“I have been playing LOTTE Championship since the inaugural championship, and then because of this being my sponsor I always wanted to win and do well. I guess so far, the records are not as I expected, as I would expect, and it was a little sad personally for me. However, I prepared a lot for this year’s championship so it’s all the more meaningful and special for me to win this championship this year.”

Kim started the day with a three-shot lead but bogeyed the par-3 17th to drop her lead to just one. She made a great pitch from off the green at the 18th leaving herself a 2-foot birdie putt to take the victory.

“I’m proud of that shot,” said Kim. “Maybe I made a lot of people like sit on the edge of their chairs, so I felt great about it.”

Shibuno carded two birdies in the final round for a bogey-free 70 but it was not enough to capture her first win since the 2019 AIG Women’s Open. It was enough for her best LPGA Tour finish since her major victory at Woburn.

“I was having very fun playing with (Kim),” said Shibuno. “My putting was a little, you know, couldn’t go in, so that was the difference with her.”

Kim’s countrywoman Hye-Jin Choi shot a final-round 69 to take solo third at 7-under, her best LPGA Tour finish since a tie for second at the 2020 ISPS Handa Vic Open as a non-Member.

South African Ashleigh Buhai finished fourth at 6-under followed by South Korea’s Somi Lee at 5-under.

American Brianna Do, who earned a spot in the tournament via the local qualifier on Sunday, played in the final group with Kim and Shibuno but could not recapture the magic that had been with her all week. With a 5-over 77 on Saturday she fell into a tie for 12th.

Allisen Corpuz, the only Hawaii resident in the field, finished in a tie for 18th at 1-under overall.
