In what can only be described as a career hallmark, Amy Yang has clinched her first major title at the Women's PGA Championship, as reported by KING5. Yang admitted to her caddie, Jan Meierling, "This has been the longest 18 holes I've ever played in my career." The victory marks a turning point following a string of near-successes in major tournaments for the South Korean golfer.

The championship win also secured Yang a spot in the Paris Olympics, enhancing her representation of South Korea for a third time, as detailed by PGA Tour. Considering this was her 75th major start, this win sets a notable benchmark, as she became the player with the most starts before finally seizing a major title since Angela Stanford's 76-start precedent.

Yang's journey to the championship was far from smooth sailing. She had to remain composed after a three-putt on the 16th and a costly mistake on the par-3 17th, where her tee shot veered into a lake, resulting in a double bogey. Despite these challenges, Yang delivered a flawless tee shot on the par-5 18th, securing her win amid a chorus of Champagne showers and celebrations from fellow players.

Prior to her triumphant final moment, Yang's lead was undeniable. She held a two-shot lead at tee-off on a notably cooler Sunday and managed to not just retain, but to extend her lead to five by the mid-point. "At one point I thought, 'Will I every win a major championship before I retire?'?'" Yang told KING5. With this victory, she has decisively answered that question.

Yang's win wasn't just a personal feat; it marked the latest victory by a South Korean player since last year's CME Group Tour Championship, according to the authorities at the PGA Tour. It's a mighty testament to Yang's persistent spirit, proving that even after 74 attempts without a major, the 75th can indeed be the charm.
