[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] It is Shin Ji-ae's (33) fourth win of the season.

On the 25th, at the final day of the Daihyo Genta Guiheya Ladies (total prize money 120 million yen) of the Japan Ladies Professional Golf Association (JLPGA) Tour held at Sapporo Takino Golf Club (par 72) in Japan, she added 1 under par to secure a dominant victory by 5 strokes (15 under par 273). This is her second win this year, two months after winning the Nichirei Ladies in June, her fourth win in the 2020/2021 season which is jointly operated with 2020, and her 26th win on the JLPGA Tour. The winner's prize money is 21.6 million yen (225 million KRW).

Shin Ji-ae started with a 2-stroke lead and recorded 4 birdies and 3 bogeys. Although she exchanged 3 birdies and 3 bogeys over 14 holes without reducing her score, the chasing players faltered, allowing her to easily collect the winner's trophy. Her total of 61 wins on professional stages in Korea, the United States, Japan, and Europe is the highest among Korean female golfers. Jeon Mi-jeong (39) and Watanabe Ayaka (Japan) tied for 2nd place (10 under par 278), and Yoon Chae-young (34) tied for 16th place (6 under par 282).
