Ryu Hae-ran captured her first LPGA major title with a two-stroke victory at the 2026 KPMG Women's PGA Championship.

Ryu Hae-ran, the 25-year-old South Korean, closed with a two-under 70 at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnesota, to finish at 13-under 275. She beat fellow South Korean Yoon Ina by two strokes and collected $1.95 million.

Ryu held a one-shot lead after 54 holes. She trailed leader Yoon Ina by 10 shots after the opening round yet became the first LPGA player to rally from such a deficit to win a major.

The 2023 LPGA Rookie of the Year now has four career wins. She is the first South Korean to win an LPGA major since Amy Yang took this event two years ago and joined Lee Mi-hyang and Kim Hyo-joo as the third Korean winner on tour in 2026.
