Hyo Joo Kim Scores Big in Paradise: What Was in Her Bag?
By Todd Brode
What was in her bag when Hyo Joo Kim notched her 3rd LPGA victory at the Pure Silk-Bahamas LPGA Classic?
Hyo Joo Kim, last year’s Pure Silk-Bahamas runner-up, fired an impressive seven-under par 66 in the final round on Sunday to capture her third victory on the LPGA Tour.
The twenty year old South Korean playing in her second full season on Tour blitzed the field on Sunday to take home the crystal glass vase trophy. She hit 14 of 14 fairways and made a mere 25 putts en-route to her first victory of the new season.
Kim had a super run of four birdies in five holes on the front nine and finished up with three in a row on the back nine to hold off all challenges on the Ocean Club course, Paradise Island.

Kim finished two shots better than her nearest competitor Stacy Lewis, who finished sharing the runner-up spot on the board with Sei Young Kim and Anna Nordqvist. So this wraps up the LPGA Tour’s annual visit to The Bahamas. With the exciting finish and the low scores it should be an interesting season in 2016!!
