Kim Sei-young won the Pelican Women's Championship in Florida on Sunday for her second straight victory of the season.
The South Korean LPGA star closed with an even-par 70 to finish at 14-under 266 for a three-stroke victory over Ally McDonald of the United States.
Kim won for the 12th time on the LPGA Tour to break a tie for third on the South Korean victory list with Shin Ji-yai, behind only Park In-bee and Pak Se-ri.
The 27-year-old captured her maiden major title last month at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship, and is the first player to follow her first major victory with a win in her next start since Ariya Jutanugarn in 2016 in the Women's British Open and CP Women's Open.
Stephanie Meadow of Northern Ireland was third at 9 under after a 69.
Fellow Korean Ko Jin-young tied for 34th at 3 over after a 71 in her first LPGA Tour event of the year.
Ko, No. 1 in the world for the last 68 weeks, had been home in South Korea since the COVID-19 pandemic.
