Minjee Lee captured her third major title at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship in Frisco, Texas, surviving tough conditions. Only 12 of 78 players broke par in the final round, with fierce winds and extreme heat making the greens particularly challenging.
Nelly Korda and Brooke Henderson endured long delays, taking over three hours for nine holes. Korda acknowledged the frustrating pace, noting that frequent waits between shots disrupted momentum. Despite the delays, she emphasized the importance of patience and adaptability in such unpredictable conditions.
Throughout the weekend, Korda battled not only the tough course but also the relentless Texas sun. Like many golfers, she finished the tournament with pronounced tan lines, reminiscent of Stewart Cink’s famously tanned bald head.
On the leaderboard, Korda tied for 19th at six-over-par, ten strokes behind Lee. Though not her best finish, her resilience in difficult conditions earned admiration from fans and commentators alike.
