Park Ji-young, Park Min-ji, and Park Hyun-kyung appeared in the championship group in the fourth round of the Medi Hill and Hankook Ilbo Championship (total prize money of 1 billion won, 180 million won) held at Ferrum Club (par 72, 6,652 yards) in Yeoju, Gyeonggi-do on the 16th.
After finishing the tee shot, Park Min-ji and Park Ji-young took a few steps forward to pose for the reporters. The two players, who are usually close, moved while talking, and Park Ji-young moved slightly to the right ahead of Park Min-ji. Park Ji-young was conscious of photo time.
Sensitive Park Min-ji grabbed Park Ji-young’s jumper waist and pushed Park Ji-young to the center. Park Ji-young didn’t budge either. Park Ji-young saw Park Min-ji’s eyes after a two to three-second war of nerves.
Park Min-ji’s eyes, which are more intense than when she played, turned her steps away, pretending not to be able to beat her. Park Ji-young was born in 1996 and is two years older than Park Min-ji.
At first glance, the two seemed to have a rough physical fight in golf without a physical fight. Park Hyun-kyung, Park Ji-young, and Park Min-ji (from left) took a friendly pose and moved to the second shot.
Park Min-ji tied for third with a final total of 9-under 279 in the fourth round, while Park Ji-young tied for eighth with a final total of 7-under 281 in the fourth round.
Park Min-ji will not participate in the Nexen and St. Nine Masters (total prize money of 800 million won) at Gimhae Gaya Country Club (par 72, 6,818 yards) for three days from the 21st, and Park Ji-young, who won the Hana Financial Group Singapore Women’s Open in December last year, is aiming for her second win of the season. 토토
Meanwhile, Lee Ju-mi, who competed in her 148th tournament at the Medi Hill and Hankook Ilbo Championship (total prize money of KRW 1 billion and prize money of KRW 180 million), won her first championship.
Lee Ju-mi recorded a 4-under 68 with four birdies and a bogey in the final fourth round. Lee Joo-mi, who shot 12-under 276 in total, won her first regular tour title by beating second-place Park Hyun-kyung by two strokes.
Lee Ju-mi, who won her first championship, said, “I never thought I would be back here after an interview at the media center for the first time in the second round. It feels new to sit here again. I thank my parents for their hard work so far. I think I made a small reward. I can’t believe it yet, but it’s really good,” he said.
