Top Golfer Seo Gyolim Aims for Fifth Win of the Season as Rival Kim Min-sol Takes a Break

Seo Gyolim Aims for Third Consecutive Victory at KG Ladies Open
Chasing Historical Achievement as Only the Fourth Player with Three Straight Weekly Wins
"I Will Strive to Maintain This Winning Momentum at the Upcoming Tournament"

The nation’s top golfer Lim Seogyo is aiming for her third consecutive win in as many weeks, as well as her fifth victory of the season.

Lim Seogyo will compete in the 15th KG Ladies Open on the Korea Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) Tour, held on August 27 at Sunny Point Country Club (par 72) in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province. The tournament has a total prize pool of 1 billion won.

All eyes are on Lim Seogyo. After winning the Mediheal·Hankook Ilbo Championship on August 16, she added a second consecutive title at the 48th BC Card·Hankyung KLPGA Championship, achieving back-to-back victories. In both events, she outperformed her peer rival Kim Min-sol, also born in 2006, to clinch the top spot. Unfortunately, Kim Min-sol is not competing in this tournament due to lingering back pain.

This season, Lim Seogyo became the first player to claim four wins. She currently leads in multiple categories—wins, Player of the Year points (490 points), prize money (1,286,766,000 won), and scoring average (70.2779). A victory in this tournament would further solidify her dominance.

If Lim Seogyo wins, she will become only the fourth golfer in history to claim three consecutive weekly victories, joining Pak Se-ri, Kim Mi-hyun, and Seo Hee-kyung. “Winning my first major title at the previous event was even more meaningful,” Lim stated, adding, “I am determined to continue this winning momentum in the upcoming tournament.”
