(BELLEAIR, FL) - Sei Young Kim won the Pelican Women's Championship on Sunday for her second straight victory, closing with an even-par 70 for a 3 stroke victory over Ally McDonald. The KPMG Women's PGA winner on Oct. 11 in her last start, the second-ranked Kim won for the 12th time on the LPGA Tour to break a tie for third on the South Korean victory list with Jiyai Shin, behind only Inbee Park (20) and Se Ri Pak (25). The 27 year old Kim is the first player to follow her first major victory with a win in her next start since Ariya Jutanugarn in 2016 in the Women's British Open and CP Women's Open. Kim finished at 14 under 266 at Pelican Golf Club in the first-year tournament originally set for the same week as the PGA Championship in May. After her victory last month at Aronimink in Pennsylvania, she took a trip home to South Korea during the long break. McDonald birdied the last for a 68. She was coming off a victory in the Drive On Championship-Reynolds Lake Oconee in Georgia, her first on the tour. Stephanie Meadow was third at 9 under after a 69.
