Yealimi Noh secured the first LPGA Tour title win of her career at Founders Cup, holding off the likes of Nelly Korda and Jin Young Ko to lift the trophy, finishing on a sublime score of 21 under; Noh: I told myself 2025 is going to be my year,

Three-time champion Jin Young Ko birdied six of her last nine holes Friday for an 8-under 63 and a two-stroke lead over four players in the LPGA Tour's Founders Cup.

The 23-year-old American golfer who hadn’t won a tournament since turning pro in 2019 pulled away from Jin Young Ko for the win in her 118th start.

Yealimi Noh carded a steady 3-under-par 68, and that was enough to pull away from the pack and win the Founders Cup by four shots on Sunday at Bradenton (Fla.) Country Club.

Yealimi Noh will always remember her first LPGA victory, but this will shine not just because she won, but who she beat to do it. The 23-year-old Californian fired a 3-under 68 to beat 15-time LPGA winner Jin Young Ko by four shots to win the Founders Cup Sunday at Bradenton Country Club in Florida.
