Ko Ji -won (21, Samcheon -ri) finally won the first championship in the Korean Women’s Professional Golf (KLPGA) tour. In his hometown, he wrote a new history of winning the first season.

Ko Ji -won hit three under par 69 strokes in the final round of the 12th Jeju Samdasu Masters (1 billion won) held at the Seogwipo Cyprus Golf & Resort (par 72, 6586 yards) in Jeju. The total total 21 under par 267 strokes.

On the last day of the tournament, Ko Ji -won, who started by the leader of the second stroke, won the first championship in the 61st challenge, with the calmness of the strong people such as Roh Seung -hee (24, Yojin Construction) and Yoon -na (22, Solaire). Even if it is expanded to the entire professional, it has been three years and four months since the trophy was lifted in April 2022.

This winner is the second player from Jeju last year after Lim Jin -hee (27, Shinhan Financial Group). In addition to this, the title was added. Following his sister Ko Ji -woo (23, Samcheon -ri), he won the championship this season and set the record for the first time in the KLPGA Tour.

Ko Ji -won, who made his debut in the 2023 tour, failed to keep the seed with 89th in the prize money last year, and this year he began the season with conditional seeds. In the first half of the year, the regular tour was restricted, and only nine of the 17 competitions were played. Jeju Samdasu Masters is the first tournament in the second half and the 10th season. And Koh did not miss the opportunity. The championship also secured a regular tour seed by 2027.

He also ranked 21st (1219 points) by adding 570 points of WeMix Points. With the remaining season of the season, the possibility of the first participation in the ‘We Mix Championship 2025’, which only came to the top 24, also increased. In addition, fans are interested in the championship stage side by side with Ko Ji -woo, who is currently ranked 6th in the WeMix Point Ranking (2252.05 points).

Currently, the top ranking of the WeMix Points ranking is Lee Yewon (2840.84 points), No. 2 Roh Seung -hee (2577.45 points), 3rd Hong Jung -min (2555.03 points), 4th place Yoo Hyun -jo (2487.53 points), and 5th place room (2423.10 points). Roh Seung -hee, who won the runner -up of the tournament, took the second place in the second place by raising the ranking four steps.

Meanwhile, the ‘Lace Two -Mix Championship’ is a system in which the ranking is determined by adding the ranking points and the target points according to the final scores of the KLPGA Tour, and paying the calculated WeMix points and the cumulative point of the season. kmg@sportsseoul.com
