NORTON, Mass. — Haeran Ryu rebounded from a third-round meltdown to win the FM Championship on a rainy Sunday at the TPC Boston.
Four strokes behind Jin Young Ko entering play Sunday after blowing a six-stroke lead Saturday, Ryu closed with an 8-under 64 to match Ko at 15-under 273, then beat the fellow South Korean player with a par on the first hole of a playoff.
“I was so nervous at the playoff, but maybe Jin Young Ko is same as me,” Ryu said. “I think just thank for God. I can’t believe it here now.” On Sunday, the 23-year-old birdied the first four holes and six of the first eight. She added birdies on Nos. 10, 12 and 15, dropped a stroke on the par-3 16th, then — after a rain delay of a little over two hours — parred the final two holes.
Ko also was 4 under after her first four holes, making eagles on Nos. 2 and 4. The 15-time LPGA Tour winner was even par the rest of the way, closing with four straight pars.
