On the 6th, at the Sky72 Golf Club Ocean Course (par 72, 6,474 yards) in Yeongjongdo, Incheon, continuing the second day of the KLPGA Tour Hana Financial Group Championship (total prize money 1.5 billion KRW), she shot 4 under par to maintain the top of the leaderboard for two consecutive days (8 under par 136). Park Min-ji (22, NH Investment & Securities) is in 2nd place (7 under par 137), Ahn Na-rin (24, Moon Young Group) in 3rd place (6 under par 138), and Kim Ah-rim (25, SBI), Ji Han-sol (24, Dongbu Construction), and Choi Min-kyung (27, Huons) are tied for 4th place (4 under par 140).
Jang Hana started tied for first place with Ko Jin-young (25) by one stroke and made five birdies (one bogey). She gained momentum with a birdie on the 4th hole (par 4), back-to-back birdies on the 10th and 11th holes, and a birdie on the 13th hole (par 5), but a bogey on the 16th hole (par 4) was unfortunate. However, she added another birdie on the final 18th hole (par 5) thanks to a precise iron shot. Leading by one stroke, she is in position to achieve back-to-back wins for two consecutive weeks since last week's SK Networks Seoul Economic Ladies Classic.
