Lydia Ko is into the final of the prestigious US Women's Amateur golf championship in Cleveland.

The 15-year-old Kiwi has advanced with a three and one semi-final victory over her Thai opponent, Ariya Jutanugarn. Jutanugam is currently number two in the world.

Ko will face America's Jaye Marie Green in tomorrow's 36-hole final at the Country Club.

The Kiwi told USGA that getting to the final felt really good.

"My putts were rolling today, which really helps the confidence. This is amazing to beat such a great player," she said.

Ko is the world's leading amateur and can become the second youngest champion if she wins the title
