Ryu Hae-ran captured the KPMG Women's PGA Championship on June 28 at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnesota. The 25-year-old South Korean finished at 13-under-par 275 after a final-round 70, two strokes ahead of compatriot Yoon Ina. Ryu held a one-shot lead after 54 holes.
She started the tournament 10 shots behind Yoon, who opened with a 63, and became the first LPGA player to rally from that deficit after round one to win a major. The final-round start was delayed more than three hours by weather, and Ryu, Yoon and Brooke Henderson played in the last group. Ryu took home $1.95 million.
She is the first South Korean to win an LPGA major since Amy Yang captured this event in 2024. Ryu, the 2023 LPGA Rookie of the Year, now has four career wins, one in each of her first four seasons on tour. Yoon finished alone in second after a weekend of 75-70.
Dewi Weber of the Netherlands ended at 10-under-par. Ryu joined Lee Mi-hyang and Kim Hyo-joo as the three South Korean players with LPGA wins in 2026, Yonhap reported.
