Lee Mi Rim wins LPGA Kia Classic
South Korean Lee Mi Rim fired seven birdies in a seven-under 65 on Sunday to post a record-equalling triumph in the LPGA Kia Classic in Carlsbad, California.
Her 20-under total of 278 matched the tournament record set by Cristie Kerr in 2015 - when the American powered past Lee for a two-shot victory.
Determined not to be disappointed again, overnight leader Lee opened her round with a birdie and birdied every other hole on the front nine as she pulled away from the field.
