The fate of the 2.5m putt.

The final round of the KLPGA Tour The Heaven Masters was held at The Heaven Country Club in Ansan, Gyeonggi Province on the 22nd. Lee Da-yeon, who led at 13 under par until the second round, faced the par-5 18th hole without reducing a single stroke.

But it was okay. Noh Seung-hee finished the game at 13 under par with 6 under par, and there was no player other than herself who had a chance of winning. Buddy would have won. A third shot with 90m left. Lee Da-yeon hit a shot of repentance and put the ball about 2.5m next to the hole cup.




The line didn't look very good. Players have a gut feeling. Judging that Lee Da-yeon had a high chance of winning, she was preparing a water bottle for the ceremony. The same was true of Noh Seung-hee. I was waiting to congratulate Lee Da-yeon.

But what's wrong with this. Perhaps because of nervousness, Lee Da-yeon's putt was pulled. I passed the hole cup. F. That's how the two of them, Lee Da-yeon and Noh Seung-hee at 13-under par, will play overtime.

In the psychological fight, Noh Seung-hee had no choice but to take the lead. Lee Da-yeon's driver tee shot went to the left rough and hit a second shot, and the ball headed to the right rough again. Noh Seung-hee calmly sent the ball to the fairway.

The third shot in the deep rough was not easy. Even the tension suppressed Lee Da-yeon. The contact didn't go right, and it fell into a bunker because it was very short. On the other hand, Noh Seung-hee hit a wedge shot of about 80m safely. Buddy putt with about 6m left.

Unless Lee Da-yeon hits a bunker shot fantastic, it's not an easy match. But Noh Seung-hee definitely finished the game. He put in a birdie putt that was not easy. It was a dramatic upset.

Noh Seung-hee has won three KLPGA titles. With this victory, Noh Seung-hee lifted his first victory in the DB Group's Korean Women's Open last year and his third trophy since the OK Savings Bank Eutman Open in September last year. He became the winner of 180 million won in prize money.




Lee Da-yeon missed her first chance to win in two years since the Hana Financial Group Championship in 2023 due to a failed birdie putt through.
