'Golf Empress' Park In-bee (32, KB Financial Group) said immediately after finishing as runner-up (9-under 271) at the third LPGA major, the KPMG Women's PGA Championship (total prize $4.3 million) held on the 12th (Korean time) at Aronimink Golf Club (par 70, 6,577 yards) in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, USA, "I played my best, but I simply could not catch Kim Sei-young," and praised, "It's unbelievable that she is a player without a major championship."

Park In-bee also started in 4th place, 3 strokes behind, and made 5 birdies. Her 262-yard long drives and especially her 'computer iron shots,' missing the green only twice, stood out. However, Kim Sei-young surged with 7-under par to achieve a commanding 5-stroke victory (14-under 266), setting a tournament record. She added, "Looking at the leaderboard, it was a situation where Kim Sei-young and I were competing in birdies," and shared, "I enjoyed this race."

Park In-bee said, "I did well at this year's AIG Women's Open (4th place) and this tournament," adding, "Although I fell a bit short of winning, it's a good sign that I still have competitiveness on the major stage." She also mentioned, "I have symptoms of phlegm in the morning, so I will take a break for a while," and expressed her determination, "I will prepare for the US Women's Open in December with confidence." The US Women's Open, originally scheduled for June, was moved to December due to the impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).
