SEI YOUNG KIM WINS WOMEN'S PGA CHAMPIONSHIP

South Korea's Sei Young Kim claimed her first major with a commanding five-stroke victory at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship.


Sei Young Kim surged away from the field with birdies at four of her final six holes at Aronimink to card a round-of-the-week seven-under 63 to finish at -14 and clinch victory in the penultimate major of 2020.

It was a day of records for Kim as she set a championship scoring record over the four rounds with her total of 266 and also equalled the lowest score for a final round in the event.

Seven-time major winner Imbee Park (KOR), who started the day three shots behind Kim, shot a five-under 65 to ensure second place on -9.

Spain's Carlota Ciganda shot a 65 to finish in a share of third at -7 with Japan's Nasa Hataoka, who posted an eagle at the 1st in a bogey-free 64.

England's Charley Hull finished tied for seventh at -1.
