PHOENIX (AP) -- Hyo Joo Kim birdied five of the last eight holes to outlast Stacy Lewis on Sunday at Desert Ridge in the JTBC Founders Cup.
The 19-year-old Kim closed with a 5-under 67, holing a 10-foot birdie putt on the par-4 18th to beat Lewis by three strokes for her second LPGA Tour title.
Lewis shot a 68. She pulled within a stroke with a birdie on the par-4 16th, but three-putted for bogey on 18.
Kim finished at 21-under 267 at Wildfire Golf Club.
Kim won the Evian Championship last year in France for first major title and also has eight victories on the South Korean tour. She is the fifth South Korean winner in the first six events this year -- and the other winner, top-ranked Lydia Ko, was born in South Korea.
