The 75th US Open Women’s Golf Championship concluded on Monday with the stunning win of South Korean A-Lim Kim in the championship after an extraordinary final round that lead her to her first major championship title. The 25 years old competed in her first appearance in the US Open, where she achieved her third professional title.
Kim’s victory came with final score of three under par, one stroke ahead of world number one, Ko Jin Young and American Amy Olson, who came second with two strokes under par, while Japanese Shibuno came fourth, with one stroke under par.
The competition that was held in Houston, Texas was characterized by a cold weather and an extremely wet ground which made it difficult for the players to take a successful shot. The competition was concluded on Monday instead of Sunday, due to the rainy weather on Sunday that prevented the completion of the last round.
This was the last major championship of golf this year and the players will be heading to compete in the final tournament of the LPGA this week.
