One of the most giving South Korean female golfers, Kim In-kyung, captured her second career title on the Ladies European Tour (LET) on Sunday in England, in her final prep tournament ahead of a major championship.

Kim, 26, who has donated her entire winnings to charity before, won the ISPS Handa Ladies European Masters at Buckinghamshire Golf Club, with a four-round total of 18-under 270. Nikki Campbell of Australia was the runner-up at 13-under.

The 26-year-old, who now resides in California, is a three-time LPGA winner with three top-5 finishes in the majors, including third at 2010 British Women’s Open.
