Minjee Lee secures 3rd major win at KPMG Women's PGA Championship at PGA Frisco
Minjee Lee closed with a 2-over 74 but never gave up the lead Sunday in the final round of the KPMG Women's PGA Championship to win her third major title.
While Lee had three bogeys in a four-hole stretch on the front nine, she had started the day with a four-stroke lead over Jeeno Thitikul. And the world's No. 2-ranked player, also in that final group, bogeyed both par 5s that are among the first three holes on Fields Ranch East at PGA Frisco.
Lee, ranked 24th, finished at 4-under 284, three strokes ahead of Auston Kim and Chanettee Wannasaen, the only other players under par.
"A lot of patience out there today. Obviously, I had ups and downs today," Lee said. "It's a battle against myself pretty much, especially with how tough the conditions were this whole week, not just today. Just amplified because it's major Sunday."
Kim and Wannasaen both shot 68 to match the best rounds of the day, and the tournament, after only two 68s combined the first three rounds. Kim was bogey-free, but had only pars after three consecutive birdies to wrap up her front nine.
With a record $12 million purse that was up from $10.4 million a year ago and matched the U.S. Women's Open for the most price money, Lee took home $1.8 million. That matches the $1.8 million Lee got for her four-stroke win in the 2022 U.S. Women's Open.
The 29-year-old Australian who is a Texas resident, living in nearby Irving, got her 11th career win. It was her first this season, making it 16 players to win 16 LPGA tournaments this year.
While still windy like it had been all week at 15-20 mph, there weren't the constant gusts of 30 mph or more that had made the playing conditions so difficult Saturday.
Thitikul, still in search of her first major title, had the solo lead after the first and second rounds. But she fell behind shooting a 76 on Saturday, when Lee had the only bogey-free round for any player until then. Thitikul then hit her first shot Sunday into the right rough on way to a 75 to finish at 1 over 289, tied for fourth with Chisato Iwai (71).
Lee's lead Sunday never got under two, and she preserved that with a clutch 8-foot par putt at the 170-yard 13th hole to stay at 3 under. That came about the same time Wannasaen rolled in a 14-foot eagle putt at the 235-yard par-4 15th hole to get to 1 under, though the 21-year-old from Thailand then missed the green and bogeyed the 455-yard 16th.
"Pretty much I saw every single leaderboard and knew exactly where I was pretty much all of today," Lee said. "Just really played within myself today."
There was a subtle fist pump from Lee when she then made a 9-foot birdie at No. 14, the only par 5 on the back nine, and followed with another birdie at No. 15. She was the only player this week with two rounds in the 60s, with 69s on Thursday and Saturday.
Lee's first bogey was at the par-5 third after her third shot went into a deep greenside bunker, then she had back-to-back bogeys on the 441-yard fifth and 434-yard sixth hole. She didn't have a birdie until the ninth to make the turn at 4 under — at the time three ahead of Thitikul and Kim.
Kim started the final round nine strokes back, which was two more than the record comeback for a women's major. Several players have done that, including Lee when she won the 2021 Evian Championship in France by coming from seven back for her first major title.
The 24-year-old Kim opened her round with a 5-foot birdie putt on the 528-yard par 5 first. She got within two strokes of Lee after the three birdies to wrap up her front nine. Her tee shot at the 157-yard 8th hole stopped a foot from the cup, and was sandwiched by a pair of 2 1/2-foot birdies before parring out.
Nelly Korda, the world's top-ranked player, and semi-retired Lexi Thompson both closed with 76s.
Thompson, in the second-to-last group for the second day in a row, finished tied for 12th at 293. The 30-year-old, who played for only the seventh time in 16 tournaments this season, has gone 11 years since her only major win in the 2014 Kraft Nabisco Championship.
Korda tied for 19th at 6-over 294 and still hasn't won this year after winning seven times last season.

(Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC) "Jon Jones called us last night and retired." That's how it ended, according to UFC CEO Dana White. The man who would be GOAT called it a career on Saturday via late-night phone call… hours before news broke that he's facing yet another criminal charge. A complicated legacy: If this is it for Jones, it's a laughably anticlimactic end to a great though troubled career. The single most consistent part of his story was that he always remained the greatest threat to his own ambitions — and the only limit on his own ability, writes Uncrowned's Ben Fowlkes: Advertisement No one could stop him in the cage. Outside of it, he couldn't stop himself from lighting it all on fire, then begging for mercy and swearing to be better from now on, then doing it again. He was our spoiled genius, a petulant boy king who kept threatening to finally grow up but never really did. He also might have been the greatest fighter this sport has ever known, but he couldn't ever stay focused on that goal long enough to keep showing up in ways that would have removed all doubt. Is this really the last we see of Jones in the UFC? I kind of doubt it. I think once he sees how quickly the sport and the heavyweight division moves on without him — and once he sees what life is like as a former UFC champ — he'll want back in. I'd be surprised if, by this time next year, he's still as retired as he claims. But if it is the end, his legacy won't be a simple one. And it won't be one that he alone gets to dictate. Jones' story is about greatness, but it's also about the price of it. Advertisement Here was a man who was so good and gifted at this one specific thing that he almost couldn't help but take it for granted. He treated his peerless career like it was a toy he could dangle out the window of a moving car, just for the thrill of seeing how close he could come to losing it entirely. We watched in awe of the fighter, then shook our heads in weary dismay at the man. We end (or so we're told) by repeating that pattern. There goes Jon Jones, maybe the greatest of all time. But also maybe not. We're sad to see him go with business left unfinished. But also maybe we're not.

Minjee Lee Gets Women's PGA Championship Shoutout from PGA Tour Star
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Twelve weeks after Min Woo Lee captured his first PGA Tour title in Houston, his sister Minjee Lee delivered a major moment of her own. On Sunday, the 29-year-old Australian clinched her third career major by winning the 2025 KPMG Women's PGA Championship at Fields Ranch East in Frisco, Texas. Lee closed with a gritty 2-over 74 in swirling winds and firm conditions, holding off late charges from Auston Kim and Chanettee Wannasaen to finish at 4-under for the week. Her final round was not flawless. She had five bogeys and just three birdies, but it was enough to make her the first Australian to win this major since Hannah Green in 2019. The winning moment came with a steady par on the 18th, followed by a quiet fist pump and a champagne shower from fellow Aussies on the green. FRISCO, TEXAS - JUNE 22: Minjee Lee of Australia is doused with champagne on the 18th hole green after winning the KPMG Women's PGA Championship 2025 at Fields Ranch East at PGA Frisco on June...

(Photo by) More Getty Images While Minjee was making history, her younger brother Min Woo Lee was grinding through a tough week of his own. The 27-year-old finished T63 at the Travelers Championship after carding a final score of +5. But that didn't stop him from cheering her on. "Let her cook, come on sis," he posted on Instagram. Following that was her winning post with 4-word message, "3 time Major Champ," reflecting how proud he was. Minjee Lee Gets Women's PGA Championship Shoutout from Her Brother, Min Woo Lee. (Screenshot from @minwoo27lee) Minjee Lee Gets Women's PGA Championship Shoutout from Her Brother, Min Woo Lee. (Screenshot from @minwoo27lee) Instagram After her win, he added, "It's nice to be at a major and her game is built for the majors. She's very solid and her mental side is one of the best I've ever seen." "So mix that in with some good putting and good short game and, yeah, she's going to win. I'm very proud of her". The Lee siblings are rewriting golf history together. They're only the third brother-sister duo to win professional golf events, joining Cathy and Billy Kratzert and Jackie and Jim Gallagher Jr. They were already the first to win the same USGA event, Minjee won the U.S. Girls' Junior in 2012, Min Woo the U.S. Boys' Junior in 2016, and the first to represent Australia in Olympic golf. Now, they're the first to win Tour events in the same six-month span. A look back at Minjee Lee's winning moment Minjee's final round was a test of patience and poise. She bogeyed three of her first six holes, but steadied herself with a birdie at the ninth. A clutch par save at 13 kept her lead intact, and back-to-back birdies on 14 and 15 gave her breathing room. "I'm mentally fried," she said afterward. "I felt like every day was a grind and I really had to dig deep to do it, but it feels pretty awesome". With this win, Lee not only pocketed $1.8 million from the record $12 million purse, but also moved one step closer to a career grand slam. She now owns major titles at the Evian (2021), U.S. Women's Open (2022), and PGA Championship (2025). Only the Chevron and AIG Women's Open remain.

Marcel Reed may be the SEC's most overlooked quarterback, but Texas A&M believes
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Among SEC quarterbacks this season, LSU's Garrett Nussmeier is the experienced pocket passer whose methodical development could land him in the first-round of next year's NFL Draft. There is LaNorris Sellers, the dynamic athlete who seems primed to take a big leap forward in Year 3 for South Carolina. At Florida, DJ Lagway was so good as a freshman last year he helped save his head coach's job. Oklahoma's John Mateer is the flashy incoming transfer. And, of course, there is Arch Manning, Texas' first-year starter and cultural phenomenon. Advertisement Texas A&M's Marcel Reed has neither the name nor the narrative to be mentioned with the SEC's upper-tier QBs, but the numbers suggest he should be in that conversation. 'The challenge that he's battling is just the most high-profile game he won was against LSU, and he won it with his feet,' Texas A&M coach Mike Elko said. Ask an average college football fan about Reed, and there is a good chance that late October night game at Kyle Field will come up. The Texas A&M quarterback came off the bench to start the second half and ran wild on the Tigers in a 38-23 victory that propelled the Aggies into November as SEC championship contenders. Reed had already started three Aggies victories early in the season when preseason QB1 Conner Weigman was injured, and he was good enough down the stretch — despite the team's 1-4 finish — that Elko felt no pressing need to go portal shopping for a replacement. 'We were committed to Marcel the whole time,' Elko said. But in his breakout performance on a big stage, Reed beat the Tigers throwing just two passes, leaving lingering questions about that part of his game. 'Then you look at Auburn, where he brings us back from a 21-0 deficit, drives us down the field to give us the lead late in the fourth quarter,' Elko said. 'You look at the bowl game, where he throws for (292) yards, drives us down the field to take the lead late in the game. But I think all of that gets trumped by the most-high profile game he plays, which is LSU, where the rhetoric on the entire broadcast is his feet, his feet, his feet. And so that just becomes the easy national narrative to pick up because nobody really wants to do the research to dig into statistically what it looks like.' Heading into Year 3 in College Station, Reed, the former four-star recruit and Tennessee Mr. Football, is embracing his first time being the clear QB1 since high school. 'It's a lot more comfortable coming into the offseason,' Reed said as the Aggies wound down spring practice. 'But you know, there's a lot of pressure, and there's things that are gonna be thrown on my shoulders, and I gotta take it and run with it.' Advertisement Statistically, Reed looks a lot like those far more heralded quarterbacks in the SEC. His completion percentage last season was better than Lagway's (61.3 to 59.9). His yards per pass and efficiency rating were almost identical to Nussmeier's, albeit in far fewer passes. Reed's interception (2.5) and touchdown (6.25) percentages are right in line with those of Sellers. 'I feel like everybody has their perception on who's a good passer and who isn't,' Reed said. 'You can go look at the stats and the percentages all you want. I feel like I'm up there. Actually, I know I'm up there.' And the 6-foot-2, 185-pound Reed ran for 543 yards and seven touchdowns, averaging 4.68 yards per carry. That's the same number of rushing touchdowns as Sellers and one fewer than Vanderbilt's Diego Pavia, with a better per-carry average than both. Texas A&M offensive coordinator Collin Klein said Reed stepped into an offense that lacked explosiveness last season, with limitations at receiver and injuries at running back. 'Candidly, we were not very sexy on offense last year, right?' Klein said. 'Our explosives over 20 (yards) were not nearly where they need to be. I think some of that from a flash perspective probably affects the perception of him.' Still, the Aggies did a lot of important things well. In SEC play, Texas A&M was No. 1 in scoring offense (29.4 points per game), No. 1 in red-zone touchdown and overall scoring percentage and tied for first in turnover margin. 'That doesn't happen if you don't play really well at quarterback,' said Klein. Klein knows all about the value of a quarterback who can make plays with his legs. He ran for 2,485 yards and 56 touchdowns in his career as a 6-4, 225-pound battering ram with Kansas State, becoming a Heisman Trophy finalist in 2012. Reed is a very different type of running threat. Advertisement 'Oh, shoot, he's way the heck faster than I am,' Klein said. 'I wouldn't have gotten hit as much if I had his twitch.' And there is hope in College Station that A&M has upgraded at receiver through the portal, most notably with the addition of KC Concepcion from NC State. Texas A&M was one of a host of CFP contenders and hopefuls who eschewed the transfer portal this offseason at the most important position on the field. Instead of seeking out a plug-and-play veteran quarterback, several teams are rolling with less experienced players who are developing the old-fashioned way. That group includes Julian Sayin at Ohio State and CJ Carr at Notre Dame, both standard redshirt freshmen. Sayin did transfer from Alabama to Ohio State, but he never even made it to spring practice with the Crimson Tide, leaving after Nick Saban's retirement in January 2024. Georgia saw enough from Gunner Stockton in the SEC Championship Game and CFP to roll with him in 2025. Ty Simpson, who has thrown 50 passes in three seasons at Alabama, was leading a three-way competition out of spring practice. At Ole Miss, Austin Simmons takes over for first-round draft pick Jaxson Dart. Simmons' next start will be his first. Reed has more game experience than all of those players — plus Manning — but look at the Heisman odds at BetMGM and you'll find Reed (+4000) behind most of them. There is some irony to Reed being viewed as more of a runner than a passer. At Montgomery Bell Academy in Nashville, he directed what he described as a pro-style offense. 'I'd say more than 50 or 60 percent of my snaps were under center back in high school,' Reed said. Thomas Morris of QB Country trained Reed for several years and still stays in touch with his former pupil. Morris said although Reed was well-coached in high school, MBA's offense didn't highlight his athleticism. Advertisement In a 2023 recruiting class headlined by Manning and Nico Iamaleava, who recently transferred from Tennessee to UCLA, Reed was ranked No. 20 among quarterbacks by 247Sports. 'If it was a different offense, I think he probably would have been a five-star, and probably, I think, he would have been the top dual-threat in the country,' Morris said. 'Because he flashed this little Lamar Jackson, kind of Deshaun Watson-type thing, and you could see it, but it just wasn't the offense for it, so he didn't get to put it on display as much as he needed to.' The transfer portal flows both ways, so as important as it was for Texas A&M to be committed to Reed, he needed to reciprocate. 'Quarterback situations around the country are just incredibly fragile all the time, right?' Klein said. 'You think you know one thing one day, and then all of a sudden it changes the next day.' Reed was recruited by the previous staff, but Klein and Elko won him over as they started anew after the fiery collapse of Jimbo Fisher's tenure. 'I think he respected how myself and Coach Elko handled some of the situations last year, with honesty, transparency, fairness,' Klein said. 'Obviously, most of it went in his favor.' Waiting his turn behind Weigman paid off for Reed, and there was no reason to bail on a good situation after showing he could play. 'Obviously, when it comes to hitting the portal and going other places, then you have to meet a whole new roster, all new coaches. You've got to build different relationships,' Reed said. 'And I think the relationships that I built here are the ones that I want to have forever. So there's really no reason for me to leave.'
