We walked down 18 just now and we were like, `Does this feel weird to you? Like this is so weird.\u2032 So it\u2019s a little nervy out there. I feel like we handled it really well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gina Kim holed out from the fairway for eagle on the par-4 fifth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI knew I hit a really good shot and I was thinking, `Oh, OK, maybe I\u2019ll tap in in for birdie.\u2032 And then it just disappeared,\u201d she said. \u201cI think that really set the tone for the day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 26-year-old Gina Kim won in her 64th start on the LPGA Tour, while Wilson was making the ninth start of her rookie season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis has been the most fun week,\u201d Gina Kim said. \u201cIt\u2019s been tough, and it\u2019s nice to have a really good friend to be able to do this by.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last year, Wilson \u2014 the 2022 USGA Girls\u2019 Junior winner \u2014 was second and Gina Kim third on the Epson Tour money list to earn LPGA cards.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/raleighmovingnews.com\/?p=3012\">Rod Brind\u2019Amour\u2019s Hurricanes just 60 minutes from a Stanley Cup<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cPart of the reason I asked Yana to be my partner is we actually played in the final group on Epson and we\u2019ve played together numerous times,\u201d Gina Kim said. \u201cSo, I knew she was really, really good under pressure and I trusted her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hyo Joo Kim and Choi finished with a 65.<\/p>\n<p>Somi Lee and Jin Hee Im had a 61 to tie for third at 14 under with former UCLA teammates Alison Lee and Lilia Vu (64).<\/p>\n<p>Juli Inkster, who at 66 became the oldest player in LPGA history to make the cut in an official event, teamed with Angel Yin to tie for 12th at 9 under.
