Two Korean players tied for second place at the LPGA Tour event on their home soil Sunday, with one blowing a four-stroke lead and another coming up short after a late push. Yuri Yoshida of Japan won the BMW Ladies Championship with a four-round total of 17-under 271 at Pine Beach Golf Links in Haenam, some 330 kilometers south of Seoul, after carding a four-under 68 in Sunday's final round at the par-72 course. Yoshida held off two Koreans, Ryu Hae-ran and Choi Hye-jin, by one stroke for her first career victory. Ryu started the final round holding a four-stroke lead at 17-under but shot a 73 on Sunday after a bogey-birdie-bogey finish. Choi, going for her maiden LPGA title in her 125th career start, had a chance to force a playoff but had her birdie putt on the 18th hole lip out for a par and a round of 69. Yoshida, playing in a group ahead of Ryu, put some early pressure on the Korean with an eagle at the par-5 second, which moved her to 15-under, two behind Ryu. Yoshida then collected three consecutive birdies starting at the par-4 fifth, the last of which gave her the sole possession
