Hwang Yoo-min, who tied for first place in the final round with Seo-jin until the second round, cut two shots with four birdies and two bogeys, playing overtime with Lim Hee-jung and Lee Dong-eun. Lim Hee-jung and Lee Dong-eun tied for 10th, three shots behind the lead until the second round, but they joined the overtime by reducing five shots side by side.

In both the first and second extra innings on the 18th hole, he recorded par and couldn't decide the game.

In the third extension, which changed the pin position in the chilly weather and pulled the tee shot position forward, Lee Dong-eun first took the opportunity to win. He left a birdie putt with a short distance of 2 meters, but failed. Lim Hee-jung failed to make a short par putt of 1m and was eliminated. In the fourth extension, Lee Dong-eun missed a birdie putt of about 8m, followed by Hwang Yoo-min calmly making a 6.4m birdie putt to end the long game.




Hwang Yoo-min, who participated in the broadcast interview with his colleagues' congratulatory water washing, said "I thought it would be nice to play without being nervous, but I think I hit it well by focusing on the process from the beginning."The shot was not good until the 8th hole (par 5), and the putting was not sure in the chance, but the success of the long birdie (about 14m) putt changed the atmosphere. It was a crisis because of the difficulty of Lai, but I was lucky to go in and I was able to hit it in the second"The result was reinstated.

He had difficulty controlling the distance of his second shot in overtime in the cold weather, and he played a long club in the first, second and third holes of overtime, and the ball condition was vaguely difficult.
