South Korean duo takes Dow Championship lead in LPGA team event as Korda and Cowan falter

Kim and Choi shot 69 in foursomes and were one of only six teams to break par as Korda and Cowan fell six shots back.

  • Hyo Joo Kim and Hye-Jin Choi posted a 1-under 69 in swirling winds Saturday to build a one-shot lead at the Dow Championship, navigating Midland Country Club to distance themselves from the field.
  • Both Kim and Choi rank among the top 20 players in the women's world rankings, positioning the South Korean duo as strong contenders in the Dow Championship LPGA event.
  • One shot back, Gina Kim and LPGA rookie Yana Wilson carded a 70, matching Juli Inkster and Angel Yin; Inkster, at 66, became the oldest player in LPGA history to make a cut.
  • Nelly Korda and Olivia Cowan shot 76 to fall six shots behind, landing tied for 13th—a rare round outside the final group for Korda after a strong tournament start.
  • Former UCLA teammates Alison Lee and Lilia Vu held the lead until a triple bogey on the 16th hole, where Vu's out-of-bounds tee shot shifted momentum in the tournament.
