Hyo Joo Kim won for the fifth time on the LPGA Saturday in Hawaii, capturing the Lotte Championship by two shots over Hinako Shibuno.
Kim’s final-round 71 got her to 11 under for the week at at Hoakalei Country Club, which was hosting the event for the first time. She punctuated her win by chipping it close on the 18th hole and then making a short birdie putt.
“I’m proud of that shot,” said Kim. “Maybe I made a lot of people like sit on the edge of their chairs, so I felt great about it.”
