Overview
- Gina Kim and 19-year-old rookie Yana Wilson closed with an 8-under 62 in four-ball on Sunday to finish 17-under 263 and win the Dow Championship by two strokes.
- Their final round included an eagle by Gina Kim and six birdies between the two players that overturned a one-shot deficit after three rounds.
- Each player earned $402,691 and full LPGA benefits after earning tour cards through strong finishes on the Epson Tour, a result described by them as a career-changing payday.
- The South Korean team of Hye-Jin Choi and Hyo Joo Kim finished second at 15-under 265 after leading through 54 holes, and other notable results included Juli Inkster becoming the oldest player to make an LPGA cut and Nelly Korda finishing well back.
- The Dow Championship is the LPGA’s only annual team event and uses alternate formats—foursomes in rounds one and three and four-ball in rounds two and four—which creates big leaderboard swings and highlights the Epson Tour as a direct pathway to tour success.
