Ko Jin-young defeats Minjee Lee, wins the Founders Cup

Posted : 15 May 2023
Ko Jin-young defeated reigning champion Minjee Lee to win the Founders Cup for a third time, forcing a play-off to decide the outcome of an LPGA tournament for the fourth consecutive season.
 
On the first extra hole, where Australian Lee could only make a three-putt for a bogey, the South Korean triumphed with a par.
 
In New Jersey, Lee had a two-hole lead with three holes remaining, but Ko gained ground when she bogeyed the 16th and joined Lee on 13 under.
 
"I played really, really good," said Ko.
 
"It was so windy, was too windy out there, so I thought if I play really well I could have a chance to win.
 
"So I really focused myself and focused shot by shot on every hole and didn't look at the scoreboard. I didn't think about the other players."
 
At Upper Montclair Country Club, South Korea's Hae-Ran Ryu and South Africa's Ashleigh Buhai tied for third place with a score of 10 under.
 
On four under, Georgia Hall of England tied for tenth place.
 
Ko, who won the Founders Cup in 2021 and 2019 on different courses, has already amassed 15 victories, plus two major titles, in only six years on the LPGA Tour.
