RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. – In-Kyung Kim slayed her demon memory at Kingsbarns in Scotland two years ago.
When she won the Women’s British Open, she put to rest the question of whether she would ever get over the agonizing way she lost the Kraft Nabisco in 2012 and be able to win her first major championship.
She did so in such elegant fashion, refusing to flinch while holding off a hard, late charge from Jodi Ewart Shadoff.
There are no demons to slay in her return to the top of the leaderboard at the Mission Hills Dinah Shore Course, where missing that 14-inch putt no longer haunts her.
