LPGA: Korea's In Gee Chun Captures 2nd Career Major at the Evian Championship

With a decisive four stroke win to claim her second LPGA major tour victory perhaps South Korea's In Gee Chun is about to become a household name with ladies' golf. Chun finished at -21 under par at the Evian Championship  - the LPGA's 5th major tournament - four stroke better than So Yeon Ryu also from South Korea. Chun had more to smile about winning the Evian Championship Sunday than any player who ever teed it up in a major. She went lower over 72 holes in a major than any man or woman in history. With a dramatic par save at the last, Chun shot 69, posting a four-day total of 21 under, the lowest total in relation to par in major championship golf. In Gee set a new major championship record - male or female - for 72 hole score in relation to par with her four-day total of 21-under par. Also broke the LPGA major championship 72 hole scoring record previously set by Betsy King (267, 1992 LPGA Championship) with her four-day total of 263. In Gee broke the 54 hole scoring record at a major previously set by Annika Sorenstam (199, 2004 LPGA Championship) with her three-day total of 194. She joins fellow South Korean Se Ri Pak (1998 McDonald’s LPGA Championship and U.S. Women’s Open) as the only players in LPGA history to record their first two LPGA wins at major championships. Gee now ranks #4 in the ladies Rolex Golf Rankings and appears set to sustain her rise on the world stage. What is next for Gee? Send your comments to the Pro Golf Tour.
