Danielle Kang captures her first major title  12:00, 03/07/2017

The 24-year-old was tied for the lead heading into the final round, a position she’d never been in before. And at first, it looked like that inexperience was going to derail her hopes of a win. She was one over through 10. But the early missteps didn’t seem to bother Kang. She was still smiling, and the positivity led to better play. She followed up the bogey on 10 with four straight birdies on holes 11 through 14.

Kang bogeyed the tricky par-3 17^th, and Henderson closed with two birdies to move into a tie for the lead, coming up just short on a 30-foot eagle putt on the par-5 18^th. But Kang responded with two solid shots to get the green in two, then two-putted for the victory.

“If I could wish anything, I would wish that my dad saw me win,” said Kang of the emotional moment. Kang's father passed away of cancer in 2013. The win was also emotional because of how difficult Kang’s season had been in 2016. She sat for six weeks due to injuries—bulging disks in her neck and a broken bone in her hand, followed by eye surgery at the end of the season. She’s moved past the injuries, coming out on the other side with a positive outlook.

Chella Choi finished the tour at the third place with ten under. Mi Hyang Lee, Amy Yang and Sei Young Kim tied for fourth at nine under, and Lexi Thompson and Inbee Park were another two strokes back.
