I met him in the fourth round with the best performance of the season
Han Ji-won and Park Do-eun were seen in the tee box in the fourth round of the KB Financial Star Championship (total prize money of 1.2 billion won, winning prize money of 216 million won) held at the Blackstone Icheon Golf Club (par 72 preliminary rounds of 6,689 yards and finals of 6,668 yards) in Gyeonggi Province on the 10th.
Han Ji-won and Park Do-eun were in the group just ahead of the championship group, finishing fifth and tied for sixth with two over par 218 and four over par 220, respectively, until the third round. The two, who met in the last four rounds as they recorded their best performance of the season as members of the same yellow chicken golf team, seemed like solid comrades.
On top of that, the letters of the “Yellow Tongdak” golf team written on a yellow top and hat of the same tone made the two even stronger. The Yellow Chicken Golf Club founded the largest golf team in Korea in 2021, consisting of 18 KLPGA players. Professional Oh Se-wook, who served as coach for the women’s national team at the 2002 Busan Asian Games, is taking the position of golf team leader.
Han Ji-won, who joined the KLPGA in 2019, made her first debut on the regular tour in 2023 and participated in 22 competitions and passed the cut 15 times, recording a mid-range performance. As of the 19th, it ranks 67th in the prize money rankings with 103,644,429 won.
Park Do-eun, who joined the KLPGA in 2016, has been steadily showing up, participating in 23 tournaments and passing the 13th cut after receiving a regular tour seed in 2023. As of the 19th, it ranks 56th in the prize money rankings with 123,956,667 won.
Starting from the fourth round in a friendly atmosphere, Park Do-eun tied for fifth with Hwang Jung-mi and Lee Da-yeon with a 3-over par 291 overall. Han Ji-won tied for 11th with Park Min-ji and Park Chae-yoon with a 7-over par 295 overall.
Meanwhile, Park Ji-young has become a major queen. Park Ji-young tied two birdies and one bogey in the final fourth round of the tournament at Blackstone Icheon Golf Club (par 72) in Icheon, Gyeonggi Province on the 10th to record a 1-under 71.
With a total of 2-under 286, he topped the joint second-place group Kim Min-byeol (19, Hite Jinro), Lee Ga-young (24, NH Investment & Securities), and Lee Ye-won (20, KB Financial Group, 1 over par 289).
Park Ji-young, who won her first victory of the season at the Hana Financial Group Singapore Open in Singapore in December last year, won her second victory at the Ever Collagen The Siena Queen’s Crown in July, and won three games with this tournament.
Park was the only under par player in the final round.
