Nelly Korda did a race there, but a Lim Kim responded late, making key storms at numbers 14 and 15 to push player No. 1 in the world and win the 2025 LPGA season, the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions.
Kim led by three on Linn Grant after 54 holes at the Lake Nona Golf & Country Club in Orlando, with Korda starting the final round tied with title champion Lydia Ko Four Shots back.
Korda was 3 years old in less than nine Sundays and reached 17 below to forge a brief equality, but Kim went up by two with two to play.
On the last hole, Korda, playing in the group in front of Kim, emptied a 30 feet so that Birdie reaches 18 sous, a back, and tried to apply pressure on Kim, who had to play his second rough right . But she landed safely on the green, about 20 feet distance, then emptied a long putt so that Birdie closes a last round of 5-mine of 67 and won two shots for her third LPGA victory.
Korda was solo second after her Sunday 65, her best round of the week by two shots. Grant was third after a 69. Minjee Lee pulled a last 62 round to zoom in the ranking and finished equally in fourth row with Jin Youg Ko.
