Despite having to deal with wind and rain each day, In-Kyung (I-K) Kim played virtually flawless while posting an 18 under to win the Ricoh Women’s British Open by 2 strokes over a fast finishing Jodi Ewart Shadoff. This was IK’s 3rd win on tour this year. She had a 6 stroke lead going into the final rounds and coasted home with a 71.
