Grace Kim has finished in 14th place in her first appearance in the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, further confirming what appears to be a great future on the LPGA Tour.
Kim’s weekend rounds of 69 and 69 moved her through the field after being 21st at the halfway stage and she will add US$147,000 to her rookie season earnings in the US$10 million event.
Kim finished five shots behind the winner, Ruoning Yin of China, who became just the second player from her country to win a major title following Shan Shan Feng’s victory in this same event 11 years ago.
Minjee Lee (20th) and Gabi Ruffels (24th) were the next best of the Australians.
