Kim Mi-hyun Wins LPGA SemGroup Championship

South Korean golfer Kim Mi-hyun has grabbed her first LPGA Tour victory of the year at the LPGA SemGroup Championship golf tournament.

In her first attempt at the final hole, Kim made a bogey to tie with American Juli Inkster in the one-point-four million-dollar match held on Sunday in the U.S. state of Oklahoma.

Kim missed a five-footer on the 18th, forcing her into the playoff with Inkster, who birdied the hole minutes earlier. On her second try at hole 18 in the playoff, Kim sank a 4-foot par putt after Inkster shot a bogey.

Sunday’s victory was Kim’s eighth on the tour.

Meanwhile, South Korean golfers Kim Young and Song Aree finished in fifth and ninth.

Jang Jeong, Park Se-ri and Park Hee-jung tied at 13th place.
