- Lee Jeong-eun became the ninth South Korean to win the U.S. Women’s Open on Sunday, holding her nerve while her rivals faltered in South Carolina to claim the first $1 million winner’s prize in women’s golf.
Her six-under 278 total was two shots better than compatriot and 2011 champion Ryu So-yeon and Americans Angel Yin and Lexi Thompson . “I didn’t expect to win the tournament this fast,” she said via an interpreter, apologising first for not speaking English and promising to do so next time she won.It marks the 10th time a South Korean has won the event in just over 20 years. Pak Se-ri started the run in 1998 and inspired a whole generation to follow in her footsteps. Olympic champion Park In-bee has won the event twice, in 2008 and 2013.
Lee’s main danger down the stretch was joint overnight leader Boutier, who lipped out on a four-foot birdie at the 16th that would have tied it up.
