Ryu Hae-ran has captured her maiden LPGA major title.
The 25-year-old Korean won the KPMG Women's PGA Championship by two strokes over her countrywoman Yoon Ina at 13-under 275, after shooting a final round of two-under 70 at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnesota, on Sunday (local time). Ryu took home $1.95 million in prize money.
Ryu had a one-shot lead through 54 holes at 11-under. This was the third time in her career that Ryu had at least a share of the lead entering the final round of a major and the first time she successfully closed out the deal.
On the two such previous occasions, at the 2024 and 2025 Chevron Championship, Ryu finished fifth and tied for sixth, respectively.
