In-Kyung Kim couldn't help but cry after holing a 30-foot birdie putt on the final hole to wrap up her first LPGA Tour victory.
"I was overwhelmed," Kim said. "It was a happy cry."
The 20-year-old South Korean player birdied the final two holes in windy conditions Sunday for a 1-over 73 and a three-stroke victory over Angela Stanford in the Longs Drugs Challenge.
Kim, the 2005 U.S. Girls' Junior winner, had a 10-under 278 total on the Blackhawk Country Club course. The second-year player earned $180,000.
"I'm on process, getting better," Kim said. "This is just the start in my career. I'm really honored to win this tournament on this golf course."
