The first career LPGA major tournament victory for Shiho Kuwaki was a lucrative payout as the 23-year-old earned a winner’s share of $1.5 million from a record purse of $10 million for the AIG Women’s Open (the event’s sixth consecutive increase).
Runner-up Esther Henseleit, who forced a playoff with a 40-foot birdie putt, pocketed $994,669, and third-place finisher Yealimi Noh won $720,803.
