Park Ji-young, who reached the top in the opening match of the 2023 season of the Korean Women’s Professional Golf (KLPGA) Tour, took the opportunity to ‘defend the title’. Moreover, he deserves to be greedy as he can be named as the first winner of the season.
In the 3rd round of the Mediheal Hankook Ilbo Championship (total prize money of 1 billion won) held at the Ferrum Club (par 72) in Yeoju, Gyeonggi-do on the 15th, Park Ji-young hit a 3 under par 69 with 4 birdies and 1 bogey.
Park Ji-young, who recorded an interim total of 10 under par 206 strokes, raised the ranking from a tie for third place the previous day to the sole leader.
The road to victory is expected. Park Min-ji, who is challenging for three consecutive wins in prize money, and Park Hyeon-gyeong, who has both skills as an ‘ardent fan’, will pursue a chase for second place by one stroke.
Park Ji-young won her 5th championship at the Hana Financial Group Singapore Women’s Open, her 2023 season opener held in Singapore last December.
If she wins this tournament, she will be listed as the winner of her 6th career and her first multi-winner of the season. Last week at her domestic opening event, the Lotte Rent-A-Car Women’s Open, she finished runner-up.
Park Ji-young said,메이저사이트 “I had a lot of unfortunate putts because of the rain, but I want to play without regrets tomorrow.”
Park Ji-young, in the same group as Park Min-ji and Park Hyun-kyung, will start from the 1st hole at 10:20 am on the 16th and have a shot match.
Lee Joo-mi, who was the sole leader in the second round, tied for 4th with a total of 8 under par and 208 strokes with “Rookie” Min-byeol Kim. She is two strokes behind the lead, so her come-from-behind win is to be expected.
