The event, which took place on Sunday, saw the South Korean golfers beat Lexi Thompson and her partner, Megan Khang, in a close tiebreaker.\n\nThe championship definition extended to the first playoff hole, where Lee holed a birdie putt from eight feet away. Khang had the opportunity to maintain the tie, but her birdie attempt from five feet was unsuccessful, falling short of the hole.\n\nThompson and Khang had finished the regular round with an impressive 60 under par in the fourballs format, reaching a total of 20 under par (260). Lee, for his part, had achieved a crucial ten-foot birdie on the 17th hole to tie for the lead. Both Lee and Im missed birdie opportunities on the 18th hole, which led to the tiebreaker.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a1.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F0629%2Fr1512868_1024x576_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"Jin Hee Im y Somi Lee de Corea del Sur celebran su victoria en el Dow Championship en el Midland Country Club.\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n<em>Jin Hee Im and Somi Lee of South Korea celebrate their victory at the Dow Championship at Midland Country Club.<\/em>\n\nThe tiebreaker was played in a foursomes format. Thompson left his tee shot on the 18th hole just five feet from the hole. Im got closer to the pin, but was eight feet away, setting the stage for Lee&#8217;s winning putt.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>It&#8217;s a shame to miss the last putt in the playoff to force another hole, but I&#8217;m very happy with how we played.<\/p><cite>Megan Khang<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nThis triumph represents the first title on American soil for Im and Lee, who are in their second year on the LPGA Tour. Both golfers have a successful history on the Korea LPGA, with six victories for Im and five for Lee.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>I can&#8217;t believe it.<\/p><cite>Somi Lee<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nLindy Duncan and Miranda Wang shot a 59 in the better-ball format and shared third place. Manon De Roey and Pauline Roussin-Bouchard also stood out with a 64. Albane Valenzuela and Sarah Schmelzel, who were leading after 54 holes, finished in fifth place, three strokes behind the winners.\n\nThe Dow Championship is the only official team event on the LPGA schedule.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Somi Lee and Jin Hee Im Crowned at the Dow Championship In an exciting golf day, Somi Lee and Jin Hee Im, both from South Korea, won the Dow Championship.
