Kim Hyo-Joo (김효주) used a scary back nine to claim her second runner-up finish of the season.
The South Korean carded seven birdies and no bogeys for a 7-under 65 in the final round of the Ladies Professional Golf (LPGA) Tour’s Freddie Mac Scottish Women’s Open ($2 million purse) at Dundonald Links (par-72) in Ayrshire, Scotland, on Sunday (July 7). With a final total of 13-under-par 275, Kim finished in a tie for second place, two strokes behind Celine Boutier (FRA – 15-under 273). It was Kim’s second runner-up finish of the season and seventh top-10 finish, following her victory at the ShopRite Classic in June.
With the final major of the season, the AIG Women’s Open, set to begin on Tuesday at Walton Heath Golf Club in Surrey, England, Kim is well on her way to earning her first victory of the season in a major.
Kim, who began her fourth round in a seven-shot tie for ninth place, made her first birdie of the day at the par-5 third before dropping another shot at the par-5 fifth. She added a birdie at the eighth (par-4) to reach 3-under for the round. The second round was just as hot. He added a birdie at the 11th (par-3), followed by back-to-back birdies at the 13th (par-4) and 14th (par-5) to move into second place. He parred the next three holes, but birdied the 18th (par-5) to finish in a tie for second.
Kim, who was playing with a sore foot, said, “I just put it down and played. “I set a goal to shoot 4-under par, but I’m happy that I did better than that,” she said. “I will continue the good feeling in the next tournament (the AIG Women’s Open),” she said, “but most importantly, I will try to improve my physical condition and finish with a good score in good shape.” 먹튀검증
