Sei Young Kim holed a clutch birdie putt on the final hole at Tiburon Golf Club in Naples, Florida, to win the CME Group Tour Championship. Danielle Kang made things interesting down the stretch. Her charge ultimately forced Kim to birdie the 18th for the win. It was a landmark week for women’s golf, largely because of the big box of cash that awaited the winner. With the CME title, her third LPGA win this season, Kim pocketed a record winner’s paycheck of $1.5 million. The money she took home from Naples on Sunday was nearly three times what she claimed for her first two victories, combined. The CME title was Kim’s 10th career LPGA victory and helped give her financial stability in this career for the foreseeable future.
