- South Korean started final-round five shots behind lead
- 25-year-old wins $1m after extraordinary debut
A Lim Kim made her first US Women’s Open appearance a memorable one on Monday, closing with three straight birdies to tie the record for the largest comeback in the tournament’s history and win the biggest event in women’s golf.
Starting the final, frigid round at Champions Golf Club five shots behind, the 25-year-old South Korean wore a heavy down jacket between shots and delivered a four-under 67 for a one-shot victory over Amy Olson and Jin Young Ko.
A Lim Kim.
Remember the name.
