Overview
- Kim, who closed Sunday at Whirlwind Golf Club in Arizona, finished 28-under 260 to beat Nelly Korda by two shots.
- She set the LPGA’s 54-hole scoring record at 25-under 191 on Saturday after opening and third-round 61s.
- A double bogey at the eighth trimmed her lead to one before birdies at 10 and 12 rebuilt a four-shot gap as Korda’s two eagles in a 67 left her at 26 under.
- The victory is Kim’s ninth on the LPGA, her first successful title defense, and her first season with multiple wins, making her the tour’s first multiwinner of 2026.
- Korda owns a win and two runner-up finishes in three starts this year, while Japan’s Minami Katsu placed third at 23 under and Lydia Ko finished fourth at 20 under ahead of the Chevron Championship.
