First-time winners have become a thing on the LPGA Tour in 2022. Scotland’s Gemma Dryburgh became the 11th player to earn her maiden tour victory on Sunday, the 29-year-old shooting a bogey-free 65 on Sunday to take the title at the Toto Japan Classic.
Dryburgh did it convincingly at Seta Golf Course in Shiga, birdieing four of her final six holes to pace the field by four shots after starting the day one off the lead.
Eleven first-time winners in a season ties the record on the LPGA Tour. The last time this many had won in a single season was 1995.
With the victory, Dryburgh won a first-place prize money payout of $300,000 from a purse $1.5 million. That boosted her year-long earnings to $525,768 and her career earnings to $737,975.
