In-Kyung Kim held on for her first LPGA Tour victory with a three-stroke triumph at the Longs Drugs Challenge on Sunday.
Playing in gusty conditions, Kim carded a one-over-par 73 to finish on 10-under 278, three strokes clear of Angela Stanford at Blackhawk Country Club.
Stanford closed with a 75 to finish on seven-under 281, while Yani Tseng (72) finished third on six under with Lorena Ochoa (72) another shot back.
Kim had three bogeys and 13 pars on her first 16 holes before she clinched the victory with two straight birdies to finish the round.
"Before I started, I just wanted to play, and I didn't want to change any plans, just hit the fairways and greens and give myself chances," Kim said.
"I had to get up-and-down from many holes, which I did. I think I did a good job with that."
On the 333-yard par-four 17th, Kim drove into a bunker 70 yards from the green and hit her second to eight feet for birdie.
On the 18th she fired a nine-iron from 144 yards to 25 feet and she drained that for a birdie to cap the triumph.
She added: "With three holes left I had a two shot lead. I only needed one birdie from two holes, so I just wanted to have one birdie and I made two."
