On the 16th, at the Blue Canyon Country Club (par 72, 6,550 yards) in Phuket, Thailand, Park added 2 under par in the 4th round of the KLPGA Tour Blue Canyon Ladies Championship (total prize money $800,000) to secure a one-stroke victory (16 under par 272). This marks her third career win, five months after the Kyochon 1991 Ladies Open in May 2023 and the SangSangin·Hankyung WowNet Open last October. The winner's prize money is $144,000 (approximately 210 million KRW).

Park started the round tied for the lead by 4 strokes, recording 4 birdies and 2 bogeys. She struggled to lower her score, exchanging 2 birdies and 2 bogeys over 11 holes, but eased her tension with consecutive birdies on holes 12 and 13. She then maintained par on the remaining 5 holes, holding her position at the top of the leaderboard until the end.

Go Ji-woo, who led on the first day, surged with a 7-under-par round to finish as runner-up (15 under par 273). Lee Ga-young performed well in 3rd place (13 under par 275), but Yu Hyun-jo, who was co-leader the previous day, lost 2 strokes and dropped to 4th place (12 under par 276). Li Shuying (China), Ma Da-som, Kim Su-ji, and Hwang Yu-min tied for 5th place (11 under par 277). World No. 14 Yamashita Miyu (Japan) tied for 11th (9 under par 279), defending champion Lee Ye-won tied for 22nd (6 under par 282), and Park Ji-young and Park Hyun-kyung tied for 27th (5 under par 283).
