After earning her maiden KLPGA Tour win at the Deoksin EPC Championship in April last year, Kim Minseon7 secured her third career victory just five months after her win at the Nexen·Saintnine Masters in April of this year. With the winner’s prize of 270 million won, she rose to third place in the prize money rankings (926,554,047 won), Player of the Year points (333 points), and average strokes (70.6912).

Kim Minseon7 started the final round with a one-shot lead, immediately offsetting a bogey at the first hole with a birdie at the second hole (both par 4). She then made pars over the next four holes before charging ahead with consecutive birdies at holes 7 and 8. In the back nine, she further pulled away from competitors by collecting back-to-back birdies at holes 11 and 12. Ranked first in greens in regulation this year (78%), Kim Minseon7 once again demonstrated her precise iron play, hitting 78% greens in regulation during the final round of this tournament.

Lee Sehee surged on the final day with a 6-under-par 66 to secure third place (7-under-par 281). Amateur national team member Yang Yunseo, who competed in the same group as Kim Minseon7 and Jang Eunsu for the title, held her ground for a tied fourth place (6-under-par 282) after failing to reduce her total score. Park Minji also tied for fourth. Hwang Yumin and Japan’s Iwai Jiji finished tied for sixth (5-under-par 283), Awai Aki (Japan) was eighth (4-under-par 284), Yoo Hyeonjo finished ninth (3-under-par 285), and Park Yej i rounded out the top ten (2-under-par 286).
