I wondered if I couldn't overcome the last pressure. But stars demonstrate their abilities when they really matter. It was a match that showed why Kim Min-sol is recognized as the best prospect in women's golf.
Kim Min-sol (19) won her first KLPGA Tour victory. Kim Min-sol won the final round of the BC Card and Hankyung Ladies Cup held at Pocheon Hills Country Club in Pocheon-si, Gyeonggi-do on the 24th with a total of 19 under par.
Kim Min-sol turned professional last year after playing as an ace for the national team, and was considered a promising player who will shake the game, but was sluggish in the seed match and went on a knife in this year's second wife Dream Tour. With four wins on the Dream Tour, he virtually confirmed that he will join the regular tour next year, and hit a 'big accident' as a recommended player for this tournament. With this victory, he will receive 270 million won in prize money, and he will be able to end his dream tour life.
If you say 19 under par, wire-to-wire win, you can think you won very easily. But never.
He took the lead with a fantastic performance in the first and second rounds. He added 10 under par in the first round and 6 under par in the second round. However, he was sluggish with even par in the third round, giving up a joint lead to Noh Seung-hee and Lee Da-yeon.
The final round was also a thorny road. He failed to reduce the number of pars with one birdie and one bogey in the first half. The competitors took the lead, and Hong Jung-min, who drove 8 under par on the day, came up.
He seemed to be moving away from the championship by playing one over par until the 15th hole. However, he changed the mood by making a birdie at the par-3 16th hole. And with birdies on the 17th hole in a row, it became 17-under par.
The last easy par-5 hole. With Hong Jung-min finishing at 17-under, the last three groups, Kim Min-sol, Lee Da-yeon and Noh Seung-hee, all entered the final hole at 17-under.
A par-5 hole with two temperatures. Noh Seung-hee even sent the beginning of the second shot. Lee Da-yeon succeeded in two temperatures with a shot of repentance. a sufficient distance for writing. Kim Min-sol had the most driving distance, but there was a ball in the rough. However, he took the same eagle chance even though the distance was long with a clever game of floating the ballistics, calculating the run and dropping it in front of the green.
Last 10.5m eagle putt. Kim Min-sol's ball was sucked into the hole cup while riding a little slice ry. Perhaps because he is a young player who is not yet experienced, he cannot even like it openly and looks stunned.
I had to wait for Lee Da-yeon's putt. Lee Da-yeon's last match putt. The direction was correct. But the ball was a little strong, so it went by in the hole cup. That's how Kim Min-sol's victory was confirmed. When my sisters gave me a congratulatory water shower, it was then that tears burst out.
Noh Seung-hee, who birdied with three-on, took second place alone at 18 under par. Lee Da-yeon, who failed to overcome the shock of the eagle putt, failed to make a short-distance birdie putt and fell to a tie for third place with Hong Jung-min.
Meanwhile, Park Min-ji recorded her first hole-in-one since her tour debut on the 6th hole.
