GOLF:American duo snare maiden LPGA titles in team event

Americans Gina Kim and Yana Wilson have teamed to win the Dow Championship for their first LPGA Tour titles, closing with an eight-under 62 in best-ball play for a two-stroke victory from Hyo Joo Kim and Hye-Jin Choi.

Gina Kim and Wilson finished at 17-under 263 at Midland Country Club.

"I haven't been in a leading position for a long time," the 19-year-old Wilson said. "Even as a team, I feel like both of us haven't been in this leading position.

"We walked down 18 just now and we were like, 'Does this feel weird to you? Like this is so weird.' So it's a little nervy out there.

I feel like we handled it really well."

Gina Kim holed out from the fairway for eagle on the par-4 fifth.
