Strong winds exceeding 30 mph further complicated the situation, requiring players to demonstrate precise control amidst the tough conditions.

The KPMG Women’s PGA Championship held at PGA Frisco faced significant challenges, particularly regarding course conditions that led to player complaints about the setup and pin placements.

Designed by Gil Hanse, the course rewarded aggressive play while punishing those who opted for a more conservative approach.

Despite the complaints, some players, including Angel Yin and Leona Maguire, appreciated the demanding conditions, viewing them as a vital test of skill in a major championship.

Maja Stark notably broke her putter in frustration during her final round, underscoring the difficulties competitors faced throughout the event.

By the final round, only Minjee Lee and world No. 2 Jeeno Thitikul managed to finish under par, showcasing their exceptional ability to navigate the challenging course.

Minjee Lee ultimately claimed victory, securing her third major title, despite the overall scoring average being the highest for an LPGA major since 2013 at 75.6.

The PGA Frisco course effectively identified and rewarded the best player, as evidenced by Lee's decisive win.

However, the event was not without its logistical issues, including six-hour rounds and difficulties with spectator accessibility, which need to be addressed ahead of the 2027 PGA Championship.

Several players, including Stacey Lewis and Nelly Korda, criticized the course setup as unfair, with some holes described as 'impossible' to play.
