Top seeds South Korea delighted their home fans by holding off the US and England to win the LPGA International Crown in Incheon on Sunday.
The heavily fancied Korean team of Chun In-gee, IK Kim, Park Sung-hyun and Ryu So-yeon doubled their two-point overnight lead during the final day singles in the team golf event.
“We never feel nervous going into a major, but we were nervous for a couple months before this,” Ryu said about playing in front of the packed home galleries at the Jack Nicklaus Club.
“There were so many fans out here,” Kim said. “I just had to tell myself to focus on every shot.”
The Koreans began the day a with a two-point lead and won two of their Sunday singles to finish on 15pts for the tournament, four clear of the chasing pair.
