Haeran Ryu is cherishing a "dream come true" after keeping her chasers at bay to notch a landmark comeback victory at the mega-money Women's PGA Championship in Minnesota.
Australian Karis Davidson's gallant challenge ended with a career-best tie for 12th as Ryu converted a one-stroke third-round lead into a breakthrough two-shot triumph at Hazeltine National Golf Club.
The South Korean fired a final-round two-under-par 70 to prevail at 13 under to land her maiden major championship and the record $US1.95 million ($A2.83 million) winner's cheque - the biggest pay day in women's golf history.
