Lee So-mi Finishes Runner-Up, Hull Places 8th, Kim Min-seon 18th
Yoo Ni-na made it into the top 5.
On the 15th, at the Riyadh Golf Club (par 72, 6,803 yards) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, during the final third round of the European Ladies Tour (LET) PIF Saudi Ladies International (total prize money $5 million), she scored 3-under-par 69 to finish tied for 4th place (10-under-par 206). This marked a comeback after missing the cut at last week's LPGA Founders Cup.
Yoo Ni-na started tied for 13th and recorded four birdies and one bogey. Although she began shakily with a bogey on the 2nd hole, she shifted momentum with a birdie on the 5th hole (both par 5s), followed by consecutive birdies on the 7th and 8th holes. In the back nine, she added a crucial birdie on the 17th hole (par 3) to secure a spot among the leaders.
Jinno Titikun (Thailand) shot 3-under to complete a commanding 4-stroke victory (16-under-par 200). This was her fifth LET win since the 2021 VP Bank Swiss Ladies Open, with a winner's prize of $675,000 (approximately 970 million KRW).
Lee So-mi added a 2-under-par 70 to finish as runner-up (12-under-par 204). Ariya Jutanugarn (Thailand) and Chisato Iwai (Japan) tied for 4th place, Charlie Hull (England) tied for 8th (9-under-par 207), and Kim Min-seon finished tied for 18th (6-under-par 210). Lee Dong-eun ended the tournament in 61st place (2-over-par 218).
