Kim is the latest addition to a growing list of first-time major winners in recent years, a sign of growing parity. She joins Sophia Popov (Women’s British Open) and Mirim Lee (ANA Inspiration) as this year’s major champions. Park had three birdies on the front nine as she tried to match Mickey Wright with a record fourth win at the Women’s P.G.A. With Paul Fusco on the bag, Kim matched a tournament record with a 29 on the front nine on Friday and shot a 32 for the front nine on Sunday. I really tried to stay composed during the tournament, during the round, and I’m happy that I got it done.”
