Bae So-hyun achieved her first win in her 154th tournament on the Korea Ladies Professional Golf (KLPGA) Tour.
Bae So-hyun hit an even par 72 with 4 birdies and 4 bogeys in the final 3rd round of the 'E1 Charity Open' (total prize money of 900 million won) held at Ferrum Club (par 72) in Yeoju-si, Gyeonggi-do on the 26th.
Bae So-hyun, who recorded a final total of 207 strokes, 9 under par, rose to the top by ranking at the top of the leaderboard on the last day of the competition following the second round. She beat solo second-place Park Do-young, who finished with 6-under-par 210, by three strokes.
Bae So-hyun, who joined the KLPGA in 2011 and entered the regular tour in earnest in 2017, had not won a single championship before participating in this tournament. His solo third place record at the 2022 SK Shielders/SK Telecom Championship was his best personal result.
However, at the E1 Charity Open, the 154th tournament of his career, he enjoyed the honor of winning for the first time in his life with a good shot, including reducing 6 strokes in the second round. Bae So-hyun received the championship trophy and a prize money of 162 million won.
Park Min-ji, who has 18 wins on the KLPGA tour, tied for third place with 5 under par and 211 strokes, and ranked first in total prize money with a total prize money of 5,797,783,448 won, beating the previous number one, Hana Jang (5,770,492,684 won). Noh Seung-hee, Park Gyeol, and Hwang Jeong-mi, who were on par with Park Min-ji, also finished the competition in a tie for third place.
Seo Jin-jin ranked alone in 7th place with 4-under par 212 strokes, while Kim Min-ju, Yoo Hyun-jo, and Lee Su-jin3 tied for 8th place with 3 under par 213 strokes. Last year's winner of this tournament, Bang Shin-sil, finished in 14th place with 1 under par 215 strokes and failed to defend his title. 고스톱
