Lee Ye-won won the only match play competition on the KLPGA Tour, the first day of the Doosan Match Play Group.
Lee Ye-won easily won against Seo Yeon-jeong by three holes in the first group match on the first day of the tournament at Radena Country Club in Chuncheon, Gangwon-do on the 14th.
Lee Ye-won, who was placed in Group 7 with Choi Ga-bin, Hong Hyun-ji, and Seo Yeon-jeong, increased the possibility of passing the group stage with his victory. Lee Ye-won, who has already won two games this season and started leading the competition for prize money and points, can achieve three wins this season and two consecutive weeks if she wins this competition. Lee Ye-won lost to Park Hyun-kyung of the tournament last year and remained in second place.
On the contrary, defending champion Park Hyun-kyung got off to a shaky start. Park Hyun-kyung, who was grouped with Lee Dong-eun, Cho Hye-rim and Park Gyeol, played against Park Gyeol in the first round, but ended up in a draw. Park Gyeol scored a golden birdie on the last 18th hole, one hole behind, winning 0.5 points from the draw.
Park Min-ji, the 2021 winner of the tournament, won the first match against Hong Ji-won by a landslide by four holes. Veteran Ahn Sun-joo also beat Kim Woo-jung by four holes. Kim So-yi caused a stir last season to beat Bae So-hyun, the joint king of multiple wins.
