In Gee Chun's Weight Loss & Health Issues
In Gee Chun, the 2022 Women's PGA Championship, recovered from a mysterious esophageal malady in 2017 that forced her to withdraw from the Meijer Classic and put her in the hospital for two days in Grand Rapids, Mich. Her coach was concerned because her windpipe was constricting and she couldn't swallow food. As a result, Chun's health issues caused her weight loss.

In Gee Chun Perseveres and Beats Lexi Thompson to Win the Women’s PGA 2022
In Gee Chun (@ingeechun_dumbo) maintained an upbeat, smiling demeanor throughout the Women's PGA Championship, which is easy to do when you shoot 64 in the first round and lead comfortably for the majority of the tournament. All of her positive thinking was put to the test in the final round. "Golf is never easy," the 27-year-old South Korean said.
The legendary athlete won her third major championship by performing admirably in the first round on a rainy day and persevering through a hot weekend at Congressional. On Sunday, she quickly squandered what remained of a sizable lead, then rallied to win by one when Lexi Thompson's putting faltered down the stretch.
The South Korean golfer shot a 3-over-par 75 on the final two days of the tournament. She finished at 5-under 283, just one stroke ahead of Thompson (73) and Minjee Lee (70). The 27-year-old Floridian missed a par putt from a few feet on No. 14, but a birdie on No. 15 extended her lead to two. Then she bogeyed the par-5 16th while Chun birdied it, tying the two players with two holes to play.
Thompson three-putted for bogey on 17 after declining a post-round news conference. Her birdie putt on 18 was not hit firmly enough after an impressive approach from the rough. Chun's approach shot on the par-4 18th bounced past the hole and just off the back of the green, but she put to within about 5 feet and sank her par putt for the victory.
