LPGA Tour rookie So Yeon Ryu fired a final-round 9-under par 62 to win the Jamie Farr Toledo Classic Presented by Kroger, Owens Corning and O-I and become the fifth Rolex-First Time Winner this year. Currently leading the Louise Suggs Rolex Rookie of the Year race, a win last week further extended Ryu’s lead to 403 points over Lexi Thompson and she is well on her way to becoming the eighth player from her country to win the award.
Ryu has finished in the top-10 eight times this season and has made the cut in all 15 events she's played. She first made a name for herself on the LPGA Tour when she defeated Hee Kyung Seo in a three-hole playoff at the 2011 U.S. Women's Open to earn her first LPGA Tour victory and her LPGA Tour card for the 2012 season.
