Sei Young Kim ended a five-year winless run on the LPGA Tour with a four-shot victory at the BMW Ladies Championship in South Korea.

The former major champion took a four-shot lead into the final day at Pine Beach Golf Links, with Kim retaining control - on home soil - by mixing six birdies with a lone bogey during a final-round 67.

Kim recovered from an early bogey at the par-three third to register four birdies in a five-hole stretch from the fifth, seeing her turn in 33, then extended her advantage with back-to-back gains from the 14th.

A three-par finish kept Kim on 24 under and comfortably ahead of closest challenger Nasa Hataoka, who matched her five-under 67, while A Lim Kim ended six strokes back in tied-third alongside Celine Boutier.
