On the 20th, at South Springs CC in Icheon, Gyeonggi Province (par 72, 6,634 yards), Park surged with a 6-under-par round in the final 4th round of the KLPGA Tour SangSangin·Hankyung WowNet Open (total prize money 1.2 billion KRW) to secure a one-stroke victory (15-under-par 273). This marks her second career win, coming 1 year and 5 months after her first regular tour victory at the Kyochon Ladies Open last May. Her winner's prize money is 216 million KRW.

Starting from a tie for 8th place, 4 strokes behind, Park racked up 7 birdies and 1 bogey. She took the lead by making two separate streaks of three consecutive birdies on holes 6 to 8 and 10 to 12. Then, on the 15th hole (par 4), she sank a 5.5-meter birdie putt to move 2 strokes ahead of the runners-up and seize control of the tournament.

Kim Su-ji reduced her score by 3 strokes to challenge but settled for second place, one stroke behind (14-under-par 274). Ma Da-som finished third (13-under-par 275), while Lee Ga-young and Park Joo-young tied for fourth place (12-under-par 276). Jang Soo-yeon, who was the leader the previous day, lost one stroke and dropped to the group tied for fourth. Yoon Yi-na, who leads in prize money, points for the season, and average score, finished tied for 12th (9-under-par 279). Park Hyun-kyung, who has won three times this year, ended in a tie for 18th place (7-under-par 281).
