HAENAM, South Korea — Decade-long LPGA Tour veteran Sei Young Kim<\/a> carded a final-round 67 to hold off any challengers as she claimed a four-stroke victory at the BMW Ladies Championship on Sunday.<\/p>\n It was Kim’s 13th career title since joining the tour in 2015 and ended a five-year drought since her last tournament victory at the Women’s PGA Championship in 2020.<\/p>\n Kim, 32, finished with a four-round total of 24-under-264 at Pine Beach Golf Links on the Korean peninsula, with the South Korean only dropping a shot at the par-3 third before finding six birdies through the remainder of the round to comfortably hold her closest rival, Nasa Hataoka<\/a>, at bay.<\/p>\n Hataoka of Japan also had a final-round 67 to finish at 20-under 268, with Celine Boutier<\/a> (67) and Kim A-lim<\/a> (66) a further two shots back in a share for third place.<\/p>\n Defending champion Hannah Green<\/a> shot 66 and finished at 17-under 271 in a share for fifth with Yealimi Noh<\/a> (70) of the United States. Fellow American Lindy Duncan<\/a> (65) was a shot further back in a three-way tie for seventh with South Korean pair Choi Hye-jin<\/a> (63) and An Na-rin<\/a> (63), who shared the lowest round of the day.<\/p>\n Jeeno Thitikul<\/a> last week became the first multiple winner on the LPGA Tour this season with a five-hole playoff victory in Shanghai over Minami Katsu<\/a>. Thitikul did not play this week but will be part of Thailand’s team in the International Crown next week.<\/p>\n After the International Crown, two more LPGA events are scheduled on the five-event Asian swing — at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and in Japan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Oct 19, 2025, 05:56 AM ET HAENAM, South Korea — Decade-long LPGA Tour veteran Sei Young Kim carded…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":236709,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[427,99],"class_list":["post-236708","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236708","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=236708"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236708\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/236709"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=236708"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=236708"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=236708"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
