HARRISON, N.Y. – Sei Young Kim couldn’t catch Inbee Park in the final round of the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship on Sunday, but she positioned herself well to make a historic run at trying to win the Rolex Player of the Year and Rolex Rookie of the Year awards.
Nancy Lopez is the only player in LPGA history to sweep both awards. She did it in 1978.
Kim sits atop the Rolex Rookie of the Year points race and is now second to Park in the Rolex Player of the Year points race.
