Kim Dominates as one of The Youngest Female Champions


Lora Kim (Katy, TX) had an incredible performance at the STPGA Challenge, securing the win at only twelve years-old. After ending Round 1 at BlackHorse as T3, Kim made an incredible performance on the Round 2 front nine, shooting three birdies to become solo lead. In an interview after the tournament, Kim said that she told herself "it's possible to get back up" after Round 1 and not to give up on her game.
