BETHESDA, MD (SNN-TV) – In Gee Chun rallied after losing the rest of her once-sizeable lead, overcoming a bogey-filled front nine to win the Women’s PGA Championship on Sunday when Coral Springs native Lexi Thompson faltered with her putter.
Chun shot a 3-over 75 for the second consecutive day at Congressional, but that was enough to win her third major title by a stroke over Thompson and Minjee Lee.
The victory is the Chun’s second major win, she won her first major at the U.S. Women’s Open in 2015.
