Amy Yang
South Korea
Amy Yang claimed her first major title when she won the KPMG Women's PGA Championship in June 2024.
The South Korean finished on seven-under-par, three strokes clear of compatriot Jin Young Ko, Japan's Miyu Yamashita and 2023 AIG Women’s Open champion Lilia Vu.
Yang won the Smyth Salver – awarded to the best-placed amateur – at the AIG Women's Open in 2006 and posted her best finish in the Championship (T4) at Walton Heath last year. It was her 21st top-10 finish in a major.
She was twice a runner-up in the US Women's Open, losing by four shots to Na Yeon Choi in 2012 and then by just one to another of her compatriots, In Gee Chun, three years later.
On the second of those occasions Yang led by three after the second and third rounds, but Chun, making her debut in the championship and playing on invitation because she had yet to hold an LPGA Tour card, closed with a 66 to snatch the title away from her. An eagle on the 16th and birdie on the 17th re-ignited Yang’s hopes, but she bogeyed the last.
Yang has won six LPGA titles, including the CME Group Tour Championship in November 2023, and three Ladies European Tour events, the first of them as an amateur.
