lydia Ko will be one of the star attractions at February's Australian Open in Melbourne.

The 16-year-old  has rocketed to number four in the world and turned professional in October.

Ko finished third at the 2013 Australian Open and is looking forward to travelling to the sandbelt to tackle Victoria Golf Club.

The championship is sanctioned by the LPGA Tour, the Ladies European Tour and the ALPG Tour.
