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"

South Korea's top golfer Seo Gyolim is aiming for her fifth victory of the season and a third consecutive win in as many weeks.

On August 27, Seo Gyolim will compete in the 15th KG Ladies Open (total prize money: KRW 1 billion), part of the Korea Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) Tour, held at Suning Point Country Club (Par 72) in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province.

All eyes are on Seo Gyolim. She claimed back-to-back titles at the Mediheal·Korea Times Championship on August 16, followed by the BC Card·Hankyung 48th KLPGA Championship in the most recent event. In both tournaments, she outperformed her peer and rival Kim Min-sol, who was also born in 2006, to take first place. Unfortunately, Kim Min-sol will not participate in this event due to a lingering back injury.

This season, Seo Gyolim was the first player to earn four titles. She currently leads in total wins, Grand Prize points (490 points), prize money (KRW 1,286,766,000), and scoring average (70.2779 strokes). A win in this tournament would further solidify her dominance.

If she wins, Seo Gyolim will become only the fourth player in history, following Park Seri, Kim Mi-hyun, and Seo Hee-kyung, to achieve three consecutive weekly victories. She remarked, "Winning my first major title at the previous event made it even more meaningful," adding, "I will strive to maintain this winning momentum at the upcoming tournament as well."
