Gina Kim and Yana Wilson secured their maiden LPGA Tour victories at the Dow Championship, firing an 8-under 62 in the final round's best-ball format to finish at 17-under 263. The pair edged Hyo Joo Kim and Hye-Jin Choi by two strokes at Midland Country Club, marking a breakthrough moment for both competitors.

Wilson, 19, was competing in just her ninth start as a rookie, while the 26-year-old Kim claimed her first title in 64 LPGA attempts. Kim's eagle-hole-out on the par-4 fifth proved decisive, transforming what she expected to be a birdie opportunity into a momentum-shifting eagle. Both players earned their LPGA cards after strong 2025 Epson Tour seasons, with Wilson finishing second and Kim placing third on the money list.

Their partnership carried extra significance given their history. Kim specifically chose Wilson as her teammate because they played together in the final group at Epson events previously. The trust paid dividends when Wilson handled the pressure of contending on Sunday, admitting they both felt unusual in the lead position.

Juli Inkster made history as the oldest player to make an LPGA cut at 66, tying for 12th with Angel Yin. Meanwhile, Nelly Korda and Olivia Cowan rebounded from a third-round 76 to tie for 17th, with Korda fresh off her U.S. Women's Open triumph.
