Australia’s Korean Lee Min -ji (29) won the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship ($ 12 million in total), which ended at the Fields Ranch East Golf Course in Prisco, near Dallas, Texas, USA. In the final round, he scored two over pars, beating the fun Korean auston Kim with three strokes with four under par. The winning prize is $ 1.8 million.

Lee Min -ji, who won 11 wins, has won three major championships, following the Evian Championship in 2021 and the US Women’s Open in 2022. If you win the AIG Women’s Open or Shebren Championship, you will achieve your career grand slam.

Lee Min -ji’s putter was as hot as Dallas’s sun. In the strong winds the day before, he played without any view and reduced four strokes. Last year, he was ranked 137th in the LPGA Tour, and he turned to a long person this year and then rose to fifth place this week. He destroyed the lead Gino Titian (Thailand) in the third round with an eager putter, and he took the lead in the fourth stroke.

In the fourth round, the putter did not listen for a while. If it was the same the day before, the putt that was easily put in the 3rd to 6th hole was missed three times. The 7th hole 3m birdie putt was short. Auston Kim, who started from the back of nine strokes, followed two strokes, reducing four strokes. In the 12th hole, Lee Min -ji had a difficult tee shot in the rough, but the ball was floating on the rough. After the wave in this hole, he grabbed a continuous birdie in the 14th and 15th holes and decided to play.

Lee Min -ji said, “I had a lot of thoughts every time I put it. I used a long person to get freedom.” “Do you want to write a long putter earlier?”

New Zealand Korean Lydia Go, who came to celebrate the championship, said, “I was unbelievable to hear that Lee Min -ji had never made three putts in this competition. I did a lot.” Lee Min -ji said, “I saw Lydiao in the Hall of Fame. I really wanted to do it. Let’s see what will happen in the future.”

Lee Min -ji’s younger brother, Lee Min -woo, who played at the PGA Tour Travelers Championship, was tied for 63th out of 67. But for the winner, I sent a congratulatory video message, “I’m proud. I love you.”

Korean players were not satisfactory. Choi Hye -jin and Lee So -mi ranked 10th in the third over -par. Choi Hye -jin, who played in the championship, lost two strokes on that day, and Lee So -mi hit the Ibvenpa. Choi Hye -jin was in the top 10 at three major competitions this season. Shin Ji -eun finished 12th over par or Hwang Yu -min tied for 19th over par, and the room was tied for 23rd in the 7th overfar, and Jeon -in and Lee Mi -hyang were tied for 31st over -par.
