Lydia Ko will play alongside the former teen golfing queen who’s mantle she’s taken over.

15-year-old Ko has been paired with Michelle Wie for the opening two rounds of the Kraft Nabisco Championship, the first major of the women’s tour.

Her opening round begins at 4:30pm Friday.

Wie, now 23, was billed as women’s golf’s next big thing and even tried her hand in men’s tournaments on the PGA Tour.
