‘No.1 in average strokes’ Park Ji-young secures her 2nd victory.

On the 16th, Park Ji-young added 2 under par in the 4th round of the KLPGA Tour Ever Collagen·The Siena Queens Crown (total prize money 800 million KRW) held at The Siena Country Club in Jeju City, Jeju Island (par 72, 6,470 yards), finishing with a 2-stroke victory (18 under par 270). This is her 2nd win of the season and 6th career win, coming 7 months after her victory at the Hana Financial Group Singapore Ladies Open last December. She earned 144 million KRW in prize money, rising to 1st place in the money rankings (634.57 million KRW). She also leads the points for the Player of the Year award (326 points).

Starting with a 2-stroke lead, Park Ji-young made 3 birdies (1 bogey). She added birdies on holes 2, 4, and 6 to pull away from her competitors. Although she made a bogey on the 7th hole (par 4), it did not affect her victory. Despite the rainy and harsh conditions, she managed to par the remaining 11 holes and maintained her top position. Park Ji-young, Rookie of the Year in 2015, has steadily accumulated wins since her first career victory at the 2016 S-OIL Champions International.

Lee Seung-yeon lowered her score by 2 strokes but settled for 2nd place (16 under par 272). Park Gyeol shot 5 under par to jump to 3rd place (15 under par 273). Son Ye-bin also surged with an 8 under par round, moving up to 4th place (14 under par 274). Lee So-mi, Ma Da-som, and Choi Ye-rim tied for 5th place (13 under par 275), Lotte Rent-a-Car Ladies Open winner Lee Ye-won finished 8th (12 under par 276), and ‘Match Queen’ Sung Yoo-jin ended the tournament tied for 12th place (10 under par 278). The KLPGA Tour will take a two-week break and resume on the 3rd of next month with the Jeju Samdasoo Masters.
