Mindy Kim, a second- year golfer of the Duramed Futures Tour claimed her first professional title at the Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City Championship. The 18-year-old finished with a score of four-under-par (210), a score that beat out the previous record from the 2007 tournament winner, Liz Janagelo.
Although the back nine was a struggle for Kim, she had already created a large enough cushion before starting on Sunday to finish strong and accept her money and trophy on the 18th hole.
Even with the victory, Kim is trying to focus on things to improve before competing in the Aurora Health Care Championship in Lake Geneva, Wis.
"I had a really tough time chipping,” Kim said. “I’ll work with my coach because I was chunking, topping and doing everything I could do that didn’t help.” Kim said in a news release from the Duramed Web site.
Jessica Shepley of Oakville, Ontario finished second with a score of one-over-par(214) for the weekend.
