With one streak over, it was time to start a new one. And that happened Sunday in Korea when Sei Young Kim won the BMW Ladies Championship, her first victory in five years and 13th in her LPGA career.
When World No. 1 Jeeno Thitikul won last week in China she was the first repeat winner on the LPGA this season, the longest streak without someone winning twice in the history of the tour. Fitting that it was Thitikul who doubled up. Kim’s victory makes her the 27th different player to win on tour this year in 26 events. She earned $345,000 from the overall $2.3 million purse and shot 24-under-par total, beating Nasa Hataoka by four shots. Celine Boutier and A Lim Kim tied for third place, six shots back.
Up next: the International Crown in Korea, Maybank Championship and Toto Japan Classic to wrap up the Asia swing before heading to Florida for the final two events of the season.
Here’s the rundown of what each player earned this week.
