the simplest of Birdie conversions i’ likely to go back to back wins on the kpj putting in a nice showing here at the first major championship of the year five Majors on the kpga tour it’s the klpga championship then we head to the Korea women’s open at Rainbow Hills in June and to pop over to the Hana classic at j palace KB Financial Group star championship in Inon and rounding things off at Blue Heron at the height jinro now probably the only player on tour these days who can give binil a run for her money as far as distance off the tea goes won a rookie season at the ever Colligan Queen’s Crown before handed a suspension for a cheating incident at the Korean women’s open later that year an incident that only came to light after she parted ways with her first caddy played the wrong ball out of the rough at Rainbow Hills never corrected the error never assessed herself the penalty some people will say it’s a little bit too harsh yina one of the bright stars of the rookie class of 2021 but she’s back on tour and doesn’t look like she’s missed a beat now park mini the living legend as she’s known out here in the kpj to 18 time winner onto her but she’s never won the klpga championship maybe just couple of feet short from taking that slope down down that towards the pin it’s springtime in Korea but this is the Autumn Queen Kim suji most of her victories coming in the second half of the year you can hear How firm these greens are getting at Lakewood quite like pitching on a pingpong table but you do have to factor that into your calculations big first hop usually a bit of release as well as they continue to dry out under these abnormally warm conditions for this time of the year now Yuni great iron player it’s only a nine iron in can land this front right of the green just have it funnel into that pin she taking looking it straight at it that’s pretty good up ahead after laying up with her second shot this is Park G young into the 11th she is just so good with the short irons terrific Club face control and she’ll have a birdie look to potentially break out of that tie for fourth place she currently finds herself in with Troy Mong and Kim suji on the her major title in inan last year at the KP Financial Group star Championship or Watershed year for p g young second on the money list Leo one and on the points list as well it’s all about the lady in Black right there Le Jung men 32 years of age player who carries a wealth of experience into this final round with her she’s not going to be intimidated by this moment she’s won 10 times on the KP Jor but never one of the big five she’s one in China she’s one in Vietnam this would certainly be a career defining Victory should she go on to convert it people may say that she’s over the hill at the age of 32 but how can you say that about someone who’s a 10 time winner and still playing some fantastic golf she leads by six with nine to play if she keeps that up she’s got one hand on the trophy [Music] already we’ve seen bin Sil do some spectacular things if this club behaves for her today she can craft some opportunities on this back nine she’ll need to take pretty much all of them and still need some help from Le Jung Min just going to creep into the first cut of rough but shouldn’t be too much of a [Music] bother so you know doesn’t have to come over the bunker like so many players being this far up so you can see the general camber of this green runs from her left to right so got to pitch this just a little short left see right there took a big kick to the right first it’s always a bit awkward those left to right puts for right-handed golfers still it’s going to be a a look at birdie to the hard charging janang can she keep the birdie run going this is a look at the power 4 14th long range effort coming downhill tracking nicely oh and would you believe it she’s got another one she’s nine underpar for this final fin round course record here a 60 set by J Lee 6 a couple of years ago already seen a 64 from unina this week in a 62 from Le J Min yesterday Jang four holes to play already at nine under here is Ena got to start this one at least a ball outside left Edge really wants to turn hard go nicely hold well read positively struck Ena get herself to Red figures for this final round at Double bogy 88 really proving costly it was a brilliant third but still we’ve seen the amount of break around the cup here at 11 Park G was going to have to shout this one at least outside right Edge always a little awkward when you’re playing these sort of shorter parts and you have to start it outside the hole particularly when you’re coming downhill takes so much trust in your ability to control the speed of that golf ball off the putter face because just a little firm or a little indecision so easy to power this ball through the break head scratcher there young now Yuni back at 10 to get it to 13 under it’ll tumble in for Jong yunji let get the sense that they’re playing for second place right now in that battle Yi takes a step closer to Bangin Hill Le J young men riding off into the distance with that six shot cushion now Ley poem this left to right slider had an awful run towards the end of her front nine yesterday going four over par in a three-hole stretch including a double bogey at the seventh but she rallied with a back nine four under paath 32 to get herself into this penultimate group hasn’t been able to make too much happen today though although that’s a good start should move into red figures for the first time today that’s a birdie at 10 back inside the top 10 goes Ley poem jump up to 11 and the third shot of Choy and woo should be a n99 of sorts from 121 to this raised green wipes it a little wide right but as far as places to miss this green at 11 goes that’s not the worst should so it’s got to feed it’s got to feed off that slope pretty good shot remember she absolutely chunk a N9 into this hole yesterday leading to one of two Drop shots Keen to make amends today but these young men definitely in the driver’s seat right now absolutely pure iron Striker no tension whatsoever in that golf swing this one’s leaking a little left a little long as well it does happen sometimes just get a little steep into the ball Club face shuts down turns over left and Carries another 5 10 yards now rosui up at 11 suji saw that t- shot just through the back of the green at the par 312 pretty standard little Chip Shot one she can be aggressive with [Music] [Applause] probably the longest look that LE J young men has had for birdie this Sunday afternoon looks to be some 45 50 ft about just getting the pace right here generally should to move off her left in the last third of this part will be coming uphill at the end so she has bit of a free run to give this some pace bang on with her piece there just goes wandering on a little bit but all in all fairly decent effort fourth shot at 11 for Cho and wo gave it a nice run but that’s going to be a solid part now Pak J young at the 12 we saw from Kim suji’s t-shot How firm this scen has become definitely need to land it 10 15 ft short of the hole and pre for a soft [Music] bounce not bad not bad at all for Park [Music] bin Sil has a look to try and trim a shot off that six shot advantage of these young men Ben jumin still with a little bit of work to do for PA herself and let’s be honest she’s not one of the most solid from inside six feed on the klpga to so this could just put a little bit of pressure on your leader will certainly give punin still some momentum going into the par five 11th the hole she can reach into with her power [Music] oh it would have looked so good for so long a great try not to be for bunk to the hottest woman on the golf course J third shot to the PA 15th should expect this one to Fizz in pretty close only 75 M left Fizz it into about 6 feet that to go 10 under for Sunday well you’ve got that big lead but we’ve seen crazy things happen in the world of golf they can evaporate quickly particularly if this club starts to go ice cold can’t afford to take your foot off the gas pedal one bit this fora now for Le Min right it to left putt oo and that’s her the first bogey since the 17th hole on Friday he was 16 under par for her last 27 holes but she’s going to just slide back a shot H young ahead at 12 for a birdie just a little pacy there so shinil is going to gain a shot on the leader with just a par here at 10 [Music] downhill look at a birdie on the 11th now y Ena for back to back birdies a look here here at the 12th just a fraction High all the way went off and played the LPGA tours Q series after her suspension on the klpga tour SP a bit of time in America but that suspension lifted now back home amongst to former colleagues you left rough here on 11 not going to get quite as much spin as she would usually like coming in to this screen although that one threw out an anchor pretty quick Park n peak of her powers there’s no one better from inside 120 M than this young lady 64 in here sometimes laying it up too close in a bar five not always the best play play those fely half wed shots can’t get quite as much spin on it now good t- shot here shinil could definitely reach in two might even be with a hybrid really probably my favorite golf swing of any player in the kpj tour right now wide Arc good lower body Drive looked a little late but maybe saved it at the bottom of the swing with her hands and that’s an excellent t-shot for p Shin s sui hanging live coming into 13 ball below her feet and today on this hole in the left corner of the green that should just stick on the second level of this green in I think this is experience right here yeah you’ve just dropped your first shot in how many holes is that 29 holes we can’t reach into there’s no point in hitting driver let’s just get this one in play great iron player she’ll certainly fancy her chances to create a birdie look just take the big miss out of play chiper three-wood down there [Applause] to take it 10 Deep through 15 holes on championship Sunday j e at the 15th she is certainly feeling it right now J maybe starting the final round a touch too far back but she’ll have her eye in to post the number in the clubhouse and see what Le young men and bang shinil can do terrific display of golf in the fin final round for Jan S now Jung Yun G coming downhill here for birdie at 11 just want to see these puts get to the hall with a bit of pace shortened the Jaws but soly had the line suji putting across the top of this fall [Music] line good effort there Park mini for birdie at 11 just second guessing the line there hardly ever see Mii back off puts especially when she started that routine just watch that left hand sort of square up her right shoulder pulls the trigger it’s a bit of tricky read that one we saw Park G young Miss a little tidler that me’s going to do the same three-wood off the tea Fairway found it’s going to be a a hybrid now to lay up for Lee jungman for that brilliant hole in one yesterday on 70 not the only time hold out this week if you recall she HED out on the 11th for an eagle 3 on Friday now we know what the body language is like really wish we knew where that ball was for Le young men but safety assume it can’t be too far off the straight and narrow now up to 12 and Rose yungui well the car’s gone that was the whole in one prize on the 17th but the massage CH still very much up for grabs back right pin today 79 a popular choice of Club Define shot there from bro so a bit of work left in this one for Mii there’s that routine squaring up the shoulder okay okay well done already dropped two shots today so the runway is clear for Bang Shin so with a back pin here as long as she can carry that nest of bunkers just short of the green should expect this one to chase on towards the back edge of the pting surface at the TV tower that’s her line uh-oh a little quick is she going to get away with it cart path oh but that’s going to come off the slope here it comes we’ve seen that a couple of times yesterday from bang shinil she’s got some breaks but she H some loose ones still in play for Bank look at this again maybe just a little quick and snatchy it was turning left in a hurry off the cart path I mean that could so easily have taken a straight left kick and wedged itself up against some of those trees but fortunately catch some of that dried out grass and runs down that slope things were going sideways for a minute there but no harm done Jung’s lead stretch to six at one point it’s just a five now Journey getting the cors of light she’s 10 Deep with three to play here in the final round of the klpga championship e e for for for for for ah so this is where the ball of your Championship leaders ended up on 11 just sitting in that left rough but shouldn’t really be too much of a bother can look out to the left of the PIN after that solid t- shot into 12 now has this for birdie [Music] for R now PP G young almost got to pitch this one on the left edge of the green just have it try to kick right towards this pin but you must get it on that upper tier of the putting surface L this one out to the right that’s going to be on the bottom level of the green so should until after that forus break off the left slope going to get relief from the cart path the advantage that trees’s got playing in springtime in South Korea is that rough that can be rather juicy in the Summer and Autumn months of the year it’s a little spar right now not too much fre friction or interference between Club face and ball they’re going to go work out that drop as we go up to the red hot J Sun second shot into the power 4 16th coming up the hill all the way back today she is showing no signs of slowing down that’s a solid shot so lots of room to work with here can’t choose to fly it most of the way or play a slightly lower shot and just have it Chase that needs to gather speed that needs to gather speed just a little tentative she’s going to be putting first for birdy with lead a lead Jung mint into about 12 ft go up to the closing hole par 48th and a birdie look here [Music] was six under pass standing on the 16th team before taking a bogey but still a nice final round for H sujji nicely played into 14 for Kim So shinel such a momentum game golf did a good putt back at 10 this is a bit longer than she would have liked at 11 but it is for birdie to temporarily cut into that lead of Le J Min and if you’re a player with the power of this 19yearold can’t afford to be not birding par fives especially from the middle of the Fairway with only a hybrid in hand Jung Jeep try to carve a high cut into this pin that’s the way to get it close on [Music] 12 something just like that one of the best we’ve seen into the 12 well played from Jung je ansen J multiple time winner on the jpj tour seven time champion on the klpga tour then H we at 10 underp nicely done for the lady effectually known as Big Mama former Korean women’s open Champion so to return her advantage to six Leong mint with a left to right slider for a birdie at 11 gosh never seen her do that before we know about the stutter start to the back stroke but back swing well it’s been well documented the trouble she’s had with the flat stick that her imp serious ball striking and control of that pellet this week has afforded her the luxury of not having to make everything she’s looked at now this to keep the Run going janang at 16 got a chance a great effort for jnan going to be a par with two holes to play [Music] here darbin for a par in a round of 67 for bogey excuse me around to 68 [Music] be a little disappointed with the Finish dropping two in her last three a solid week for H Kimu G at 14 after that lovely approach it’s again coming downhill moving from left to right to swing that hard unfortunately for Kim suji now it’s going to be slow coming up the rise for p young at the 13th bang in the middle for Park G Young from downtown at 13 sixth birdie of the day moves her into solo fourth at 14 under really is a remarkable picture of consistency she’s always there or thereabouts in the last 18 months Jong Yun G follow up that nicely played t-shot with a birdie here at 12 no she can’t last year’s Rookie of the Year Kim minb for eagle at 15 an eagle to follow her birdie at 14 and all of a sudden she gets herself inside the top five hardly seen anything from Kim in B this week we’ve seen her now she’s at 13 under par year one having a much better final round she’s coming towards the end of it finishing on the front side of the golf course last year’s Player of the Year winner of the money list and the points list it’s going to be a a bogey five to end her day and 68 to close for Leo one now shinel with the honor on the 12T that speed creates plenty of height on these iron shots so a really useful tool to have in the bag the green start firming up like they are here Ros young flirted with the penalty area off the te but that Ball’s okay she could flight this one Low Land it in that front portion of the green have it Chase up like that just a bit of a firm first bounce but good smart shot there from rope a 17 j s just wants to post a number in the clubhouse that’s another excellent t-shots going to go trickling on another couple of feet doesn’t have to go at this flag and look a little bit left she has such good control with her Ryan massive advantage in the game of golf all coach used to say tell a good player about how good an iron player they [Music] are often have the golfers that hit it long way who have good short games and make a bunch of putts but it’s the solid iron players who really separate themselves and at the moment Le jman has separated herself from the field here at the kpga championship she leads by five into the back nine on Sunday afternoon at Lakewood they e for for spe for for for have shinil left to rer for birdie at 12 and the putts have dried up for shinil who really looked in such fine control of this Championship Midway through the third round bogey free through 36 holes had a three- shot lead at one point yesterday now finds herself six five shots a drift she’s been supplanted by JN s cuz this a couple moments ago was to get to 11 underpar for this Final Round And that birdie moved janang into solo second place she’s one away from the clubhouse and one away from equaling the course record here at Lakewood not that it’s going to bother Le J young Min too much still very much in control of the tournament with a birdie look up coming at 12 and this is the sort of range where pter tends to FL a little bit Freer for Lee sted start there frustratingly close to a seventh birdie of the day lengthy one for a birdie but a good roll [Music] so her 58th shot of the day comes at the 18th T the JN e son Shin Sil now at 13 pulled it well left off this te yesterday there trouble on the right leads the field in driving distance to no one’s surprise don’t think we’ve seen anyone that far down this Par Four this week it’s another enormous te- ball from Bangin s Jung again going with a three-wood again finding the Fairway head on the green Jung Yun G with this uphill look at a birdie 3 half the distance that PK Chi young hold it [Music] from again just a little shy with the pace so an 11th birdie of the day has cut the lead of Le Jung men to just four with j s staring down the 18th hole for perhaps a share of the course record but it’s still Le young men’s championship to lose here at Lakewood for for for for e e for I haven’t seen too much of Choy min kyong today the Forgotten third player in this final group she’s back at one over par for her round and 12 under for the tournament after a drop shot at 12 this is second into the 13th she’s going to need a couple more of those now just cleaning on to a share of eight alongside Kim minan 7 now Kimu G the opportunity nicely done at the par five 15th for suji she’s five under the card for this final round Le young in all below her feet goes against a natural draw shot shape she has been doing that with great regularity all throughout the week another fine iron shot and another lovely birdie opportunity upcoming well I suppose you could say this is for a 59 there’ be some way to do it J Sun 11d this Sunday second shot into the final hole pin just in that middle right portion of the green just left of that TV tower you can see peeking out of the grand stands we’ve never had a 59 on tour and we were about 2 ft away from one this week such a nice feeling when you’re in that state of flow you’re playing golf as freely and as wonderfully as Jour S is doing she’s going to have that for a course record equaling 60 as bang shinil looks to take advantage of a big drive at 13 and oh goodness for the second time this weekend that’s just a straight up Chunk from shinil just not good enough not when you’re trying to hunt down Le J young Min now Kim minol she’s gone birdie 14 Eagle 15 is for a birdie at 16 course you have to say she’s too far back with only two holes to play but there’s a good chunk of change up for grabs this week out of that 1.3 billion Korean one prize purse lots of kpg points up for grabs as well for last year’s Rookie of the Year she’s gone four underp in her last three holes she’s six under for the day and Kim inol has it to 14 under in a share of fourth with Pac G young and Kim Su G Bangin s these can get awkward do you want to play it low try and run it up or do you want to try and fly it past that slope she got a lofted club in pretty big practice swings yeah landed it short maybe caught in between two mines there and that’s one thing about bang shinil for all her length off the tea she is a little untidy around the green sometimes well come on you son roll it in to equal the lowest round ever recorded on the klpga tour 11 under for her final round this for an inward half of 30 and a round of 60 on a major championship Sunday no less what a Sunday to remember for Jan S out in 29 home in 31 she matches the course record here at Lakewood 19 underpar the Target in the clubhouse in a week of low scoring here at the klpga championship JN equals the lowest round ever recorded on the klpga tour Simply Fabulous stuff and now we wait of course Le young men will be blissfully unaware of that terrific performance from Yung pin Sil first to put for par and unfortunately she’s seeing her name slide down that leaderboard first bogey of the day back to where she began Sunday 16 underp when she Pops that one in now Pak G young third into the par 5 15th one hop and stop couldn’t have played that one any better Le young Min won’t know it but her lead’s only three got to stay positive on this one got to attack this punt it’s a good look coming up the hill she leads the field in birdies this week but they’ve d right up for her on this back nine not many would have predicted that the charge this Sunday would have come from Jang at a closing round of 60 the 23-year-old onetime winner on the klpga tour finish fourth in Singapore to start the year has it missed a cut yet she will record her best ever finish at a major championship at the klpga tour C to see of a history making round of 60 to close here at Lakewood just goes to the depth of Talent on display week in week out on the kpga tour they’re not afraid to make birdies these girls unfortunately birdies have been hard to come by for bang shinil that’s a drop shot at 13 stays in Solo third she is a whopping six shots behind lead young men and now three behind jny s in second place CH Min kyung to get back to even for this final round yeah well [Music] done the procession moves along to the t- box at the bar 414th with Le J young Min still leading by three and’s Target in the clubhouse still seeking that first win on the kpj T 31y old been approved for still over a dozen years now this will give us some confidence after coming off back-to-back miscuts at the Ducan weave championship and the med heal hanu kilbo Championship to come runner up in puket at the Blue Canyon ladies Championship back in March she’s running inside the top 10 at the season opening major joh got driver out here just has to avoid the water down the left for this t-shot just a little cautious with that t- shot and understand understandably so Shin with the big stick lost this t-shot right yesterday don’t think that’s going to be the case today w a bit of an awkward one for un Ina’s third into the PA five 15th got that ball well outside her back foot just trying to Scuttle one in low have it catch this slope [Music] now much of the Delight of The Gallery at the back of this screen Nina’s going to get up and down for a birdie four with relative ease Kim suji now putting up the rise at the 16th it’s going to be slow got to be positive with your pace here little too positive there for Kim suji still be like to see that giv these puts a run got to stay aggressive m not much going right for her today well that’ll make her feel a little bit better nice birdie there for darom recovers the shot she just gave away at 14 sneaks herself back inside the top 10 p young to add a seventh birdie to her scorecard well let’s one slip away at 11 she’s not going to make the same mistake twice nicely done for Park G young up to 15 underp and yina to tidy things up for her birdie this would get her inside the top 10 [Music] so just got to be wary of a fly alive from this right rough Le Jong mint 129 left can pitch this around 125 carried it all the way there and that’s that jumpy Li was talking about going to just Nestle into that back collar of rough still not going to be the trickiest up and down in the world join in K this all above feet line should set up nicely to try and access this left pin for shinil no choice but to take dead aim at this point it’s 101 left not bad but not brilliant either from B Kim suji and the comeback of haa tried it tried to hang on but unfortunately it’s going to be a three-pot bogy for Kim suji well the chasing pack had to produce something special to try and pressure Leong Min J has certainly delivered a course record equaling 12 under pass 60 on Sunday leaves are in the clubhouse at 19 underp power with jungman still having five holes to play for e for for for for e for well this is a surprising Club choice for Le young men electing to putt it out of the rough on 14 that ble sitting down a bit so it’s going to come out a Top Spin just going to pop the putter on the back of this and have it tumbling out I tell you what she’s done well she’s done very well she knew what she was doing with that club Choice it’s another pass secured three clear four holes to play including a par five 15th is the wait for a major title coming to an end for Lee jungman in control of the 46th klpga champion ship now we missed it on the broadcast but Kim mbol did Birdie the 17th so she’s five under her last four holes as she plays the last currently up in a share of fourth with Park G young and that would be some way to finish for last year’s Rookie of the Year she’s got that left for a 64 now somewhere lost in the shuffle has been bin s today just never looked like that was going to ever get to the halt it’s been a bit of a lonely race for shinil started the day one back young men vanish into the distance with six front line birdies bin still treading water at even P unable to get any sort of momentum going momentum she found so easy to build through the first 36 holes Rong opportunity to pick up a shot here at the bar five 15th so try M Kong back to back birdies here on [Music] 14 no she can’t looks like hang yo mint current money list leader playing her final hole of the day the par 4 9th flirted a bit with the cut line on day two but she’s had a solid weekend and she’ll have that left for a birdie p g young get into the 16th year needs to make sure she gets it on that back Plateau she’s certainly done that she’s done more than that what a shot from bark G young there are birdies everywhere you look at Lakewood this week not only on Sunday we’ve seen some great scoring in this kpga championship and Kim in ball has this for what would be a stunning finish roberie to end her week at 16 under par that’s a 64 for Kim inol 6 under in her last five for an inward half of 30 runner up in last year’s Korean women’s open she’s going to have a top five finish here at the 46th K LPGA Championship to start 2024 what a talent she is now Yun Ena second into the 16th gets that one to back up quickly and it’s even better than p g young so couple of birdies up coming on the 16th for the pair of them Jan at the 15th downhill T shot at this par five on a little left but not going to be a bother little bit further down the Fairway we find Jong Yu G set to play her third seen a lot of players stick it in close to this pin that’s cut in a bit of a bowl on the right hand side of this [Music] green terrific shot there from Jung Yun G what with the exception of Le J min stretching that lead with that brilliant front nine it’s been a captivating contest in this mountain nine at Lakewood shinil crunches another t- shot well down the fair wi as long as that stays in the Short Grass yeah she’ll certainly have a cracking too not much going right for Park mini in the penultimate group this is her third shot to the 15th that’s nicely played how good are those two shots into 16 for p young and Y Ena who will collect backto back birdies to 12 and Par now hango Min to end her week at 10 under not this time she is going to produce a a solid final round effort here two time tour winner 66 to close top 20 finish hang yo Min pong for a three at 16 to a share of third with Kim M Bol just a layup then for your championship leader at the 15th is the luxury of not needing to force the issue here pars will do for Le Jung men now Parkman G up on the green for birdie to get it back to 11 under just like a little conviction justing iron left to the green for bang shinil wasting no time here just clears the penalty area and if that settles down might catch that slope yeah here it comes here it comes that’s going to eek its way a little bit closer to that right pin for bang you could do with an eagle now young has found herself up into a share of third place eight birdies today seven under the card SE a couple birdies on the 17th already today it’s a good safe shot to the middle of the pting surface for p g [Music] young of course that beautiful electric SUV from Mercedes the eqb won by Le young Min yesterday with an ace on route to that 62 I don’t have more than one car available so if unina does happen to slam it in the bottom of the cup here seems I’m going to be driving off with a a brand new car from mercedesbenz it’s a pretty solid ball Striker week fifth of that greens and regulation stat you can see on the top left of your screen leing like she’s pushed that a [Music] bit but you get a nice kick so that’s the approach that faces Le young Min into the 15th it’s B of a funnel pin on the front right corner of the screen she’s displayed wonderful wedge control throughout her career and certainly throughout the course of this Championship watch how soft her arms are all throughout the swing no sign of tension whatsoever he turns aggressively accelerates through the ball a fine shot there from Jung Min been in this position many times in her career trying to close out championships on Sunday afternoon never done it at a major she’s still hot favorite to seal the deal this week now Yuni at the 16th [Music] get for here spe just 19 years old and already 2 kpga titles top five finish at this tournament last year played in the final group on Sunday with eventual winner malion this now for Eagle for Bangin just wers low not going to be the easiest of birdies for [Music] shinil more importantly she is going to break out of that three-way tie for third assume a position on her [Music] own of course just as she’s done that Park G young has this opportunity to join her at 17 underpar if this drops for a third birdie in a row good view from down the line and what she faces here certainly going to be uphill in the last couple of feet but the general movement of this part will be from her left [Music] [Music] would you believe it another one for PK gong three on the spin back into a sharei of third with bang shid S one more look from down the line little bit of left to right in it straightens up at the cup perfect marriage of pace and line Park G [Music] now back to the tournament leader Le Jung mint hasn’t made a birdie since the par for eth and unlikely to make one here at 15 bit like binu always looked a little low jongan g into 16 so P gong demonstrate how to get it close just got to fly it past that slope took a big first bounce but no problem at all for Junk now Yuna she’s stringing a couple of birdies together as well there’s another look at 16 start it right stayed right for y P nji that down on 16 Fairway fabulous shot in there Chong birdie look to come at 15 to move herself up into a share of six with Jong yunji well done she’s hung tough Troy M kyong only player in this group to have never won on the klpga tour she would take a lot of positives from a a solid showing this week final group on both Saturday and Sunday Le young men just running down the clock three clear three to play s to the tea at the 17th more Club than what we’ve seen in the past it’s a six9 so it’s got to be a pretty soft cut for rope took too much off it finds the sand driver off the 16th G for shinil I just have to think she’s probably five good swings away from the finish line here Le J men can’t afford to lose this left but she’s looking right oh it’s just going to skirt around the first bunker and catches a good break [Music] there got the green CH and Je for birdie for one clear of TR Kung and one behind Kim NE as she hit it left that butter face wide open never gave it a chance now up at the last Kim sui part the 17th after that three stab at 16 currently in Solo eightth at 13 under steady steady that’s just rolled into a bit of an uncomfortable length for suji Park mini birdie try here had some health issues towards the tail end of 2023 but that’ll make her feel a little better experience a battle with tertiary neuralia which affects the nerves in your spine said she felt a lot of pain from the top of her forehead to the back of her head Golf Course was a pretty miserable place for part me G she’s showing signs that she’s healthy and getting back to her best now to her long time friend and rival for many years in South Korea parun kyung looking to end her week on a positive note just comes up Shy there remember the Titanic tussle the two of them had back at Rainbow Hills in 2021 he forget Le J young Min finished third that week that was by some margin now Ros youngu bunkered at the 17th not a lot of green work with to play the little stab and run she has played that very nicely suji for a closing part in a round of 68 top 10 finish in the first major of the year for Kim suji the Autumn Queen started to play some pretty good golf towards the tail end of spring nice week’s work for the two-time kpga championship winner nine underp where she will end her Championship alongside lean and hang Yin level part 72 on Sunday for Park hun [Music] Kung see how big these greens are on the mountain course at Lakewoods so important to find the correct sections of these rather undulating surfaces was a little wide off the te Le Min but it’s afforded her a nice angle to this left pin just 108 left protect against going long here protect protect what showing absolutely no signs of backing away it’s a gorgeous shot from Le Jung men could probably start to enjoy the walk right now still a battle for binil doesn’t mind a a runner up finish here we need a couple of birdies to do so oh tosses it deep uses that back stop which is leaving it a little bit late to string some birdies together but not going to be worth a pretty penny at the end of play today fight shot for bang shinil but it’s been the Lee Jung Min show over the weekend here at Lakewood take nothing away from that sparkling 60 from Jour Le young men has just been too good at the kpj championship she leads by three with a great look at birdie to at the 16th hole on Championship Sunday e for for for for for okay well it could be a even more comfortable walk up the last couple of holes if this one drops a Le J young mint getting set up by another excellent iron shot to add to her birdie tally this week get back to 23 underpart Solid Rock Solid from Le young men going to be hard to catch if you’re leading the championship and you’re six under in the final round now park m pins on the right don’t set up well for uh usual right to left ball flight so just a good safe smart play now shinil for backto back birdies oh my goodness it never never touched the hole and she’s got a similar length part coming back you’d like to say the wheels have come off for Bangin s still remember she posted a 68 yesterday she’s W under par today she’s just been outclassed by Leung Min yunji hit a great t-shot into the par 31 12 with a high couch he’s going to need a similar kind of shot here on 17 just didn’t quite work it back enough but that’s going to be all right middle of the green no harm done sh s for par it’s just a a facet of the game that will’ll need some fine tuning with punction sers to win as many championships as we expect her to just neaten things up around the greens now Pak Jong at the last just out of the left rough it’s a releasing looking line so we’ll have to take a couple of yards off just play for some roll out flyer straight through the back for Park G young big drive from you and Ena down to the flat of the Fairway so just to wedge in a very poor wedge at that not a quality shot at all from you and Ena for for it’s a hole that will have fond memories for lead young men this was 24 hours ago stepped up on this te eight under par with an eight iron and well in it went for an eagle an ace a hole in one and a brand new Mercedes eqb electric SUV w [Music] [Music] should have to wait a little bit as the penultimate group still on the green it’s going to be Parkman G putting for birdie first pretty slow one up that hill just towards the end it will want to turn to her right going have to wait a little bit longer back on that t- box cuz b m has raced that one well past the hole more good one for Park G Young on a slight down slop this one’s going to be coming in lower with a bit more release she’s played it well she played it very well hopefully Jung Yan was paying attention [Music] just a little shy [Music] [Applause] very poor second shot into the last for Yun Ena is’s going to be coming from the lower back level of the green coming up the rise moving from her left [Music] parman Jeep about 10 ft left for par at the [Music] 17th often times you say a two win season is pretty solid but not by the standards of Parkman G she collected a dozen in two years added two more last year before her health issues began and that drop shot you know tumbles back out of the top 10 some thiry look here at the Clos in hole very nicely judged broke through in the playoff at Sky 72 last year in inion for her maiden kpga tour title lost in the playoff at the career women’s open at Rainbow Hills where she led by two with two to play she’ll then her week inside the top 10 P J young for a closing par it’s a bit of a disappointing way to end what was otherwise a really good day of golf it’s going to be a 65 for PK Jong when all is said and done now back to your leader on the 17th Le Jong Min should be a seven iron good smart safe shot to the heart of the green you Ena fora a 69 on Sunday for y Ena and week with the top 10 finish and a 65 for p gong solid golf on Sunday two Drop shots on her card Choy Min Kong good amount of cash up for grabs here currently in a share of six the birdie here move into the top five looks like Kim in Bol but bunker not where you want to be there shinil might even be an eight iron for bang it’s a six iron that’s surprising trying to feather one in there it’s going to work out of okay but maybe just in between clubs there so a five shot spread with one and a half holes to go for Lee Jung men as she closes in on klpga tour title number 11 and the first major championship here at Lakewood for for for for for for you bunker at 17 is Troy Min Kung see it All Slopes away from her once she clears that lip has to land this in the fridge and just let it tumble down that Hill towards the pin Li looks okay but we don’t want to be tempted into trying to pitch it near the hole with spin there a lot of sand in these bunkers easy to catch these thin if you’re not careful [Music] did the right thing but maybe just came out a touch too low for even though she’s got that sizable lead still got to stick to that process genten whether it’s the first te Thursday morning the 18th green Sunday afternoon that process should never change just two puts here two good swings on 18 there’s going to be a big smile in her face she makes her way up towards the club house okay that’ll do that’ll do at the last very nearly a grand stand finish R part to close for rongi 71 the top 10 finish at the kpga championship bin Sil birdy look here Sur that’s not going to be enough Pace wind’s really gone out of her sales couldn’t muster anything pars and both par Fs in that front line just the lone birdie at four it’s going to be another bitterly disappointing trip to Lakewood for the teenager for Troy and woo not going to be a backto back couple of weeks for her but a nice birdie at the end for last week’s winner it’s going to be a solid top 10 finish for Cho enu with a closing 71 there do hon had a rather woeful day around Lakewood Maring High One resorts Champion the two-time high One resorts Champion played well here last year with the top 10 but it’s going to be a disappointing Sunday round of 73 for Han jinon try in K back at 17 for par that’s a gutsy up and down for Troy Min Kong The Keeper at 14 under Le J Min you like to say these are a formality you like to think they’re a formality one hole to play for Le Jong Min J just skirted that Fairway trap with the t-shot but she’s okay 101 left [Music] [Applause] now Mii Boi this hole yesterday no problems with the t-shot today safely down the middle that’s okay thought that was going to catch the slope and feed on left but it’s fine Tiger Woods was a big inspiration playing through pain playing through discomfort has done just that surely she’s got at least another couple of wins in her but it’s all about this lady this week lead young men on the last bunker is not going to be in play with this hybrid off the tea driver for Choy Mong groans from the crowd where’s this one headed oh she’s going to need to get lucky that’s okay took a soft bounce and I think she’s far enough back where the lip’s not going to be a problem now up on the Green Park mini for birdie closing par bit of a disappointing way to end that was an otherwise solid week for the 18 time winner on the kpg to bankin Sil surprised he’s not going with driver here G2 laying back with a rescue but doing a fine job of it Jong y this would Pidge some pennies out of the pockets of a couple of players the one behind her TR M K this for a closing birdie mve into solo sixth just a little too much [Music] Pace oh my goodness that’s just a straight up laps in concentration right there take nothing for granted in the game of golf there are no gimmies out here so well Chong Yun stews on that little brain fart let’s take you through this 340 M closing hole at Lakewood it’s a bar four with trees down the left and a bunker that has seen some action throughout this week on the right hand side it’s 230 to cover that right trap if you gamble with the driver and manag to pitch it in the Fairway around that 230 Mar you do get the fast track down to the flat P the Fairway where we saw Yun Ena that penalty on the left really shouldn’t come into play for these ladies but the bunker at the back of the green well that’s a bit of a problem if you’re coming out of the rough easy to catch a flyer not easy to get up and down from but the pin in a fair Fairly generous spot 18 from the front and just 12 from the right on Championship Sunday J Yun had Ambitions of his solo six Place finish with the birdie missed her little tap in for par and the bogey five will drop her back into a sheriff seventh with Kim suji [Applause] B shinil she have one final birdie in her and likely from there it’s another loose one from shinil doubt another huge learning opportunity for bang shinil for Le Jung Min case of deja vu she sort of caught between clubs yesterday pulled the Right One In The End played a very fine shot had four shots to spare caning down this closing hole start at a little bit left and it’s drifting is on the Dance Floor it’ll matter not that it’s nowhere near where the band is playing because Le young men is moment away from capturing an 11th klpga tour title spe B should s slow putt coming up the rise for a birdie she B with the two put here that would secure her solo third there is work to be done Le Min Will Wait join M kyung safely on the green and two putts Here solo sixth Fair chunk of change don’t make the mistake that Jung Yun G just did line looked okay perhaps just lacking in a bit of pace cly going to be her best finish in a major championship join M Kung the second top 10 of her season to go along with her fourth place finish in puked at the Blue Canyon championship Legion men with putts to spare here on the 72nd hole [Music] almost doing it in style Le young men now 6 in away from that elusive major title on the klpga [Music] tour for B Sil for par and solo third disappointing doesn’t really begin to sum up the performance that we’ve seen out of shinil today no doubt she’ll take the positives she’ll learn from this experience but a fast finish from Kim minol seen her share third with shinil couple of great rookies from 2023 showing no signs of the sophomore slump now B a par part up coming for one underpar final round of 71 you’re well done child Min kyong the wait goes on for a breakthrough victory for the 31y old but she’ll have six place all by herself here at the klpga championship but now the moment Lee jungmin has waited a lifetime [Music] [Applause] for her first win coming back at the Duan match play in 2010 she added nine more including one at the end of 2022 her last victory that came in Vietnam but with some Sensational golf over the weekend here at Lakewood a 62 on Saturday and a 66 on Sunday Le young Min bags an 11th kpga to a title and for the first time in her career the 32-year-old can call herself a major ch champion on her home domestic tour what relief what Joy what a celebration ficio Min somebody hand that lady at towel maybe even to she’s run red hot throughout the week the only player to C four rounds in the 60s Le young B you’re a major winner many congratul ations Simply Sublime stuff from Lee Jung [Music] Min there were questions asked was she over the hill were her best days behind her well I think she emphatically answered those criticisms this week with a weekend performance to remember celebrated with the family celebrated in style 11 wins on the kpj tour that is some going and I don’t think she’s going to show any signs of slowing [Music] [Music] down for [Music] [Music] w [Music] [Applause] championship foreign [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] spe for [Music] [Music] [Music] spe for fore spe speee spee for for oh [Laughter] oh I’m going major untitle there for [Music] [Music] perance [Music] there for oh [Laughter] me [Music] per I guess for so a wonderful final round from Le Jung Min Championship record in her back pocket a major championship let’s see how she did it again started the day with that one shot lead she and Bangin s traded PA on the first but it was the 32-year-old who struck first with a birdie at the par three second after an excellent t-shot that iron game that has served us so well throughout the course of her illustrious career continued to Dazzle on Sunday this an approach into the [Music] third that would lead to a birdie and then she would throw a third birdie in a row in at the fourth really would start to stretch her legs and open up a gap there wood par the par 35 but then started to kick it back into high gear birdie here at the par 4 sixth that stretch the lead to four [Music] this is what great Champions do they continue to respond even when you’ve got the likes of janang throwing everything at you yeang started with four on the bounce and then added another there at the seventh she would Birdie the eighth and then hold this at the ninth to turn it’s seven under par 29 while that was happening Joe Min would continue to keep her foot flat to the floor dangerous pin cut on the right hand side of the green but not if you’ve got the iron game of Le Jung [Applause] men stick another birdie in there why don’t you oh we saw this already but why not look at it again j s turning in 20 9 it was so nice we’ll see it twice at three in a row from 2 through four or I don’t make it three in a row from 6 through 8 absolute ball striking Clinic from Le young Min putting demons count for nothing if you only leave yourself a foot or so for birdie but then well there were just some issues birdie putt from long range to this point and the first real nervy stroke we saw in the final round in fact all weekend long from lead Jung Men first drop shot since the 17th on Friday but while that was happening joury s would collect another birdie at the par 312 and then bin one from distance at the [Applause] 14th and then at 15 the par five laid up with her second such an inviting whole location in that right collection area j s continue to pile the pressure on that would lead to a birdie and then this at the 17th actually had a really good look at 16 which just SLI by no such case on the 17th though a birdie 2 that took her 11 deep on Championship Sunday and then on the 18th well technically this was for a 59 and my word she gave it a brilliant try but a closing birdie a course record equaling round of 60 and a runnerup finish at the klpga championship some Sunday to remember for Jan y s Le Jung Min was cruising at this point strung a couple of passs together since that three put at 10 and then threw this Dart into the 16th for good measure a seventh and final birdie of the day for Le young men who could certainly enjoy her walk up the 18th hole found the Green in regulation had a putt from the lower tier of the green wouldn’t quite finish in style but I don’t think it’s going to bother Le Jung men too much a two- part par a closing round of 66 a tournament record setting 23 underpar then a four shot margin of Victory to claim the 46th klpga championship [Music]
