South Korea's Kim A-lim claimed her second career LPGA Tour victory with a four-under-par 68 in the final round of the Lotte Championship, finishing two strokes ahead of Russian rookie Nataliya Guseva. Kim's total of 18-under 270 at Hoakalei Country Club in Ewa Beach, Hawaii, sealed her triumph after starting the day with a one-shot lead. 
 
Kim had a shaky start, bogeying the second hole, but regained her composure with three birdies in four holes. Despite a three-putt at the eighth that allowed Guseva to tie her at 15-under, Kim maintained her lead, which she held onto through the final round. A birdie on the 18th sealed the victory for Kim, who also made a hole-in-one at the ninth during Friday's third round. 
 
Guseva, who was hoping to make history as the first Russian LPGA Tour winner, finished in second place at 16-under after a final-round 69. American Auston Kim finished third at 15-under after a 67 in the final round. 
 
Kim expressed her enjoyment of the week, saying it was one of her most fun experiences on the course. Guseva congratulated Kim on the win, acknowledging her own strong performance despite not securing the title.
