Yealimi Noh, an American golfer of Asian origin, celebrated at the Founders Cup, winning her first LPGA Tour title. In fierce competition, the 23-year-old golfer finished 21 shots under par. Fans of women's golf were a little surprised at how great she played,

Ko Jin-young jumped four spots to land in seventh place on the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings after finishing runner-up at the Founders Cup presented by the U.S. Virgin Islands on the LPGA Tour on Sunday.

Yealimi Noh turned a one-shot deficit into a three-shot lead over Jin Young Ko in the span of two holes on the back nine and cruised from there to her first LPGA victory in the Founders Cup.

Yealimi Noh will always remember her first LPGA victory, but this will shine not just because she won, but who she beat to do it. The 23-year-old Californian shot a three-under 68 to beat 15-time LPGA winner Jin Young Ko by four shots to win the Founders Cup Sunday at Bradenton Country Club in Florida.

Ko Jin-young finished as runner-up in the Founders Cup on Sunday, posting a 17-under-par 267, marking another strong finish in the LPGA tournament where she became the first golfer to win the title three times in 2023.

Three-time champion Jin Young Ko birdied six of her last nine holes Friday for an 8-under 63 and a two-stroke lead over four players in the LPGA Tour’s Founders Cup.

Jin Young Ko typically begins each year with a winter training session in a warm place in Asia with a host of other students, including many juniors. But not this year. This time, the former No. 1 decided to bring her parents over to the U.S., along with the family dog, to gear up for 2025 in Florida.

Jin Young Ko of South Korea caught fire late and broke the course record with an 8-under-par 63 to take the second-round lead at the Founders Cup on Friday at Bradenton (Fla.) Country Club.

The 23-year-old American golfer who hadn’t won a tournament since turning pro in 2019 pulled away from Jin Young Ko for the win in her 118th start.
