Haeran Ryu claimed her first major title at the Women's PGA Championship, finishing two strokes ahead of Ina Yoon with a total score of 13-under 275. Ryu's victory at Hazeltine National Golf Club marks her as the sixth South Korean to win this championship in the last 12 years.
The tournament faced delays due to a thunderstorm, which softened the greens and complicated play conditions. Brooke Henderson and Dewi Weber tied for third at 10 under, while Nelly Korda struggled to finish tied for eighth after a disappointing round.
Ryu's win highlights the growing dominance of South Korean golfers in women's golf. Fans should watch for her potential rise in the world rankings and how this victory may influence her performance in upcoming tournaments, especially with the next major on the horizon.
