20yrs age gap...
Great game frm both...

But seems e crowd was so-so when Kim won.... hehe

Literally down to the wire finish!

Great nerves of steel displayed by Kim when 1 down going into the final hole. Solid birdie finish!

Thot she was gone when she tufted her 2nd shot at hole 17th.  Good recovery later and then 18 was really something.

Sad tat NYC didnt hav a better finishing.. sob sob...

Unfortunately, Kim is an unknown whereas Karrie was the emotional favorite! 

Even during the interview, there was limited questions! Just wished that they had better interpreters so that a proper interview could be conducted. Of course, being first time winner at 19+ she would be unprepared for the interview.

PS: I also wished NYC did better! Seems like she has not won in a long time.
