South Korean golfer Ryu Hae-ran, 25, has won her first LPGA major title at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship (one of the five premier events on the women's professional golf tour) held at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnesota, finishing at 13-under 275 to beat compatriot Yoon Ina by two strokes and taking home $1.95 million in prize money. The victory is made all the more remarkable by the fact that Ryu trailed the leader by 10 shots after a rocky opening round — a deficit no LPGA player had ever overcome to win a major — before storging back with a bogey-free 64 in round two and taking command with a 68 on Saturday. The win, which comes after Ryu returned from a month-long absence due to an abdominal injury, makes her the first South Korean to claim an LPGA major since Amy Yang won the same event two years ago, and gives her four career victories across four seasons on tour.
