The Korean duo of Choi Hye-jin and Kim Hyo-joo has finished in second place at an LPGA team event, leaving the former in search of her maiden title on the tour.
Choi and Kim ended up two strokes behind the American tandem of Gina Kim and Yana Wilson at 15-under 265 at the Dow Championship at the par-70 Midland Country Club in Midland, Michigan, on Sunday (local time).
The South Koreans posted a bogey-free round of five-under 65, but it wasn't good enough against Kim and Wilson, who carded a 62 in the final round with six birdies and an eagle.
The first and the third rounds had the alternate shot, or foursomes, format, in which teammates took turns hitting the same ball. The second and the final rounds were played in the fourball format, where players each hit their own ball and the better score of the two became the team's score on each hole.
