Amy Yang of South Korea did more than claim the first major of her 17-year career at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship on Sunday. She also punched her ticket to the Summer Olympics in Paris by rising 15 spots to No. 5 in the Rolex Rangs.
The third women's major of the year served as the final event before the 60-player Olympic field was finalized on Monday. Also earning a spot was Japan's Miyu Yamashita, who leapt past countrywomen Ayaka Furue and Nasa Hataoka with her runner-up finish at Sahalee Country Club in Sammamish, Wash.
