The 72-hole, stroke-play competition includes three-player teams from 15 countries that compete for team and individual honors, with two of the three scores counting toward the team score each day. The team from the Republic of Korea, led by individual champion Hye-Jin Choi, won the 2015 championship, a year after the USA claimed the inaugural title. Liu was a member of the winning 2014 team, and was also the individual champion.
