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.
