<Women's Golf> Lee Ye Won wins with an 8m eagle putt on the 18th hole... Shin Ji Ae is tied for 23rd place in her first tournament in her home country in a year

On the 6th, the KLPGA Tour domestic opening round "Doosan E&C We've" was held at BENEST CC in Dongrae-gu, Busan, Korea.
On the final day of the 2018 Korean Open Championship, Lee Ye Won made a dramatic 8-meter eagle putt on the 18th hole to beat Hong Jeong Min by one stroke and take home the championship trophy.
With this, Lee Ye Won will be the first to win the championship at the tournament held in 2022 at Teddyvalley in Jeju, and will also be the first to win the tournament this year, which has now moved to Busan.
This is her second victory in the opening tournament in Korea, following the 2022 Lotte Rent-a-Car Women's Open. With this victory, she added a trophy to her first in 10 months, making it her seventh victory overall.
Lee Ye Won, who won 216 million won in prize money, said, "My goal is to win four or more games this season and become the player with the most Exclusive wins. To achieve this, I need to get my first win soon.
"I felt like I had to win, so I really concentrated. I'm honored to win the opening match in the domestic tournament," she said. Lee Ye, who won the 2023 prize money queen and grand prize, and was the joint most-winner last year (3 wins),
Won has already taken the lead in the title race this season. The final round of the day was the same one where the two players faced off three years ago in the 2022 Doosan Match Play Championship final.
At the time, rookie Lee Ye Won suffered a loss in the final against second-year player Hong Jeong Min, after conceding a walk-off birdie on the 18th hole.
However, this time the result was the complete opposite of three years ago. Lee Ye Won's putt, which she hit with the intention of "getting a birdie," went straight into the cup.
After the match, Lee Ye Won humbly said, "Rather than trying to make it in, I tried to get it close and get a birdie, and luckily it went in."
He also said, "This year, my goal is to win four races and become the most-won Exclusive." At the suggestion of his trainer, Lee Ye Won said that he didn't like misukgal (grain flour) last winter, but he started eating it every day.
By supplementing his protein intake with misukgal and focusing on physical training, Lee Ye Won gained 3kg in weight and muscle mass.
She said she would continue physical training during the training. She was determined not to repeat the problem of her physical condition declining last year. Shin Ji-ae (37), who played in a Korean match for the first time in a year, had three ankles on the same day.
Dar's even total meant he finished tied for 23rd place.
