Congratulations, then, to Chun In-gee, the 2022 Women’s PGA champion! Commiserations meanwhile to Lexi Thompson, who has yet another painful major-championship near-miss to process. If she could depend on her putter, she’d have a hatful of these things. Thanks for reading this blog. Nighty night!

That victory means Chun In-gee is now a three-time major champion! She adds the 2022 PGA to the 2015 US Open and the 2016 Evian. She waves to the appreciative crowd and takes possession of the silverware, wearing a heartwarming smile ... before dissolving into happy tears. “It just means a lot because I didn’t have any wins for three-and-a-half years, so I really appreciate it. My sponsors always believed in me. My family and my coach, my caddy, and my fans in Korea, they never gave up on me, no matter how I did. So thanks very much. I really enjoyed the course, so thanks to the greenkeepers!”
