Somi Lee and Jin Hee Im triumphed at the Dow Championship, winning the playoff against Lexi Thompson and Megan Khang. Khang missed a critical 5-foot birdie putt that could have extended the playoff. Despite a strong showing, this loss kept Thompson from breaking her six-year title drought. Lee and Im celebrated their first victory in America, showcasing their success from the Korea LPGA. The duo's resilience in a competitive format was highlighted, as they displayed remarkable skills during the final holes.
Thompson's partner, Megan Khang, had a chance to extend the playoff, but she missed a 5-foot birdie putt that was on the low side of the hole from the start.
Im has won six times on the KLPGA, while Lee has five KLPGA titles.
"I can't believe it," Lee said after making her winning putt.
"Bummer to miss the last one in the playoff to force another hole, but very happy how we played," Khang said.
