The inaugural FM Championship at TPC Boston was filled with drama as players had to endure a weather delay of over two hours before eventually crowning a champion. Jin Young Ko and Haeran Ryu ended up in a playoff hole, with darkness looming, before Ryu emerged victorious on the 19th hole.

Despite the weather challenges, Ko remained calm and focused during the delay, ultimately finishing in second place. Liu, who started the tournament with a 9 on her first hole, had an impressive comeback with back-to-back 64s, finishing in third place. Khang, a native of Rockland, also had a solid performance, finishing 3-under par for the tournament and expressing gratitude for the support from her hometown crowd.
The event was a success, with fans showing up in large numbers, particularly on the final day. Khang spoke highly of the support from the Boston crowd, calling it incredible and a testament to the growing popularity of women’s golf in New England. Overall, the FM Championship delivered an exciting competition and showcased the talent and resilience of the players, making it a memorable event for participants and spectators alike.
