Aronimink Golf Club, Newtown Square, Pennsylvania
$4,300,000
Round 1, Round 2, Round 3




Sei Young Kim has won her first major title in style, beating Inbee Park by five strokes with a 7-under 63 at Aronimink Golf Club.


"I won't lie, I did feel the pressure starting last night," said Kim. "I actually arrived about 30 minutes later than I normally do at the golf course. I really tried to stay composed during the tournament, during the round, and I'm happy that I got it done."

She was never really challenged in the final round and finished at 14-under 266 setting the championship scoring record while her 63 ties the tournament record.



Inbee Park, a three-time former champion, called her "really untouchable".

"It was just so hard to believe that she never won a major before because it felt like she won a few," said Park.


Nasa Hataoka and Carlota Ciganda finished third at 7-under while Anna Nordqvist and Brooke Henderson finished fifth and sixth

Kim joins a growing list of first-time major winners over the last few years with nine of the last ten major champions having never won before including Sophia Popov at the Women's British Open and Mirim Lee at the ANA Inspiration ealier this year.





Park tried hard to catch Kim in an effort to match Mickey Wright with a record fourth win at the Women's PGA Championship and produced three birdies on the front nine.

"I thought 65 will definitely do it. I was thinking maybe like 5 to 6 under is a good number to kind of post and just see what happens. But obviously Sei Young was just much better than anyone else out there today."
