Opinion: Lydia Ko names the red elephant in the room

Earlier this week, reporter Jerry Foltz asked world No. 3 golfer Lydia Ko why a physical therapist had rushed onto the course to treat her during the Palos Verdes Championship. Smiling, Ko said: "It's that time of the month," explaining that she has problems with her back when she has her period. Foltz, clearly stumped, mumbled, "Uh, thanks." He later followed up on Twitter, replying to a post linked to an article entitled, "'Honesty it is': Lydia Ko leaves interviewer speechless with response" with a succinct: "Yes it did."
