A very good afternoon to you and welcome once again to the Suan Country Club. We are coming at you live from Gyongo, Korea Republic where Kimman Bielol who has been the biggest mover today is about to tee off and she has been in fine form. This is the 2025 NH Investment and Securities Ladies Championship. Kimman Beiel now teeing off for hole number nine. Uh she’s kept really great form. She sits just one behind uh the leader or that is the top spot in the leaderboard which is still occupied by Lee Won. Lee Won has 12 under. Kimman Bol has moved up to 11 under. Just about hitting the rough slightly there but she’s been well she’s been the golfer to watch today. So it’ll be very interesting to see well how she progresses uh through the day. Shiny Jin who really was the biggest uh golfer in the spotlight yesterday is was up to an 8 under then fell fell from grace a little bit to drop to six under today. Uh she’s managed to pick up one so sitting at 7 under currently and uh she will of course give it a best shot. So a couple of golfers in there who have done very well. Remember uh this is a big event in terms of how it’s progressed since last year. It was uh 800 million the prize money. This year it’s 1 billion Korean one which translated to United States dollars is 710,048 m to the hole. Kimju well placed by her. Well, she was the biggest mover uh on day one and she actually uh really challenged Levonne for quite a bit of time, but she too well just falling off the grid a tad bit. Leon onto her eighth hole. She’s still the leader here. It’s a third stroke, but now she’s got Kim and Bol literally breathing down her neck. So, it’s going to be very important for her to be steady. You remember yesterday she was at 13 under and that double bogey on the last hole of course took her to 11 under. And that might have been well just that in her armor which was rock solid for most part of round one and round two. And if you’re trying to figure out why uh you know we don’t have any slacks and the skirts have come out and the girls are looking all pretty. Uh it’s very simple. The temperature of course is very very well pleasant today. I predicted sunny skies with a few cloud covers but uh 17° C and it actually feels like it’s about 20 or 21. So it’s been a very very good uh morning uh in a way. U wind gusts at just about 9 km/h. Remember yesterday they were going up to 27 km/h. Now that might change in the course of the day but we are back to a regular pleasant good day of golf and the women’s attire will tell you a story always. Jihan Soul she’s on her ninth hole. Well that is fantastic placement from her. She started off very well yesterday. uh you know had a few blemishes along the way and then uh that of course just took her well into a bit of a challenging zone. But here’s the golfer now in focus. Kimman Bjol sitting right behind uh Lee Ivonne and she’s been well she’s put on a great display today. Um you know wasn’t really expected came in out of the blue. um has had some really really good moments and that’s what I’ve been saying right through that there are some golfers of course who thrive on bad conditions weather conditions and there are some golfers who will shine when conditions are perfect like today well knocking that quite a bit away from the flag stick but she needed to get out of the rough Kimman Bjol she’s still been well very focused um kept a very very calm demeanor The final round will always have golfers a little more concerned uh than the first two rounds and that’s because there’s a lot at stake. Shinyu Jin, can she nail a birdie here? Well, she knows that it’s just a narrow miss. A gentle tapping will do to clean it up. But you really got to try and make the most of your world chances here today. Here’s Parkuong aiming for birdie on hold 13. Not a worry at all as she moves up to a five under. She too had a good amount of points yesterday and she’s had well three bogeies today in that first nine. Um it’s been a challenging time for her. Kimmanju aiming for birdie on hole eight. Remember she’s up to well 800 and that was the score which she had at the half point yesterday or the midpoint of round two. And well done there as she moves up to a nine under. So Kimju will be happy with well that effort. So interesting uh times here for all our golfers. It’s a beautiful day. Absolutely beautiful day. I do hope you can see you know the sun up in the skies. Um, no more wind breakers. Uh, no more well hoodies or jackets around and also it’s it’s a comfortable time for the golfers. I mean, this is these are the conditions that they normally are best suited to or within which you can call it not the comfort zone but really the perfect zone for them. Here’s Levon. And Leon, of course, one of those golfers who does thrive in bad weather conditions. She’s absolutely fantastic in them. We’ll aim for birdie on hole eight. Needs to take her time with this. And that’s an absolutely narrow miss. Would have skipped a heartbeat there if I was in her shoes. She should be able to finish this easy. So she’ll save Pure, but all said and done. Well, just a chance missed and she knows it. Lee, I do love her temperament. She’s just uh well, she stays focused. She’s got those uh you know gentle smiles that’ll break through once in a while. There are serious moments as well. Very very focused uh golfer. Here’s Kimman Bol. Bit of a long shot for a birdie, but she does get close enough. Shouldn’t be a problem to finish on par here for her. So she’ll still still stay at that 11 under right behind Lee Munjong Min who’s also up to 10 under. She’s on hole number 10, her second stroke. And this is really where golfers begin to shine. It’s on that final round when you see things totally change. Very well done here by Munjang Min. She’s got it onto a fairly decent spot on the green and I do believe it’s been quite impressive from her. Bachman G will aim for birdie on hole 11. She’s down to three under. And that’s a wellplotted uh move from her as she gets another birdie, her fourth birdie of the day, but she’s had three bogeies in there that have pretty much marked her performance. Well, sometimes you might find yourself out of the running for the championship or you know the tournament win, but then there’s always well that the points that count in the end and how you finish in the tournament. Now here’s Kim Mju te’s off for hole number nine. They’re going with the out and the in. Well, as always, it’s so another very very interesting golfer um to watch in action. Kimunji, she’s been a kind of a silent mover for most parts. Now, the ninth hole, of course, it’s Lee Ew who will go next. Keep in mind the fact that there are OB’s on the left and right and you need to be very very careful especially about keeping a safe distance from the team that is in front of you, the group that is playing in front of you uh because uh they may not be visible when you’re taking especially when you’re taking your second shot. So it’s a bit of a confusing uh hole for the golfers. Lovely form as always. Lee Bone giving that ball a good amount of whip. She’s traveled a good distance on the fairways. Now, your second shot has to be very, very important. Uh, with the ninth hole, you’ve got to avoid the deep bunker on the right. And that’s in front of uh the green. Munjong will aim for birdie on hole 10. It’s a bit of a distance, but it’s doable. Almost almost does it for her. She will save par, and I don’t think uh it’s going to matter too much as long as she doesn’t drop points. So, keeping that 10 under still and she’s right up there in third position. She’s moved up four spots today. Kimman be moving up two spots. Looking back at a few moments, here’s Kimman Biel on that first hole. And that’s where she began to shine. And then on the second hole as well, she was back again in action. And those birdies just kept coming in. She was just going about her business as usual. Then the third hole. Well, sometimes you just hit, you know, you just see that rainbow in the sky and you grab it. And that’s exactly what Kim Beiel has pretty much done today. Then she went on to the fourth hole. She’s had six well big ones today. That was again terrific placement from her. set herself well up to finish with an underscore on this hole. And that’s exactly what she did. There we go with the fifth hole. And those birdies just kept coming for her. If you look at six points, Lee Wong just had one under today. But six under for Kimbiel. And there are just days when you find form. And she’s not the only one. Moonjong Min has also picked up six uh well big ones today. She’s certainly become the toast of uh the audience here today. There’s no doubt about it. So Kim and be all just looking at all her exploits. Uh you know those terrific birdies from her six points uh six well holes covered very neatly. Kim and Ju now will move on to her second stroke for hole nine using an eight iron 135 m to cover. Well let’s not discount Munjong Min who’s also picked up six under today. and she’s moved up to third position with an overall score of 10 under par. And I think that that’s the important part. You’re looking now at a three-way battle here. Leon with 12 under and uh you’ve got Kim Bol with 11 under and Munjong men with 10 under. Leon on her ninth hole. Kim Bol on her 10th and Munjong Min on 11th. So very interesting. Munjong Men will have to be the one to finish before all of them and she will have to keep a good check on her points. Well struck here by Leon once again putting herself in goodstead of a fine finish. Well, all said and done in the final round. Remember Leon last year finished as winner with a 13 under pass score and uh you know if I’m not mistaken Yuna was uh the runner up and then Hong Yu Min tied with Hanion in third position with a sevenunder score. Yunina had well 10 under but it was Leon who claimed the top and she was flawless. 66 6968. Well, that was a finish at the end of each day uh over 3 days and she finished with a score of 13 underpar. That is the score that she was at yesterday. So, it’s very interesting to see how you know it’s all going to play out today. Now, Shinyu Jin, while she was also shining yesterday, had a few worries. She’s down to that seven under here. will go in for a second stroke on hole nine. Uh-huh. Hong Yaun. Hong Yaun will take we’ll tee off for hole number one. Just counting a one over score. So just a quick look at the leaderboard. Leon continues to lead with that 12 under. Kim and Bol with 11 under in second and M Jong Min with 10 under in third. Kimju right behind with nine under in fourth and in fifth Hong Jun Min with eight under. That’s the top five with five point difference well separating them. And then you’ve got all well the tied components when tied eight. You’ve got Limhi Jong, Chiun, Kimuji and Kojiu. Um, let’s not forget that one of the key things to remember in this event is the fact that when you’re looking at that top five and you look at where Hungjun Min sits at number five with that uh, you know, eight under and then you’ve got the 9 under, 10 under, 11 under, and 12 under which of course ends with Leon at the top. Um, in tied sixth position. Now, this is a very interesting battle cuz Li Ji Hon sits there with Hongjun Min and Hongjun Min has been well that golfer who had a real worry yesterday. She struggled through a lot of uh you know the round but she’s actually now sitting at uh at fifth position with uh an eight under. Shin Yu Jin who had a great day yesterday has struggled through today just pulled in one birdie and she sits with Li Ji Hion uh in tied sixth. So left to be seen where Shinyu Jin can finish cuz keep in mind the fact that she still has nine holes to go. If you’re looking at uh well Lii Hyun she’s got 11 holes to go. Hong Jun Min has seven to go. Kim Mju has nine holes to go. Munjong Min has seven holes to go. Kimman Bol has got eight and Lebon has got nine. So, it’s a very very interesting battle at the top. And it couldn’t get bigger than this cuz we’re not looking at two golfers who are in focus or three golfers. We’re looking at practically about five of them still in the running for the tournament win. It’s going to be a big one. It’s going to be a really big one here today. And uh well, I always love, you know, photo finishes. I always love a contest that goes down to the wire and uh well there’s so much left in this day and the very fact that it’s so pleasant uh you know you’ve got all these beautiful colors of the foliage of the flora and fauna you know just sitting around um looking very respplendant. The ladies looking absolutely uh you know stunning in their attire. They’re back to their usual gear. They’re back to their usual well, I’d say rhythm and uh you know, the mood is really good here today. So, it it’s just going to get better than this. Stay with us as we continue with our coverage of this uh wonderful uh event in the KPGA tour of 2025. This is the NH Investment and Securities Ladies Championship. Just a gentle reminder that we are coming at you live from the Suan Country Club in Gyongo Korea Republic. My name is Glenn Mascarinas and there’s still a lot more action to follow. Stay with us. Kimmanju. She’s got a lot to do, a lot of ground work to be done here today. Will gets close, but it’s not going to be a birdie for her on hole nine. She can save P for certain. Kimman Bu. It’s a second stroke. Need to get out of uh well the beach. No suntanning there today. And I think that that’s how you turn a disadvantage into an advantage. Very well done there. She’s been very smooth today, you know, in free flow in terms of uh her gameplay. And I think it’s it’s quite a study if you look at the last three days and we’ve had you know that first day which was very daunting for a couple of the golfers with bad weather conditions and then you had of course golfers who can really play against the rough like Levon shine on round one and round two and then you had Shinyu Jin and uh well Kim Ju who made such a splash but today we’ve got a surprise package in Kim and Bol and it’s very interesting to see how she’s going to finish. Will she be able to pull the carpet out literally where Levon is currently standing from under Lewon’s feet? Well, let’s find out. A birdie here on old nine. And that’s going to be the third time today that Lee Wan has had a very narrow miss. So 35 on the out. Well, she’s not had any uh blemishes today in that first nine, but wonder where the leave ons. Of course, the mental makeup is so important in golf. And you know, finishing having such a stunning uh you know, round two and then finishing with a double bogey on your 18th hole sometimes can be a bit of a mental block when you get into the final round. Mjong, she’s on to her third stroke for hole 11. Remember, she sits with 10 under in third position on the leaderboard. Well, not a bad effort at all. Keeping in mind the fact that she’s still very much in line. She’s going to be looking at a downward slope. Uh, you know, leading to that tin cup when she goes in with the putt. Talking of which, uh, here’s Kimunji needs to save power for whole nine to keep that nine under intact. wasn’t really a worry for her. So, she’ll keep her score untouched. Not a bad effort at all on that front line from Kimunji. Here’s Limhi Jong aiming for birdie on hole 13. and that’s well done. That will put a smile on her face for certain. So, a birdie on hole 13. She’s at four today. Goes up to a seven score. Never discount any golfers, keeping in mind the fact that you’ve still got a lot of holes to play for and you can never speculate. You know, when a golfer is leading, even with two holes left, everything can change. But here’s Kimman Bol. We’ll aim for birdie on hole number 10. She’s got to keep her wits together for this one. There is a bit of a desenter. Oh, she almost nailed that beautifully. A good bit of thought going into that uh apart from her. Well, she will save par, but I’m sure she would have loved to have just claimed the birdie would have well tied at the top position. And uh now every single hole is going to count. She’s got well seven left to play for or eight left to play for. Sorry. And as you can see there are whole a lot of school children who’ve turned up. Oh, looks wonderful. absolutely love it when you see uh you know the young ones supporting a sport or actually coming out and many of them of course later on take up the sport or are uh you know playing the sport still in their formative years. Here’s Hong Jun aims for birdie on hole number 11. Well crafted, well played and well executed and it’s great to see her back in form. That is her fifth birdie of the day and she’s moved up to a nine under absolutely wonderful performance. Keep in mind the fact that she’s coming into this tournament on the back of a big win. She won her first big event when she picked up the Chris FNC KPJ championship on the 4th of May and she won that just by a single point advantage. Uh you know defeating Pakiong and Jihan Saul both who had a final of nine under. Now here’s Kojiu. Expect a few surprises from her. She’s up to seven under after she gets through her 10th hole. She had an eagle yesterday, too. And she normally has an eagle in most contests. I don’t know how. She probably loves the eagles. Here’s Mjong. And that’s got to be well one of the biggest uh well misses. I think Eli’s missed out on three. and Munjang men also missing out on this. It hasn’t been easy at all, but uh I do believe Leon well still has a lot of ground work to do today cuz you know that lead can just slip past you um over a period of time as uh you know the day progresses. Now she’s still with that 12 under. will tee off for hole number 10. That’s an excellent shot from her. And hole number 10 is always going to be an interesting one. Um, you know, it’s it’s pretty much uh a straight uh, you know, down the line from the T-R position, but both sides have, you know, um, well, a bit of well, hazards. You’ve got to try and avoid the bunkers in front. Yuan Joe using a power wedge for a second stroke on hole number 12. Now the second shot on that hole number 10 where Levonne is currently. Uh the second shot is a long middle hole. You’ve got to take a longer club and you’ve got to try and avoid that left bunker. carry yourself for a bit of distance. Kimju will know that as well. It’s a powerful for the asking on this hole and she’s grouped of course with Levon. She was the main challenger to leave on um practically well yesterday and uh for part of day before as well. That’s a terrific crowd. That is an absolutely fantastic crowd. You know, you take away the reinss and you bring in the crowds and that’s what you do. And I was just talking about these young ones. Well, it’s just wonderful to see them always uh you know, bring joy to any event and their presence is so important because uh you know when you just look at the future of golf and how you know the sport well will grow and they are a happy bunch. They certainly are. and they definitely love the lens more than even a golfers do. So, always great to see them. So, absolutely lovely crowd here today. As I said, you know, and they started pouring in uh fairly early. Um you could see well, not just family and friends, but you know, so many of the fans that have turned up here today. Now, keep in mind the fact that this also is a spot which is in in Gyongo where um you know, families and and friends, they really do support a lot of sport. Another area that I really love traveling to is Busousan because Busousan has this baseball culture there and you know the their support for their team, the merchandise, the way that the fans really pull things together. You walk down the streets and you can see jerseys and that’s when you know how supporting a city is. Levon continues to lead with that 12 under Kim and Bol in 11 under in second and Moon Jung with 10 under in third. Now in tied fourth we’ve got Hong Jung Min and Kimju. Now this is very very interesting. So things are progressing. We’re still looking at five golfers in there in the running for the tournament. And of course, let’s not discount even Li Ji Yun who’s sitting with that eight under in sixth position. But that tied seventh is still also a bit of threat depending on the kind of holes that are still left to play for Kojiu and Shiny Jun have only finished you know 10 and nine holes while Limhi Jong and Chyubun have finished 13 and 12 respectively. But that tied seventh, especially with Kojiu and Shinu Jin, don’t count them out of the running as yet. Then you’ve got the tied 11th with Sio Jin, Sunungyu Jin, and Kim Suji with six under. And then the tied 14th where Baiso Yun Jihan Sol and a couple of the other golfers sit. So, we’ve still got a lot of action left uh in this event and uh I I’m just excited that it’s going to be such an interesting finish. Um it’s I really was uh you know looking at well leave on really capping off all the action. She really was in very goodstead. But when you kind of break things down a little bit, you will understand that well, anything changes on a given day. And I think it’s really been fantastic to watch uh, you know, what what Kimbiel has done here today. And that’s the kind of, you know, action that we’re always looking for. She’s an absolutely stunning golfer to watch in action. I do love her temperament. and she’s calm, collected, very very well smooth with the way that she goes about her day at the office. And that’s so important. So each golfer does bring, you know, kind of style to what they do. Pak Jang, one of my favorite golfers, not just for her golf play, but she’s got swag, she’s got style, and she’s always been like that. And then you have, you know, the girl next door golfer, Huang Yu Min. Um, liked by everybody, not just by, you know, fellow golfers, but the fans. Um, stunning to watch in action when it comes to, uh, days when she has peaked. And then you have, of course, world stars like Kimman Bj who will come up and surprise you with some excellent golf play when you least expect it. So I think all in all it’s turning out to be a very very exciting tournament and uh well I’m just happy to be here and I do love the weather. I can’t say uh you know enough about it. Uh you know we always well the weather conditions can always be a huge problem but this is just outstanding to watch how you know the weather has been. Um let me also remind you that Kim and Beiel is only uh 21 years old. Her rookie year on the KPJ was uh 2023. Born in Korea Republic, her best finish was 26th in the 2024 US Women’s Open. Her nickname is Minstar. She’s uh very much on the KPGA tour. She’s a she’s a very very popular golfer with the with the younger golf fans. She’s a pretty girl like all the golfers are, but uh she’s got a unique style and I as I said, you know, she brings a different personality onto uh the course which is so very important. That’s what really defines a golfer. You look at someone like Lee War, you know, you call her that little bundle of energy. She’s such a strong competitor. Uh especially on in tournaments where she begins to shine big. Now she’s going in with a seven iron for her second stroke on hole number 10. needs to keep those points, you know, building up, but she hasn’t been at the peak of her powers like she was in the first two rounds. Just showing a few chinks in armor, not too much, nothing that that’s really detrimental. Yes, Kim Bol second stroke for hole 11. wall does get close, but she’s going to sit just outside the border of uh the green. Kimji next Kim and Ju next. Sorry. And she’s still carrying that nine under. Second stroke for hole 10. She would definitely love to catch up with Leon. I’m sure about that. She’s done well. getting herself at a tad bit of a distance uh from her counterparts placement at the other end. Here’s Shinyu Jin. Second stroke for hole 10. Oh, well played. Well played, Shiny Jin. Go efforts here on hole 11. Wow. Well, that ball needs a little bit of coaxing and I think it will listen to the crowd just for a little bit. You got it. I did it. Good job. me. Kimju well on hold number 10. This is going to be her third stroke. It will be interesting to see how well she performs here. Oh, that would have been such a stunning finish. A bit unfortunate here for Kim Mju. and Munjang We’re just about tapping to finish that off. Another golfer that you know the fans have had their eyes on here today cuz she’s really really she’s really been shining. Lee one will aim for birdie on hold 10. It’s a good bit of a distance but she will aim to cover this well. missed out on a few opportunities here today and I think those have uh well left to be seen because at the end of the day we will know whether that’s proved to be expensive or it’s just been a part of the day. She will say par still holding on to that lead but it hasn’t been her best outing in these three rounds so far. Um hasn’t really you know dropped points as such but it’s about picking them up. And here’s Kimman Bol. She’s picked up a few good ones today. And that’s what I meant. Very smooth, very easy with the stroke blade. You know, she’s a different kind of golfer. Shenu Jin aiming for birdie on hole number 10. Another miss for her. Time will be of the essence here and Shinu Jin will know that well, but she’ll be happy with, you know, how she’s progressed through much of yesterday and today. Kimju will need to save par on hole number 10. Well, that’s got to be well the forces of the course against you. Bit unfortunate there to bogey that one. Well, really could have just finished it nicely. She’s had three birdies today. Opens up the back nine with a bogey. Coojiu could have had an eagle today as well. Remember she had one yesterday. Just a narrow miss here for her. Lee Won will tee off for hole number 11. Remember this is well 471 m to cover par five for the asking. She’s had birdies in that first and second round as well. Left to be seen whether she can do that today. And hole 11 is always going to be one of those holes that is a bit of a worry. We’ll talk about it, but Kojiu here aiming for birdie after missing out on that eagle for hole 11. And that’s well done. She goes up to well eight under with three birdies in there today. Consecutive birdies on hold. Nine and 10. And she’s also tied fifth. Kimman Beiel will aim for birdie on hole 11 and that’s beautifully played and she’s now in tied first position. That’s her seventh birdie of the day. So she ties with Leon at 12 under. And now the contest is heating up in this event. Here’s Kimji. Kimju who’s who’s going to go in with uh well her tea off for hole 11. And Kimju remember also has well that daunting task. Now this T-shot has to be aimed between the pine tree in the middle and the hill on the right. And that’s exactly what the golfers are aiming to do. If you do go over the hill on the right to the eighth hole, there’s an OB and you should just hit it as far as you can. Now, it’s a service long hole where you can aim for an eagle. Many uh you know, coach, you will almost nail one. And even if you’re on the left, uh if you go over the second hole with 150 yards and if you do not see that OB, you should hit from where the ball is. Somehow the other hole number 11 can be a favorite hole for many golfers. Remember Lee Wong had of course uh two consecutive birdies on round one and round two. Hong Jun Min missing out on a big one here, but uh I don’t think that’s going to bother her too much cuz she’s still been she’s been she’s found her form back again here today. Uh you know, as compared to what round two was for her, it was a really really challenging uh time for her. Just a gentle tuck in Lemie Jong. Second stroke for hold 15. Well, that’s well played. Absolutely well played. Well, as long as you can get yourself, you know, to travel a bit on the fairways and I think this is what you know golfers like will leave on and Kim Miel would be very concerned about. Munjong Min still very much in there. She’s in a second now with that 11 under. We’ll tee off for hole number 13. It’s a par three for the asking. And as long as you can clear that water hazard, which she’s done. She’s got a she’s got herself in a very good position here. You’ve got to hit a bit long and that’s what the golfers aim for on hole 13. And uh there’s a double green, of course, so you have to hit long depending on the flag pole position. I think the flag pole position for today is perfect for the golfers. Now, here’s Levonne facing a tree and a big task in front of her cuz now she’s sharing the leadership at the top of the leaderboard. 229 m to cover. It’s a second stroke for hole 11. elsewhere on the coast. Sunyu Jin will aim for birdie on hold 15. Oh, well played. Beautifully played. Very well thought of here. Seven under for her. Sunya Jin also shines on certain days and you know there’ve been well great moments uh watching her uh in action. She can’t bring you know those surprises every now and then. Lim Jong Games Subirdie on Hall 15. Let me jungle came a birdie on all 15 to move up to an eight under. She’s got three more holes to play for. Kimju onto her third stroke for hole 11. Remember this is well one of those uh you know tricky holes where you can actually aim for an eagle but it really depends on you know how much is the distance that you cover. Now she’s put herself up in contention of a birdie here. Kimman Bol second stroke for hole number 12. She’ll go in with a nine iron 129 m to cover. Well, if I were I don’t know what the end of the tournament is going to be and that’s really you know the most exciting part. But if I were to turn this, I would say, you know, the sun came out and Kimman be all saw the light. Well, she certainly did here today. And that’s if I were to cover round three itself, you know, in an article probably. Leon third stroke for hole 11. She’s got to get herself a good placement on the green. And I do believe that she really hasn’t been in the form that she was in the last two days. um you know I don’t know whether there’s a bit of a well obstacle in her mind or there’s some sort of a doubt but um she was very much in control today it’s almost like she’s played very very safe now here’s Munjong men aiming for birdie on hole 13 as she could catch up with the top two So birdie to tie for the lead. Has to think through this very very carefully. No impulse. No impulsive shots and just narrowly missing out on time for the top spot. So currently still dining at the top of the leaderboard but now of course with a companion it’s Kim Miel and Leon with 12 under Mun Jong Win with 11 under in third and Hong Jung Min still hovering around with nine under in fourth and then in tied fifth you’ve got a bit of a battle going on there and I think it’s going to be interesting to see how this pans out cuz when you look at uh you know the way this tournament has progressed so far we’ve had so many changes coming in uh on this very day. So in tied fifth you’ve got Lii on three, Limhi Jong and Kojiu, Kimju and they sit with uh well eight under and then you’ve got that tied ninth where there’s a trio of Sunungyu Jin, Kimuji and Shinyu Jin who sit with seven under. So all said and done now that gap at the top really being closed and if Munjang Min does uh herself well she could just tie in with the top two. interesting battle and it’s getting even more interesting in terms of uh the combinations in terms of just looking at you know where uh this tournament is going to head towards at the end of the final round and I think it’s going to be quite an unpredictable finish which is the best part of any sporting event in the world at least someone like me absolutely love it stay with us don’t go anywhere as we continue with our coverage um of this very very wonderful event which is the 2025 NH Investment and Securities Ladies Championship. We are coming at you live from the Suon Country Club in Gongido where the colors are totally visible and vibrant today where the rain or the haze or the fog there’s nothing to mar this beautiful day. 17° C feels a bit like it’s about 20 or 21 and that’s a great thing after 2 days of dampness. It is absolutely fantastic. Stay with us. Don’t go anywhere as we continue with our coverage of the final round of this wonderful and thrilling uh tournament. Good boy. As long as Kim and Bol can actually uh you know save par that’s going to serve her well and you know Levon just missing out on a birdie a while back that’s been a bit of a worry for her. Um here’s Kimju. Now Leon of course had birdies on hole 11 yesterday and the day before. It’s going to be a narrow miss for her as well. just needs a gentle nudge to finish the job. And that’s what she does as she keeps an even score here. Kim and Juin aims to birdie on hole 11. And that’s well done. We’re just looking at glimpses of what she gave us. Well, yesterday she was in such good form. Lee won looking to save part. That’s what she does for hole 11. don’t think she would have been too happy with uh with this one and that expression will say a bit. She’s had her moments today. Well, as I said, she hasn’t done anything really wrong, but she hasn’t done anything spectacular. And I think that that’s what is needed at this point of time. There’s another golfer who I absolutely love to watch because she just comes out with those unexpected gems. Let’s go. We’ll tee off for hole 13. Remember what I said? It’s a It’s a par three for the asking. But sometimes, well, these are the most worrying of all holes cuz as long as you can clear that water hazard in front of you, you have to hit it a bit of a distance further down. And it’s a double green, so you have to hit it long depending on the flag bowl position. Now, Kojiu, she can hit. She loves to hit to go for those, you know, big long shots. Oh, and she’s got herself onto the green. Not a worry at all. I was just about whether she can finish with a with an underscore here. Kimman B getting ready for her next challenge. And that’s hole 13. She’s still the joint leader. Goes in with a six iron for this one. 142 m the total distance to cover. And I think uh well just a bit too much of club on that. She’s put herself at a distance from well the flag pole. A birdie might not be well on the horizon for this one. Chuck. Leon will tee off for hole number 12. Both the left and the right are obies and there’s a hole with a very severe slice there. You have to aim for the left bunker. Now the water hazard seen in the distance of teeing off is about 300 yd away. So when you’re using the right green, you’ve got to aim the second shot between the greens. And it’s it’s a big advantage to choose a longer club. Jihan Soul will te off for hole 13. Well, that is absolutely fantastic. And that’s the way you do it. That’s really the way you do it. She’s got it plum in front of the tin cup. All that it means now is a gentle nudge to finish it off with the birdie. Absolutely phenomenal. Um from well, Jihan Saul, that is a terrific tea off. Lun Jong Min second stroke for hole 14. 105 m to cover. 4.4 m elevation. That’s what we’re looking at. That’s another fantastic effort from Munjong Min. Now, here’s Hong Jung. Second stroke for hole 14. And if you haven’t noticed, she’s up to a 10 under. She isn’t taking things lightly. Has really made up for lost time in the final round. And not a bad placement at all right there on the green. Lihi Jong Limhi Jong aiming for birdie on hole 16. She’s had a few good moments today. Wellcrafted and thought through strokes. And that’s another one of them. She’s up to a nine under consecutive birdies on 15 and 16. Still two more holes to play for. What a performance from Limi Jong. Kimju needs to get out of the rough. Shouldn’t be too much of a problem for her. This, of course, is an old 12. So, all said and done, we still need to come up with the goods as far as our golfers are concerned. And while Kimju and Honjung Min will do their very best, that battle at the top between the tied co-leaders Leon and Kimman Bol is going to pretty much tell us where this tournament is headed. Talking of which is Leon. That’s her second stroke for hold 12. Leon having a quick word with the caddy. Meanwhile, elsewhere, here’s Kimman Bjol. Now that ball’s just going to roll away uh you know carry through with that uh slope. I think this could be a bit of a problem for her cuz the last thing she’d want to do is drop back uh you know in a position on the leaderboard. She’d want to keep that safe. And I think that that’s what’s changed a little bit ever since she tied in at the top. Meanwhile, Hong Jung Min will aim for birdie on hold 14 and she’s nailed it. She moves up to 11 under and in toy third. What an event this is turning out to be. What an event. What a performance from Hongjun Min as well today. Kiu aims for birdie on hole 13 and that’s just worked that ball definitely charmed by Kiu. That’s a fourth birdie for the day. So she moves up to a nine under and she’s grateful for it that just sat on the rim that ball glanced in and said all right I do like Kojiu. Let me find my way through. Mjong men now with 11 under aims for a birdie and hole 14. And this of course could see her tied at the top. And that’s the second time around that’s happened. That’s really painful. Really painful. Mjang not happy at all. And Kimbiel just very very narrowly missing out. Now she’s had about three or four of those efforts here today, but she hasn’t been able to get that through and she’s needed those birdies which means she’s now well bogey. The first one today drops to that 11 under. She had a blemishry performance. That first nine was stunning from her and now things are just beginning to change a little bit. So Lee is still sitting at the top of the table with that 12 under while Kimman Bol of course is in second with 11 under after bogeying her previous hole. Thank you Lord. First of all, So Leon just clarifying with her out about that. She can actually we’ll just finish off what she started. She really is a cool customer. Can keep her wits together. May miss out on those birdies, but she’ll still keep well pecking away as much as she can. Kojiu now to tee off for hole number 14. Okay, well played there. Kimju looking to save power for hole number 12. Kojiu not to be uh you know discounted. Um she finished second right behind well Pako Pakbukum in uh the Blue Canyon Ladies Championships earlier this year. Here’s Kimju. She’s bogi the 12th as well moves to seven under. So Kojiu during that Blue Canyon Ladies Championship in March this year. She really gave Park Vokum uh you know a tough time. Um she kept pushing her. She kept coming up with those winners. Now here at a tea off at hole 14 for Kim and Bol. She’s got to tread cautiously as well after she dropped well a point. She was tied at the top. Needs to get back to that rhythm which she started with in the first nine. She had those stunning birdie after birdie after birdies. Lihi Jang. Third stroke for old 17. And just that’s just going to roll back a bit. Here’s Hanjung men. Will be interesting to see how you know she come. I think this is going to be a very important year for her after she had that, you know, amazing win in the previous tournament and lifted her first big title. Uh second stroke on hole 15. She’s going in with an eight iron. She’s at a healthy 11 underscore and you know that’s where well she’s tied with in second position I would believe with um Kim and Bolu Jin. Third stroke for the 17th hole. And that’s well struck. Oh, very well struck. She hit the flag goal. Well, she certainly did. Just a bit higher than expected and she knows it. And those are moments that you wait for in golf, isn’t it? Could have actually nailed that. Could have had an eagle. Mixed bag here today for you know Leon. And that’s what happens. You you play in free flow. You play very very naturally on your first and second round and you do your best. Uh but when you come to that final round, there’s always that pressure. There’s that expectations and that’s what changes things around a little bit. You need to shake that off your shoulders. So using a seven iron, Lee wants off at hole 13. Kim Bu second stroke for hole 14. Needs to get that winning form back again. Goes in with a nine iron. She’s got 120 m to cover. Now displacement for will be crucial. She’s got herself away from the green. Don’t think she was expecting that. And we’ll definitely be questioning uh you know we’ll have a few questions about well her performance in the last uh you know couple of in the last hole in this one. Meanwhile Munjong Min also on tied second now she has she will go with her second stroke on hole 15. You know while we’ve looked at Kim Bol and she’s been respplendant through that first nine. We’ve kind of just gently ignored Munjang who’s also been fantastic through this entire event. Lovely placement there on the green from her. And that’s straight up there. Go doing extremely well here. Was just looking back at a few of the results last year. And one of the big golfers who really made the circuit was Ma, but she hasn’t done too well. But towards the latter part of 2024, she was fantastic. Lewon still at the top with 12 under. Hong Jun Min Jung Min Hong Jung Min Jong Min and uh Kim Bol of course in tied second with that 11 under and it’s really still a battle between those top four or five golfers and will be interesting to see well how things uh you know pan out going ahead. Remember the last time Kim Beiel picked up a win in 2024 was on the 13th of October at the Dongu Construction Korea Championship and that was really her first big win. So she is a golfer who’s got the ability to shine and she’s done that today. So the top four the top four on the leaderboard that’s what we’re looking at currently. So, as we get into, you know, the latter part of this uh tournament into our last few well holes that need to be played out here, it’s going to be a very interesting battle. It’s anyone’s game, uh, you know, to win or lose. uh top four golfers in there and uh it it’s an interesting uh it’s an interesting uh tournament keeping that in mind. We’ve had well so many changes you know heavy rain on the first day uh showers yesterday and then today of course a bright and sunny day. Now the just to recap things for you the 2025 NH Investment and Securities Ladies Championship you know being played out here at the Suan Country Club. We’ve had three rounds. This is the third and final round. The expected winning score was 12 under par. Currently, Lee Wong does sit at 12 under par, but there’s always room for more. There’s always room for better. Now, having said that, uh the first place in the power rankings getting into this tournament was Lee Wong. She’s also the defending champion, you know, after having won it uh the last time around. Uh second place was Bangshin Sil who’s kind of fallen out a little bit. And the third place was Madas who hasn’t really made the splash in this tournament. Now the competition course as we know has a total length of 6,597 yards. The course record is 64 strokes which was recorded by um Kim Jayong 2 and Lena in 2017. There was a 3-day rain forecast. Thankfully the third day hasn’t worked out according to the forecast. Players who excel in bad weather conditions were supposed to have been supposed to have had the advantage here and this is one of them. Leon now aims for birdie on hold 13. She’s at 12 under. It’s a good chance here for her to get herself into a very strong position for the win. She’s at four. four narrow misses today and uh you know that score would have been very very different. Talking of which I think Kimman Bol is also going through her own worries. Needs to get in from a distance on hold 14. Well, the birdie might be out of the question, but she’ll have to save power on this one if she wants to keep those points intact. Here’s Lihi Jong aims to birdie on hold 17. Was a bit of a tough ask. She’ll have to just tap that in for an even score. Oh, I think she’s done well here. Oh, gently does it. Very fine finish there from Sunung Yu Jin. And that’s another birdie for her. She moves up to an eight under. She’s got one more hole to play for. She’s very happy with the performance today. She’s really bettered herself, you know, as compared to the first two rounds. And I think well, sometimes golf is all about playing against yourself. And, you know, that’s that’s the crux of the matter. That’s the ultimate goal. You know, you aren’t playing against the other opponents. You’re really playing against yourself because it’s only you who can make a mistake. And that’s something that a player like or a golfer like Hungjun knows the best. Had a moments yesterday. She’s come back strong today. Win or don’t win the tournament, but the very fact that you’ve got, you know, back in there, you’re in the final round. Those points in the championship race are going to be considered and your rankings are going to be considered and Hanjung just needs a gentle tap in to clean this up. She still remains in tied second. Lee will aim to save par on hole number 13. 97.92% par saves and she’ll still maintain that 12 under. She still is the leader. So just one birdie so far in the day. Still four holes left to play for and these could be very crucial for her. Kojiu will aim for birdie on hole number 14. Oh, wonderful there. A bit of joy from this young lady and it’s uh 10 under now for her. So, she’s had five birdies in there, four on the back nine and she’s certainly stepping up her game. Will gracefully accept uh the compliments. Mjong men will aim for birdie on hole 15. It’s quite a distance to travel. A pot to perfection. And now she’s the joint leader for the first time. Moonjong Min. She’s had an eagle in there. She’s had six birdies and she has suddenly emerged as well. One of the big contenders. So tied with Lee Ewan at the top. Now Kimman Biel will need to save par on hole 14. She’s still very much in the running for the title as well. Oh, and that’s just lipped out at the wrong moment. And that’s just going to drop a point as she bogies that one. So consecutive bogeies on 13 and 14. And she’s dropped to 10 under. A bit unfortunate for her. She was going great guns. Had such a great start to the day. And Munjong Min, what do you say about her? She’s just gone on doing her work. It’s like a regular day at the office. She’s working behind the scenes. And here she is now tied with Lewon at 12 under. And that is very, very impressive. Come on. That struck well and hard. Good position on the fairways, but let’s be seen how far she can progress with this. Leon. She’s teed off well there. And you always talk about her being this little bundle of, you know, energy because she’s not the biggest golfer in terms of size. She’s not that tall, but she’s just got great arm strength. She’s got fantastic, you know, midbody power. That ability to, you know, drive those shots at a great distance. And that tells a lot about uh the kind of golfer that she is, the kind of strength that she brings uh to the course every time. Kojiu now will tee off for hole 15. And she’s having a lovely day as well. Coojiu, you know, great performance from her. Well, she’s a young girl, very talented golfer, you know, has uh, as I said, had a great start to the year. Finished runner up, you know, the Blue Canyon Ladies Championship in March. Limi Jung, that’s her. Well, 18th hole and it’s going to be interesting cuz she’s got herself on the green but at quite a distance from the destination. She’ll need to work towards uh earning an under score here. Now teeing off is for whole 14 is Kimju. I’m just going to look at how far she drives. That might have just covered a bit more ground than Lee Evon. I do love the crowds here today. And by the time we get to the club clubhouse, it’s going to be really fascinating. You look at that. There’s crowds all around. And you know, the golfers get a chance to play to the fans, to play for the audience more than anything. King off the hole 15. Here’s Kimmanol. And she needs to, you know, pick up her game if she is still going to chase that tournament winner. Oh yeah. Go go go go go. It’s a very interesting turn of events here for you know these golfers and the way that they’ve actually gone about their business and I do believe that there’s always a chance for them to better uh you know their performances going in with the nine iron here for hole 15 Kimman Bol now her placement is so important she’s got herself onto the green we’ll have to work a it hard for uh well that birdie might be out of the out of contention and she knows it you know an onpar finish might be more an option started off really well today uh unfortunately you know Kimbiel just losing the path slightly in with those you know consecutive bogeies now Kojiu second stroke for hole 15 she’ll go with the power wedge And well, all three group members getting fairly close to each other are on the green. But it’s been a wonderful day and a wonderful performance from all the golfers and they’ve really been, you know, they’ve shined bright here today. Hong Jun, interesting uh to see how she works it out here today. Elsewhere, here’s Lee One, joint leader, using an air time in for a second stroke for hole 14. She needs to get to Birdie Land as soon as possible. Well played there by Lee W. Now she’s got the ability to nail a birdie from a distance. She’s done that before many times over in the last two rounds. So as we cruise through what we’d call, you know, the latter part of the contest, this is of course the final round, the final day, the finale. Call it what you want, but it’s been an exciting one for us. Shinyu Jin still hovering around that eight under, seven under for most part. She’s currently on eight under. Second stroke per hole 14. Going in with a nine iron here. Oh, that is an absolutely fantastic effort from her. And uh she’s had so many of those moments she’s put on display. Come out with some spectacular stroke play, spectacular finishes. Limhi Jang will aim for birdie on hole 18. She looks to finish her day’s efforts, her tournament’s efforts. Oh, that’s just missed the mark. That’s just missed the mark entirely. Confidently done though by Limhi Jong Kimman Bol needs to work this well. Remember she’s looking at a distance. There’s a bit of a downward slope there as well and needs to be careful. And she’ll have to save par for this one. No doubt about it. Mjong Min looking to save par on hole 16. She can’t afford to drop points either. Not at this part of the contest cuz she’s still a hole ahead of uh Leon and she will land up bogging that. It’s just nerves all around now as you get into the last few holes and uh more than expected. So she will lose that joint leadership. It’s not going to serve her too well. But Kojiu still laboring on and continuing with her battle. Looking for birdie on hole 15 and she’s missed a mark as well. Just a bit too much of uh arm on that one I think. Having said that, Jihan Saulwell did get it closest to the tin cup earlier and she might be in for a good finish there. Hong Jun looking to save power on hole 16 and she pretty much does that a gentle push very nicely played. She’s still with that 11 underscore. Sunyu Jin aims to birdie on hole 18. She’s got an eight underscore. Oh, that ball. Well, just a Cuban for her. It certainly turned in the right direction. Just needed a few more legs on it. And she’ll save par as she finishes with 69, 72, and 67 in three rounds and a final score of eight under. Suny Jin’s done well today. Uh, you know, just bettering her performance. Jihan Saul next subird on hole 15. And that’s nicely played. Definitely the victory lap for her here. Jihan Sol with the birdie on 15. Moves up to seven under. She’s got three holes left to play for. And that’s put a big smile on her face. Relief and stress and tension off her shoulders. Limhi Jong needs to say par on hole 18. She’s got a nine underscore and she could finish with that in her campaign this time around. I think she’ll be pleased with the performance uh you know today. She’s had six birdies in there. 33 on you know the back, 33 on the front. I think she’ll be very happy with how she’s uh performed here today. Now all eyes on these golfers. Kojiu, one of them had a very very interesting day at the office and I think it’s uh sits with that 10 under needs to save par on hole number 15. Well, just a tad bit impulsive, I think. Too much of a push. We’ll try and finish this off. That’s going to set her back a little bit. Here’s Lee Ew. We’ll aim for birdie on hold 14. And it’s going to be interesting to see how she navigates through this one. Will she be able to stretch that lead finally after all the holes that she’s played? I’m going to say that’s probably the fifth or the sixth time she’s come so close to getting the job done. needs a gentle tap in to clean it up and uh she’ll save power for this one. Still stays on that 12 under after 14 holes. Four more holes to go. It’s going to be an interesting one. An interesting finish here. Kojiu meanwhile. Well, she’s going to drop points as she bogies the 15th. Uh, you know, after having five birdies in there, she’s down to nine under. Shinu Jin looking for birdie on hole number 14. And she’s well moved up to nine under. That’s a third buddy for the day. Jian Saul wins the right to tee off after she birdied the previous hole. So she tees off for hole 16 144 m to cover. Not the most uh well scary of holes. Par three for the asking. It’s a long par three hole. You need to hit as long as possible. And that’s you’ve got to make the green from the tea off somehow or the other. And she’s just stepped outside and she knows it because if you can get to the green and she’s just hooked it a little bit. If you can get to the green then you definitely can aim for a birdie. Now let’s find out uh you know what Shinyu Jin can come up with. She’s on to tea off for hole 15. 340 m to cover. Well, that ball certainly zigzagged a little bit. Well, depends on what you hit on the course. Yes, Kimman be remember there’s a hole in one for this one for hole number 16. And as I can see that MercedesBenz logo right there, the E200 avangard. Definitely got that ball to get a bit of flight. Not a bad placement on the green, but would have liked to have got it closer to the flag stick. She knows it. And Jihan Sol missing out on it entirely. Got herself onto the rough. Now years on onto her next challenge as she tees off for hole number 15. Remember this is the powerful for the asking. 340 m to cover. And uh one of the things of course to remember with this very hole is it’s an interesting one depending on how you tee off. Now there’s a left slope that goes upwards. It’s a short metal hole and it looks fairly at a distance visually, but you’ve got to be careful of the mound that is behind the green for the second shot cuz if you hit that, it can be a worry and you’ve got to choose your club very carefully. Kojiu will also tee off for hole 16. Now, a hole in one prize there. I was looking for the car and there it is. Absolutely stunning. The E200 alarm card and that of course is a MercedesBenz. Beautiful car. So using the six iron, Kojiu will tee off. 144 m to cover. Let’s find out where she finishes on the green here. And I think she’s just got herself into a spot of trouble. Missing out on the flag stick. So very quickly let’s remind you Levon still leads the pack with that 12 under score. Hong Jun Min and Munjang Min still in tied second with 11 under. Kimman Bial has fallen into fourth with 10 under. Limi Jong Kojiu and Shinyu Jin are tied uh with uh in that sixth position. Stay with us. Don’t go anywhere as we continue with our coverage of the NH Investment and Securities Ladies Championship being played right here at the Suon Country Club in Gyongo, Korea Republic. And we’re going to stay with you right till the end of the event, right till the price presentation cuz this is turning out to be one of the more exciting events uh uh in the KPGA 2025 so far. That’s good placement from Lee on the 15th hole. Got herself onto the green in a good spot. Now, keep in mind the fact that we’re looking at four holes left for the leader and you’re also looking at Munjong Min who just uh well fell out with the previous hole to lose that joint leadership. She’s on a third stroke for hole 17 and uh she’s just got these two holes to play for uh you know to certify where or to confirm where she’s going to finish in the campaign or in her campaign of this event. Go needs to get out of the cat box. Second stroke on hole 16. That’s a crucial one. I’ll say well played. Well played to get herself out of a spot. But now saving P is going to be the important thing for her here on Jung. Third stroke for hole 17. 100 m to the hole. If she can nail a bird here, she also will tie in. But well placed there. Well, pushing it closer to the tin cup is so very important at this point of time, especially in the last few holes that you’ve got. Now, Kimman Biel also going through the motions. Uh, you know, in these last few holes, she’s at 10 under. Chance here for a birdie on hole 16. Oh, that is perfection. And that just shows a return to form. Kimman Bol had two bogeies on 13 and 14, a birdie on the 16. She’s up to 11 under. And that was so needed for this young golfer. 21 years old. She’s been at the top of a game here today. Had just two obstacles or bumps in the road, but she’s back in. So 11 under and still very much in contention of a tournament win and a challenger to the leader leave on two more holes to play for. It’s going to be interesting. Shinyu Jin is up next and she’s uh onto her third stroke. Go looking to save power for hole 16. And she’s just missed it. She’s just missed it. That ball just run wild. Well done there. Well done by Coojiu. even if she’s got a bogey, but she’s definitely got to keep herself within the navigational beacon of uh well her other competitors. Here’s Munjong Men. Can she nail a birdie from afar? She’s on to hole 17. So close yet so far, I’d say. Help. Lee aiming for birdie on hole 15. also has a bit of distance to cover. Well, that is stunning. That is absolutely stunning as she goes up to a 13 under. Only her second birdie, but so timely. Now, keep in mind the fact that it was also well Kim and Beiel who got a birdie uh you know just recently to go up to 11 under. And just when that happens, well, you’ve got Leon now stretching it from 12 under to 13 under. Just two birdies in the day. But what a timely one for her. absolutely beautiful. Now all the golfers be beginning to shine. Hong Jung Min has finished 17 holes. She’s got 12 under. She’s got one more hole to play for. She’s very much in contention of a top three finish here. Oh, what an event this is turning out to be and Shinyu Jin will save power here on hole 15. Well, this is exactly what the doctor ordered, you know. Positive finishes all around. Leon having a quick chat with the Caddy. Now, she’s got to progress very, very cautiously cuz she’s got she’s two ahead of the rest of the chasing pack. And I think she does know that every single hole now will count. You can’t afford to make any mistakes. It was a bit of a distance. That was a very wellcraftrafted well executed as well. And that ch from the crowd well just says it all. Very nicely done by Levonne at the right moment when she needed to step it up. You guys will tee off for hole 16. She’s going to go with the six iron. remember 144 m to cover. It’s a very very interesting uh hole cuz all you have to do is really hit big and that’s uh just got well a little bit too much of arm on it but she’s got herself onto the green still in line for a birdie there. Might be a tough ask but it’s not something that she can’t achieve after what she did in the previous one. Well, absolutely marvelous uh te off from Levonne and she’s just beginning to look now a lot more confident. Well, that bounce carrying the ball a little bit further than she would have wanted, but I think she’s just done well with it. Kimman Bjol, she’ll have to do extremely well with these two with the hole 17 and hole 18. There’s going to be no room for error if she wants to stay in that top three finish or probably even look at uh finishing top of the heap cuz right now it’s uh Leon who’s still queen B for the moment. Shinu Jin teeing off for hole 16. So Lee Wong continues to lead the way now with that 13 under. Hongjun wins with 12 under. Uh Lee won of course has a two-hole advantage over Hongjun Min. Munjang men and Kim Minbol tied in third with 11 under. And uh this contest has been a very interesting one. But all said and done, Lee Wong is still keeping her title defense alive. Remember, she is the defending champion getting into this event and it will be interesting to see well how she finishes. Well, she had a very very good uh you know event last year. And she’s also got the opportunity to finish pretty big here today. You always think about those final moments and who you know can come up with the goods and it all boils down to who can win the battle. of uh well nerves in the final round. That is so very important. So very crucial time where our golfers do have to put on their thinking cap. Here’s Munjang Men. She’s on to her last well hole of the day. Very important for her. Going in with a power wedge. 111 m to cover. Kim and goal. Third stroke on hole 17. And she has to progress carefully, too, cuz well, now that’s so important for her. If she drops points, if she bogeies, it’s just going to set herself into a bad spot. That smile says it all. She was aiming to get closer to Walter Cup, but well, that’s how it plays out in the end. So ears leave on hole number 16 aims for birdie and if she nails a birdie here she’s got one foot across the finish line. Won this event last year with a 13 under par score and that ball’s just shy of the dark. There’s no doubt about it. It’s just going to peek over. Well, she almost nailed it here. She doesn’t have too much to worry about cuz it’s still a decent enough finish for her. Here’s Kojiu. Third stroke for hold 17. Oh, that is beautiful placement from Kojiu. She’s another exciting golfer to watch like Hang Yu Min. Uh, you know, they can really come up with these amazing well moments. Jihan Saul third stroke on hold 17. She’s carrying a seven under pass score. Also very good placement on the green from her. Mjang Min, she looked to have been well challenging the top spot uh in this event. Needs to finish with the birdie if she wants to nail that 12 under otherwise she’ll still be well stuck behind the leader. This will be her last effort for the day. And it looks like she’s just going to be forced into well saving part more than anything else. Lee getting ready to tee off here now for hole number 17. It’s a par five that we’re looking at. 510 m to cover. Um not the easiest of holes and this can be a bit of a well worry. There are obies on the left and right. Now what Levon has done is as you can see she’s aimed it slightly to the left. And I think that’s the right way to go cuz the second shot now also has to be slightly to the left. It’s a difficult course. Uh you know where even if you like to drive it long and hard, it can lead to trouble and uh it requires precision shots to save power. So she’s got to plan each and every shot going ahead. No free flow, no loose ended shots. Here’s Kimman Bol needs to finish with a birdie on hold 17 to give herself a shot at the win. And I think that that that might just prove to be a tad bit expensive for her. She can finish and save par, but uh that wouldn’t have been well the intention here. So she will keep that 11 under. She’s just got one more hole to play for and that’ll be a crucial one for her men. That’s her last hole of the day as well. A very good chance for her to finish with the 12 under score. She’ll have to earn it, no doubt. And it’s not going to be easy. And she’s just missed out on that. Coojiu. She’s delighted in the contest as always with her exploits. Oh, what a miss. What an absolute miss here. Not too pleased about that. Well, I wouldn’t be either. She’s had such a nice day otherwise. Mjang Min looking to finish on par for hole number 18. And Munjang win finishes with 30 on the front, 35 on the back. She had an eagle on the front as well. 11 under for the counter. Well, she could have finished with the 12 under, just missed out on that, but I don’t think she’s going to be too displeased about it. Um, you know, having said that with some of her golfers already ending well their events, uh, just a quick look at how it’s, uh, well panned out here in the final round. So, Levon still at the top with 13 under. Honjung with 12 under. Honjung of course has completed her day’s event. Uh she had 17 the first round, 17 the second round. And I think it’s very interesting that she’s finished with a score of 12 under in second position after she had the toughest day yesterday. Munjong Min has also finished her event with 11 underscore. Kimmanol is still in there. She’s on her 18th hole. Honjung Min here she is looking to save par and she finishes today’s event with 7070 in the first and second round and 64 in the final round. What a performance from her today and more power to her uh and every chance of her finishing second best or runner up in this tournament. Not taking anything away from Kim Beiel who’s still on that 11 under and maybe an opportunity for her to also shine. Well, not doing herself too many favors in these last few rounds, but she did come back with a very strong finish just a while back. came and build. Oh, what a beautiful shot that is. That drone shot. Absolutely marvelous. Uh, you know, giving us a view of uh well the thicket there, you know, those those trees, the greens and uh the different colors and shades. And yesterday, of course, it did look alive with the rain where all the trees were really beginning to shine. Leave on second stroke for hole 17. She’s still the leader and she’s still on that 13 under score. Trying to gain a bit of distance here. Shiny chin. Second stroke for hole 17. So, we’re pretty much coming to the end of this contest. If you were expecting to see well a tiebreaker or you know a decider at the end well currently it doesn’t look like it’s going to happen cuz the only challenger there now for Leon unless Leon makes a drastic mistake is uh Kimman Bol having said that Kimman Bjol uh is really uh just has you know a disadvantage of one hole as compared to Leon and she’s still two points behind And so it’s interesting to see how this tournament will finish off. But set settling herself in a very strong position. There was Hong Jun Min. I think she’s been the most consistent performer of today. But Munjong Min and Kim Bol have been the most uh well delightful performers or golfers to watch in terms of uh their display of skill today. They’ve had their ups and their downs. more ups than downs actually, but it just takes one or two bogies to change things around and that’s what we’ve seen. So, we’ve had some amazing uh you know moments in this golf tournament. Let’s very quickly remind you once again before we get to the finish that this is the 2025 uh NH Investment and Securities Ladies Championship where Levonne was the winner in 2024 with a finish of 13 under and uh currently she sits in a very similar position uh you know on the verge of defending her championship. She’s been uh the lady, the queen bee in control uh you know of this entire course. And uh Kimman Biel that uh well amazing golfer she’s given us some great moments here today. She’s still there in the running. And then you’ve got Shinyu Jin Kojiu and Hongjun Min who also been shining along with that one particular golfer Hongjun Min who has been the hardest worker here today. Shin Chinu Jin third stroke for hole number 17. Oh, Lee won her third stroke for whole 17. She’s still on that 13 under. It’ll be Deja Vu all over again if she wins by this score. And she’s got herself onto the green. I don’t think she’s got any reason to worry. Kimman Bol onto her last hole and once again well just missing out on getting onto the green. She’s had her worries in these last few uh you know holes but she did come back with a birdie and she knows it. You know, if you miss out on the opportunity, well, he isn’t going to knock on your door all over again. Who would you That is some good placement by Kojiu. Well, if you just look back at the couple of wins that we’ve had, we started off the year with Pacqu uh you know, getting the better of Coojiu to win the Blue Canyon Ladies Championship on the 16th of March and that was followed by the Ducan ENC weave championship where Leon was very uh you know dominating in that and that was the seventh title in the KPGA and then you’ve got Kimju uh who did win on 13th of April with the IM Financial Group Open. She was absolutely in fine form. Bangshin came into her own with the next in Saint N Masters on the 20th of April to win her third KPGA event and then Kim Manson claimed her first uh on the 27th of April at the Dukshin EPC championship. Hongjun Min won only her second uh world title and uh this was a big one for her when she picked up the Chris FNC KLBJ championship on the 4th of May and that was a big one. It was uh 1 billion 300 uh million uh the the tournament or rather 1.3 well billion to be precise. We were just talking about her. Kimmanju started off strong, you know, kind of a struggle along the way. Here she’s down to well getting into the last hole of play, but right now Kimman Bol is still in well the contest. Uh not in a very strong position to uh take those points forward, but you can never say on any given day things can change. So, we’ll wait and watch. Here’s Leon. Aims for birdie on hold 17. She’s still with that 13 under. If she can’t nail a birdie, she will look at saving Paw. Oh, what a narrow miss. And she will save par and keep her points intact at 13 under. She’s got one more hole to play for Levon. That’s when well everyone’s heart skipped a beat. Mine included, not just Leon. here. Kimman Bol needs to get it in from a distance that was never going to be easy and she will look to finish on par. We’ll have to work it well, but she was the main challenger today. But as I said on a course things can change and your destiny can take a different course altogether. Sorry I had to say that. Well Shinyu Jin aiming for birdie on hole number 17. She’s got a nine under. Can upgrade her score here. almost does it for her. She’ll tap that in for an easy finish. Cojiu needs to aim for birdie. And that’s got to be a very painful miss. An absolutely painful miss. But she’ll still finish with 73, 66, and 69. Just faltering towards the end. An 800 score for Kotu, but always delightful to watch. And here we are with the leader of the pack, Lee. Ivonne gets ready to tee off for hole number 18. She’s got well, Kimman Jew also there with her. Um it hasn’t been the best one for Kim and Ju today. Would have loved to have you know done a lot better. Now we’re looking at the clubhouse and this is of course pretty much the last bit of play that we can expect. Anything can change but having said that if Lee won can keep those points intact it’ll be deja vu all over again. Now there’s OB on both sides. Uh there’s a water hazard 100 yards to the left and you have to tee off to the left of the bunker on the right. Longd distance hitters can benefit as they go towards the green. It’s a hole that most golfers enjoy to play. It’s got a steep downhill course. There are obstacles of bunkers and roads, you know, crossing the course between the midpoint and the green. There are deep bunkers on the left front of the left green and the right front of the right part of the green. So, it’s a hole that requires accurate shots. Kimman Bol looks to save par on her last and final hole of the tournament. And if she can finish this well, she will stay with that 11 score. And yes, she has. So Kimbiel, it’s been a performance from her. She’s been delightful towards 38 on the front, 36 on the back. Those two bogeies really marring a performance or she could have finished right there at the top with Lee Won and pushed this into a tiebreaker or a decider. So Kim Bol finishing tied third with Munjong Min with 11 under. Hong Jung has still confirmed his second position with 12 under and only if Lee Ewan falters in this will it be pushed into a decider. Shiny Jin also teeing off for her last hole. Kimju teeing off as well. Lee one literally marching towards that win. Well, there you can see that exodus. That’s what I always call it, the traveling of people from one area to the other. And there’s a ton of people. It’s such a big crowd here today. It’s been such a delightful finale uh you know to get so many uh to come across. Absolutely wonderful. Wasn’t really expecting uh you know I was expecting a big crowd but so many Well, that’s another story entirely. Thank you. Yeah, I come. So very interesting to look at how this tournament is going to finish. Uh might be a bit predictable if Lee won can keep herself uh you know together can hold her own. But let’s find out. Let’s find out how this will turns out. There’s the 128 m to the whole Kimmanju. It’s an under 6.2 uh elevation that we’re looking at. Here’s Leon. Oh, this is so important for her. That is terrific placement for her. She’s actually set herself up for something big here. Hong Jung still there. Remember she’s got that 12 underscore Shinyu Jin in that group with uh well Kimju and uh Leeon. Second stroke for hole 18 112 m that she’s looking to cover. And that’s well played. So it’s certainly turning out to be a fine finish here for everybody. I try. As we approach the clubhouse, always that familiar feeling. Some uh you know, well, golfers will have butterflies in their stomach at this part. Some will just cruise along confidently. Thank you. Lee won’t just quickly glancing well not her notes. She definitely knows how she’s finished here. Jihan Saul just sharing a few laughs with uh you know her friends and rivals. Gimmanu aiming for birdie on hole 18. An onpar finish might be a better option. Thank you. Well, you’ve got two greens there as you can see with the out playing on the slightly smaller one. Not too much of a difference. Leave on a picture of concentration here as she plays out a final moment. Could be her final putt. Oh, that is marvelous. And she knows she’s claimed it. That is an exceptional finish from Lee. Oh, what a way to go. A birdie on the final moment. A birdie on her final bit of action. And that is such a phenomenal way to finish it. Did get the victory lap. And she knows she’s claimed it. She knows she’s defended a title and she’s even better to score. Finished with 13 underpower last year to win the tournament and this year, well, that’s the winning putt. It’s a 14 underpower finish for her. It really doesn’t get better than this. What a performance from Lee Bon. And that’s going to be her second well, you know, win off of the year after she won the Dan Weave Championship. Shinyu Jin will also finish with the birdie 7266 and 68 in the final round at 10 underscore and she finishes tied fifth. You’ve still got well Kimju to finish off well her event. What a fantastic performance from uh from Levonne. 65 on the first round, 68 on the second round. Kimju looking to save power for hole 18. Kim and Ju finishes with 6771 and 71 and a 700 score. And Leon is definitely going to get dowed with a good amount of cold water. There’s no doubt about it. And there she goes. It’s a terrific win by her. She was in control of this event. And there she is with a very good pile. Little no place for tears with the water. Just claiming that. But what an event. What an event. uh second win of the year and what a terrific way to do it. Uh she was as I said very much in control of this uh you know tournament right through and uh you know finished off with a total of 202 points. There we go. 65 68 and 69. Total points 202. And you compare that to last year where she finished with 66, 69, and 68. She had a total score of 13 under. So last year it was 203 points with 66,69 and 68 and a 13 under power finish. This year 65, 68, and 69. It’s even better. 202 points with a 14 under pass score. So leave on really shining here today. And uh well I must say I’m really delighted cuz I was there the last time she won and that was uh uh you know very very interesting. It was at the Ducan ENC we’ve championship on the 6th of April uh where she won her seventh title. Today being her eighth title but what a way to go. Look at that again. You know 202 points 65 68 69 uh you know on round 1 2 and three and a 14 under finish. terrific, terrific win and her fans are here in full glory. She’s got family, friends, um you know, absolutely wonderful performance from um this young golfer. Absolutely fantastic and just what was needed. Uh don’t forget we’ve got uh well the next event coming up is the Ducan match play and that again is a 1 billion Korean one event and that will happen on the 18th of May followed by the 25th of May when the E1 charity open kicks in and that’s a 900 million event and then the Suyuk Bank MBN ladies open which is 1 billion Korean one kicks off on the 1st of June. So, a lot of events still uh to go in the KPGA calendar and uh if you ask me, we are just getting started. It’s been such an event. Our big winners this year have been Pako Kong, Kim Mju, Bangshin Sil, and Kim Mansun and Hong Jun Min. But the biggest so far has been Leeon cuz this is the only golfer to have won two events this year. Uh first it was that 1.2 2 billion uh Ducson ENC we’ve championship and uh this time of course it is the NH investment and securities ladies championship. Do stay with us cuz uh you know our winning golfer the queen bee of this uh course uh in 2025 will have a few words uh for the fans for the audience and for all those that uh you know follow the tournament and follow her and that’ll be followed by the prize presentation. Don’t go anywhere as we continue with our coverage of this event. Just to remind you once again, this is the 2025 NH Investment in Securities Ladies Championship. This is uh pretty much the seventh event uh of the year in the KPGA calendar and uh to be precise, the sixth if you take Ducan ENC as the first. My name is Glenn Mascarinus. I’ve been with you from round one and I’m going to stay with you till the end of the price presentation. So do stay with us and don’t go anywhere. So just a final look at our leaderboard. Levonne capping it off with a win there with 69 on her final round and a 14 underscore overall finish. Hong Jong Men finishing second with 12 under. Munjong men and Kim uh Menbiel finishing tied third with 11 under. So those are our main golfers in this event who finished at the top. There will be of course uh you know honors for the rookie of the event. There will be honors for the best play. So do stay with us to find out. What’s there. Come down there. You swing. It’s also Fore! Foreign! Foreign! A few words there from Lee. he won and uh you know very humbled in victory as always. She’s really a lovely girl, a really awesome golfer to watch in action and uh well all the Korean go golfers are always a great deal of respect, always a good amount of humility uh when it comes to you know even claiming the win. There’s never a boast but it’s always about talking about how you know your other contenders were also at the top of their game and how you would have fought uh in the day. very quickly a look at some of the best moments uh that we’ve had today. Let’s look at the seventh hole. And that was an absolutely stunning finish that we saw there that took her up to fourth position. We had some really fantastic moments on the fourth hole. Kimman Bol had those consecutive birdies flying all around needed to finish this well on the fifth hole. She was really the golfer to watch in that first nine. Got such an amazing finish from her. So five consecutive birdies that she picked up. Then on the sixth hole, Kim and Beiel back again. And she’d already moved up to second position. She was challenging the top spot, opening up with six birdies in the final round. And that’s something that is not seen too often. She had a perfect score really to begin with. Then on the eighth hole, Munjang Min well giving us her silent work. Missed out on nailing an eagle, but she had a birdie in there and she was such a big mover as well. Leave on in on the sixth hole. Did not have too many birdies in the day, but she had them at the right time. And this was uh one of those that would have come by in the first well nine for her. Then she had one in the second nine. And finally on the finish, here’s Hanjung Min. She was in fifth position at the ninth hole. And she had that perfect placement. Set herself up for a birdie. And then Munjang men on the ninth hole. Uplifting her performance going up to a 10 under. It was she also had an eagle in there and four birdies on the front nine. She was the unsung hero really of this tournament. You know, while we had our eyes peeled on Kimman Boljong Bin was just working behind the scenes on the 11th hole. Hon to, you know, earn a birdie and she was at that time in tied fifth and then she moved up to fourth position uh you know and just kept pecking away at the top order. I think she’s been the greatest success story of this event. Hung Hong Jung Min and how to come from behind uh to claim a runner-up spot. Here’s Munjong Min. She almost had that wonderful eagle in there. And then on the 11th hole well landed up uh you know very soon boging a few as she went ahead and that’s what really marred her performance. On the 14th hole here Jjung men back again. very very consistent. Finished off really well and that was her seventh birdie of the day. What a performance from her you know to come from literally she was down and out yesterday on the 13th hole. Kimman Bol was still keeping it together and she just missed out on the birdie and that’s where really her trouble started. She was uh tied first here at this point of time, but then she bogeied the 13th and that would change her destiny in this very event. At the 15th hole, Munjong Min was in tied second and then she had that birdie which took up to the top position and she was tied first with Leon. That was a sixth birdie. And if you count that eagle in, well, that’s another story. But on the 16th hole, Kimbiel came back from two bogeies down to once again move up to 11 under. Definitely a glimmer of hope for her, but it would change and it would not stay the same. On the 15th hole, Levonne continued with her well consistent performance. Nailed the birdie at the right time to stretch that lead by one point and to go up to 13 unders. So birdie on the sixth, birdie on the 15. Just two birdies by the 15th hole. One in the front, one on the back nine. And what a way she spaced herself out. Honjung Min well nailed that birdie on hole number 17 and that took her to second position with the 12 underscore. Eight birdies from her today. What a performance from Hong Jung men. I really have admiration for that. And finally on the last and final hole, literally that semi victory lap and that hand raised will tell you a story. She knew she claimed it. 69 on the last day. Just three birdies today, but all at the right time. And uh Leon finishing with a 14 underscore. What a fantastic event it has been for Levon. Well, let’s uh well stay for the prize presentation and uh share the joy that Leon and the other golfers who finished in the top three will have. So Leeon right at the top, Honjung finishes second, Munjong Min and Kimman Bol finishing in tied third. very very interesting event. I did believe that Kim and Beiel would have provided the main well worry for Alon in that front n a performance of hers but in that back nine it was Leon all the way back again. See that? The Nongyom rice donation for needy neighbors. Well, that’s what we’re looking at. That’s the Leon support club that we’re looking at as well. and Leon, our winner for the day. It’s been a good one for her. Terrific outing. Terrific day at the office. And the winner’s jacket. Welld deserved. Welld deserved. And the trophy Leon earning it. You know that performance of us today. Nothing flash about it, but she did everything that was needed at the right time. And I think that timing is so very important, did not push herself, did not let the, you know, pressure get to her at any point of time. And I think that was really her winning formula. and 180 million Korean born. Well, that’s what she’ll take home. It’s about $128,679. Well, there’s prizes all around and it’s a the distribution of money is quite a bit. So, a 1 billion Korean War is the total prize money of the event. But the runners up also get the tied third also gets and so do the others in the fray. And that’s the signature of all the golfers who’ve been a part of it including the winner signature that goes in the center and that will be kept uh as a reminder and as in memory of this very event. So thank you so much for joining us to share uh you know the action of the NH investment in securities. World Ladies Championship in the KPJ 2025. We were coming at you live from the Suan Country Club in Gongido, Korea Republic. My name is Glenn Mascarinus and it’s time for me to shut up and ship out of here. I’ll catch you again in June with two events. But till then, don’t forget to stay tuned to the KPGA and uh supporters as always. Thank you once again and have a lovely rest of this weekend.
