Sei Young Kim claimed her first major title at the 2020 KPMG Women's PGA Championship at Newtown Square.

The South Korean, who had 10 LPGA tournament victories without a major, shot a seven under final-round 63 to take the title by five strokes, finishing on 14 under par.

Kim took a two-shot lead over Brooke Henderson and Anna Nordqvist into the last round and extended her advantage with seven birdies in a bogey-free round as she beat compatriot Inbee Park, who finished on nine under after a final-round five under 65.

Two bogeys in her final three holes saw Ireland's Leona Maguire finish on 12 over par after a 74. It was good enough for a tie for 65th place.
