PING pro In-Kyung (I.K.) Kim scorched Mexico’s Guadalajara Country Club on Sunday, recording nine birdies en route to a final-round 64 and a dominating three-stroke win in the Lorena Ochoa Invitational. Kim’s 19-under total was good for her third career LPGA win.

Tied with three others one stroke behind to start the day, Kim separated herself from the pack with a 30 on the front nine, which featured six birdies, including four in a row. Shooting all four rounds in the 60s, the 22-year-old South Korean made 22 birdies for the week and only three bogeys. Once in front on Sunday, the fourth-year pro was in command, her shot making demonstrating why she had 11 top-10 finishes in 20 starts on the LPGA this season, including top-fives in three majors.

In Kim’s bag were S56 irons, and her victory represented the 10th worldwide win for the PING irons since they were first put in play in June. Also in her bag was a Rapture driver, G15 3-wood, G10 5-wood, i15 hybrid, and she mastered the greens with a iWi B60 putter.
