Day four report
America's Danielle Kang won her first major title by landing the KPMG Women's PGA Championship at Olympia Fields.
Kang, who had never even won an LPGA Tour event before this weekend, shared the overnight lead with Chella Choi of South Korea but four successive birdies from 11 to 14 swept her clear of the field.
The 24-year-old Las Vegas resident suffered a late wobble when she produced a bogey on the 17th after finding a bunker.
Defending champion Brooke M Henderson drew level on 12 under par on the 18th having fallen just short with a monster putt but playing a hole behind, Kang finished strongly.
A superb second shot off the fairway set her up for a birdie which she completed to complete a closing 68 which saw her finish one shot ahead of Henderson on 13 under with Choi in third.
"I just trusted in my game and didn't worry about anything else. It's all about being confident and believing in yourself," Kang said.

Day three report
South Korea's Chella Choi and America's Danielle Kang both sit atop the KPMG Women's PGA Championship leaderboard after the penultimate round as the two chase their first ever major title.
Joint overnight leader Kang, who has never even won an LPGA Tour event, birdied the last despite landing her approach in a greenside bunker to join Choi on 10 under overall ahead of the final 18 holes at Olympia Fields.
The pair are two clear of Choi's compatriot Jiyai Shin after her third-round 64 catapulted her into contention, while teenager Brooke Henderson, this tournament's reigning champion, is only three off the lead.
England's Jodi Ewart Shadoff had been just one stroke back at the midway point but she dropped five shots in her opening 12 holes to slip down the leaderboard.
Kang's 68 means she has now signed for three successive sub-70 rounds and she had the outright lead or a share of it for much of the day having made gains at the first, sixth and eighth.
She chipped in at 12 to save par but soon saw Choi join her at the summit as she rolled in for her third birdie of the day on the 14th.
Choi fired a bogey-free 67 on Saturday and picked up a shot on the last, taking full advantage as Kang three-putted 16.
Kang would eventually birdie the par-five 18th herself, despite finding the sand with her second shot, to ensure there was nothing separating her and Choi after 54 holes.
Day two report
Sei Young Kim and Danielle Kang leapt to the top of the KPMG Women's PGA Championship leaderboard at the halfway point while England's Jodi Ewart Shadoff is only a shot adrift of the pair in Illinois.
South Korea's Kim and Kang of the United States have carded identical scores over the course of the first two rounds, following up 69s on Thursday with five under par 66s at Olympia Fields.
Kim finished runner-up in this competition to compatriot Inbee Park at Westchester Country Club in New York two years ago, but she has given herself an excellent opportunity to go one better this time around.
The 24-year-old dropped a shot on the third but it proved to be her only blemish of the day as she bounced back with birdies at the fifth, seventh and eighth while she picked up further shots at the 13th, 14th and 18th holes.
She told lpga.com: "Fortunately, when I teed off, (it was) a little less windy (than Thursday). So I was able to play to the pin, attack the pin. So I made a lot of opportunities for the birdie chance.
"Kang, a two-time US Women's Amateur champion, has yet to make a bogey in 36 holes while birdies at the first and last, as well as at the fourth, eighth and 12th, lifted her into a share of the lead on seven under overall.
"Both of those rounds, I kept my game plan and they were both bogey-free, so I'm pretty happy," she said.
Ewart Shadoff also carded a blemish-free round of 66 to move to within a shot of the leaders, sitting alongside South Korean trio Mi Hyang Lee, Chella Choi and Amy Yang and America's Brittany Lincicome.
Defending champion Brooke M Henderson is among four players a further shot back.
Day one report
Chella Choi holds the clubhouse lead in the KPMG Women's PGA Championship while fellow South Korean Amy Yang is level on five under par after a weather-interrupted opening round at Olympia Fields.
Choi, who finished in a tie for eighth at Sahalee Country Club in Washington 12 months ago, came alive towards the end of her round with four birdies in her closing six holes to surge to the top of the leaderboard as she carded an opening 66 in Illinois.
Yang was on the final hole, having just made a bogey on the 17th to drop back alongside Choi, when the lightning alarm sounded which halted play for the day.
America's Brittany Altomare and Joanna Klatten of France were on four under while defending champion Brooke M Henderson was among six players a shot further back.
After carding five birdies and two bogeys, the Canadian told lpga.com: "I'm in a great spot right now, so I'm really excited. Minus three on this tough course, and these tough conditions, you know, it's a great way to start out this championship.
"Michelle Wie also carded an opening 68 and seems intent on enjoying herself on the course.
She said: "I just had a lot of fun in tough conditions. It was tough out there but (you) kind of have to laugh off the mistakes a little bit out here. I mean, it's a tough golf course. Olympia Fields is a really pure golf course. It's playing great right now."
Bronte Law is the leading Briton after a two-under 69 on Thursday, while English compatriot Jodi Ewart Shadoff is on the same score after 15 holes.
