Leona Maguire and Stephanie Meadow prize money from Women’s PGA Championship

Stephanie Meadow took home almost €390,000 in prize money after finishing in a five-way tie for third at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship as China’s Ruoning Yin won her first major title thanks to a flawless final round at Baltusrol.

The Antrim native birdied the 17th to keep her hopes alive and needed to eagle the par-five 18th to force a play-off, but mishit her second shot and was fortunate to see it skip through a water hazard.

Meadow recovered her composure to hit a good approach but was unable to hole the birdie putt and had to settle for a closing 70 and share of third place with Carlota Ciganda, Anna Nordqvist, Megan Khang and Xiyu Lin.

Yin, who received €1,376,220 for winning the tournament, carded four birdies in a closing 67, the last coming from 10 feet on the 72nd hole to edge the 20-year-old a shot ahead of Japan’s Yuka Saso, who had set the clubhouse target on seven under par following a superb 66.

Playing partner Leona Maguire, who took a one-shot lead into the final round, struggled to a disappointing 74 to fall back into a tie for 11th on four under. The Cavan golfer pocketed over €154,000 for her efforts.

Former amateur star Rose Zhang, who won the Mizuho Americas Open on her professional debut earlier this month, was a shot off the lead after six birdies in her first 14 holes, but bogeyed the 16th and finished in a tie for eighth on five under.
