Hyo Joo Kim lived up to her billing as pre-tournament favourite by completing a successful title defence on home soil at the Ladies European Tour’s Aramco Korea Championship.
Kim started the day with a one-shot advantage at New Korea Country Club and recovered from an early bogey to fire three birdies in a three-under 69, seeing the world No 8 hold off Chaira Tamburlini and claim a two-shot victory.
The Korean ended the 54-hole event on seven under to claim her second win of the year, having also won on the LPGA Tour at the Ford Championship in March, with the latest title her 25th career title.
Hyo Joo Kim claimed a two-shot victory on home soil
“As a winner of last year’s championship, people all around me kept telling me ‘you have to win this time as well’ – I had that in my mind the whole time,” Kim said. “I think it’s a great win today.
“Golf is my job and it can be stressful. But thanks to my fans, I can really put down this stress and enjoy the game. I lived in the moment and really enjoyed it today.”
Kim got off to a shaky start when she bogeyed the par-three fourth and found herself behind when Tamburlini – playing two groups ahead – recovered from an opening-hole bogey to post five birdies on her front nine.
The lead changed hands again when Tamburlini bogeyed the 12th, as Kim followed a birdie at the sixth with another at the 11th, before both players picked up a shot at the par-five 13th to keep Kim one ahead.
Kim produced a clutch birdie at the par-four 17th to take a two-shot buffer to the final hole, where a closing par was enough to claim a third Ladies European Tour victory.
Tamburlini posted a four-under 68 to finish second ahead of Korean amateur Seojin Park, who charged up the leaderboard with a final-round 65, while France’s Perrine Delacour finished tied-fourth with Lee-Anne Pace, Dorthea Forbrigd and Emma Spitz.
German trio Aline Krauter, Chiara Noja and Polly Mack shared eighth place with Australia’s Kelsey Bennett, while Northern Ireland’s Annabel Wilson ended in tied-12th on level par.

Kouč Barcelony mírnil euforii po strhujícím El Clásicu: Stačí nám jedna výhra k double, ale je to fotbal
„Nemyslím si, že už jsme šampioni, a věřím, že hráči přemýšlejí stejně. Bylo by hezké vyhrát double za vítězství v La Lize a Španělském poháru. A ano, stačí nám k tomu jedna výhra. Je to ale fotbal,“ prohlásil Flick, který v premiérové sezoně vedle Copy del Rey ovládl s Barcelonou i španělský Superpohár. V obou finálových zápasech jeho tým předčil právě Real. Katalánci porazili největšího soupeře ve všech čtyřech soutěžních utkáních v sezoně s celkovým skóre 16:7.„Barce“ nyní k návratu na trůn po dvou letech stačí ve čtvrtek zvítězit v městském derby na hřišti Espaňolu. Slavit by mohla dokonce už o den dříve, pokud „Bílý balet“ doma neporazí Mallorcu. „Rozhodně jsme v dobré pozici, ale nikdy nevíte, co se stane. Máme před sebou tři utkání a všichni naši rivalové nás chtějí porazit, takže musíme zůstat soustředění,“ uvedl šedesátiletý Němec.Šlágr 35. kola na Olympijském stadionu před více než 50 tisíci diváky se pro domácí nevyvíjel dobře.

Rockets, Ime Udoka put playoff disappointment aside to focus on critical offseason
HOUSTON — It’s been six years since Mike D’Antoni patrolled the sideline of Toyota Center, but the pain from a playoff loss to the Golden State Warriors still stings like a fresh wound.“We thought we had ’em,” D’Antoni said in a phone conversation last month. “We could have won the series. … You need some breaks, some calls and gotta make big shots. That’s the thing about championships: You have to have a lot of factors that work in your favor to get over the hump. It just wasn’t in the cards for us.”AdvertisementD’Antoni was talking about his 2019 Rockets, but he easily could have been talking about current head coach Ime Udoka’s squad, dispatched in Game 7 last week by the same franchise.As the Rockets head into a pivotal summer, eliminated yet again by the Warriors and facing internal […]

Do Ravens need Jadeveon Clowney? It depends on how they view their young edge rushers
The Baltimore Ravens have done well signing productive veterans late in the offseason, so it was hardly surprising that the sudden availability of one of their past success stories prompted talk that they’re ready to make another move.After drafting two edge rushers, the Carolina Panthers released veteran outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney last week. The Ravens were immediately cited as a potential suitor, and it’s easy to see why.AdvertisementClowney had one of the best seasons of his career with the Ravens in 2023, registering 9 1/2 sacks while playing a disruptive brand of football and flourishing in a winning environment. Baltimore is always looking to augment its pass rush, and it’s been able to in the recent past by signing veterans such as Clowney, Kyle Van Noy, Justin Houston and Pernell McPhee on modest deals.Clowney’s availability, however, comes at a time […]
Draymond Green said what many Black people feel. But then he missed the point
The stereotype of the “angry Black man” or “angry Black woman” is very real. On a daily basis, it follows us into boardrooms, classrooms and corporate offices. So when Draymond Green defended himself after his latest technical foul by saying he’s tired of the “agenda to try to keep making me look like an angry Black man,” it really bothered me. AdvertisementNot because the stereotype doesn’t exist, but because he missed the point.Green’s brief exchange with reporters after the Warriors’ loss, in which he received his fifth technical foul of the playoffs, included no acknowledgment of personal responsibility. Over the course of his career, Green has accumulated more than 200 technical fouls and has been suspended six times, once for putting Rudy Gobert in a headlock, another for hitting LeBron James in the groin during the 2016 NBA Finals and again […]
