WASHINGTON: South Korea’s Kim In-Kyung birdied six of the first nine holes on her way to a four-stroke victory Sunday at the Marathon Classic to capture her sixth LPGA title. Kim, ranked 28th, fired a bogey-free eight-under par 63 at Highland Meadows Golf Club in Sylvania, Ohio, to finish 72 holes on 21-under par 263. It was the second triumph in as many months for Kim, who captured last week’s ShopRite LPGA Classic. She has also taken three European Ladies Tour events, including her second triumph in three years at last September’s Ladies European Masters. LPGA rookie Chien, ranked 266th in the world, managed her first top-10 finish this season after missing the cut in 10 of her 16 prior LPGA starts this year.
