Allie McDonald (USA), who has been chasing for three shots, created a birdie chance of about 2 meters. The gap could have been reduced to 1 ~ 2 hits. However, Kim Se-young’s friendly putt, who struck first, tipped to the left and fell to the hole, while McDonald’s short putt drifted away from Hall.

In the third round the day before, when McDonald’s chased the first shot with a hole in one, the 14th hole became a lucky hole for Kim Se-young, who birdied for 4 consecutive holes 14-17.
The LPGA Tour website said: “Kim Se-young has been overlooked when it comes to the best players in the world, but this is no longer the case.” Kim Se-young expressed her feelings: “It’s always fun to win,” and said, “By winning the Women’s PGA Championship, you can comfortably play in the majors. This will come in handy at the US Women’s Open (opening December 10). ” He expressed his desire to win two majors in a row.
