He won the MASTERS with a total score of 15 under par. Bae Seohyun broke the regular tour course record with a score of 10 under par in the second round, and improved by four strokes in the final round.
She was tied for the lead with a total of 15 under par, but unfortunately missed a 2-meter birdie putt on the final 18th hole, forcing a playoff with Hwang YouMin and Seo WooJin.
Hwang YouMin was eliminated in the first playoff hole at the 18th hole. He and Seo Oh-jin fought a fierce battle until the third hole on a hot summer day with temperatures exceeding 32 degrees, but Bae Seohyun
won the first prize of 180 million won (approximately 19.7 million yen). He also celebrated his victory with a unique ceremony in which he jumped into the golf course pool.
In May of this year, Bae Seohyun experienced the thrill of winning his first championship in his 13 years since debut, and achieved his second victory in three months.
Bae Seohyun (31), who discovered golf in his 30s, said in a video, "I said I definitely wanted to win (my second) championship in the second half of the year, but it happened sooner than I thought."
"I think it's fun to watch players like me," said Bae Seohyun. "I wasn't a player who stood out in my junior days, and even after I became a pro, I was in the lower tour.
"He's a player who's been improving step by step since the early 20s," he said, describing himself as a "late bloomer." He also said, "Everyone has difficult times.
There are people like me who don't show their talents right from the beginning, but gradually produce results.
"I hope that people will have hope when they see me," she said. With this year's victory, Bae Seohyun has secured a regular tour seed for the next two years. "One victory is one victory, and it's one season.
"I think it's important to continue building that foundation. I don't want to rest on my laurels and I want to work even harder so that I can take part in overseas competitions," she said enthusiastically.
