What BBN said about it

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistYuri Yoshida started Sunday four shots back, made an eagle on the par-5 second, and won her first LPGA Tour title in South Korea.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorHaeran Ryu led by four strokes going into the final round and shot a seventy-three.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI have watched governments last longer than that lead, and some of them had armies.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistAnd she'd already won four times on the LPGA of Japan Tour, so this one was waiting for her. I'm fine.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistSomeone else is cutting onions.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorHye-Jin Choi was one of the players Yoshida held off.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorShe's still looking for her first win in one hundred twenty-five career starts, and she has held or shared a fifty-four-hole lead five times.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistFive times?

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorFive. Yoshida is the fourth Japanese winner on tour this season, the AP says, so call it a good score.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistI'd name a cloud after her, but it'd be four shots wide and gone by dinner.
