A Lim Kim wins US Women’s Open debut with record-tying rally

HOUSTON — HOUSTON (AP) — The Bermuda grass of south Texas was unlike anything A Lim Kim had ever seen. The U.S. Women’s Open, with its reputation as the toughest test, was a major she had never played.

What didn't change in a frigid final round at Champions Golf Club was how to keep score. And when the 25-year-old from South Korea saw she was trailing and running out of holes, she started attacking flags.

Kim birdied her final three holes and tied the record for the largest comeback in a U.S. Women's Open, rallying from five shots behind with the a 4-under 67 to win the biggest event in women's golf.
