Shin, who leads the Genesis points standings on the domestic tour, carded three birdies, one bogey and one double bogey. He also earned a spot in next year’s Genesis Scottish Open, awarded to the top KPGA Tour player in the field.

Kim, currently ranked 14th in the world and the highest-ranked Korean player, has four career PGA Tour wins but has not won a tournament since the Sony Open in January 2023. He began this tournament tied for third after the opening round and remained in contention near the top of the leaderboard, giving him a chance to end his title drought, but he will have to wait for another opportunity to claim victory.

Katsuragawa Yuto of Japan won the tournament. He carded an even-par 71 with one birdie and one bogey to claim victory by two strokes at 13-under 271. It was his second career DP World Tour title, following the 2024 ISPS Handa Championship. He earned $680,000 in prize money (about 900 million won).

Aside from Shin and Kim, the Korean players did not post top finishes. Bae Yongjun tied for 13th at 8-under 276; Lee Sanghee tied for 17th at 7-under 277; Park Eunshin tied for 31st at 3-under 279; Moon Doyeop and Eom Jaewoong tied for 34th at 4-under 280; Jang Yoobin tied for 45th at 2-under 282; and Im Sungjae tied for 54th at even-par 284.
