On the 29th, at the South Springs Golf Club Mountain-Lake Course (par 72, 6,546 yards) in Icheon, Gyeonggi Province, during the second day of the KLPGA Tour E1 Charity Open (total prize money 800 million KRW), she scored 5 under par, maintaining her position at the top of the leaderboard for the second consecutive day (13 under par, 131 strokes). Ha Min-song (25, Lotte) is in second place (12 under par, 132 strokes), and Anna Lin (25, Moonyoung Group) is in third place (11 under par, 133 strokes), continuing the chase.
Jihan Sol started tied for the lead and collected six birdies (one bogey). She made two pairs of consecutive birdies on holes 6-7 and 10-11. Although her birdie on the 14th hole (par 3) was offset by a bogey on the 15th hole (par 4), she reduced her score by one stroke again on the 17th hole (par 3). Leading by one stroke, she seized the opportunity for her second career win since her victory at the ADT Caps Championship in November 2017. She has been on a steep rise, finishing runner-up at the Kyochon Honey Ladies Open on the 9th and third place at last week's Doosan Match Play.
