View original image[Asia Economy Reporter Noo Rae] ‘Domestic No. 1’ Park Min-ji (24, NH Investment & Securities) has achieved her second consecutive victory.
On the 15th, at Suwon Golf Club in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province (Par 72, 6,581 yards), Park Min-ji finished the final 3rd round of the KLPGA Tour NH Investment & Securities Ladies Championship (total prize money 800 million KRW) with a 2-under-par, securing a 1-stroke victory (11-under-par 205 strokes). Successfully defending her title, she received a winner's prize of 144 million KRW. This marks her 11th career win, coming 10 months after her victory at the Daebo House Open last July.
Park Min-ji started tied for the lead by 1 stroke, recording 5 birdies and 3 bogeys. She got off to an exciting start with a birdie on the 1st hole, and the bogey on the 6th hole was immediately recovered with a birdie on the 7th hole (both par 4s). She then added 3 more birdies on the 9th, 11th, and 13th holes, taking the top spot on the leaderboard. Although she made bogeys on the 15th (par 4) and 17th holes (par 5), these scores did not affect her victory. She powered her game with a powerful drive of up to 282.2 yards and precise iron shots.

Park Min-ji is a star who dominated the KLPGA Tour last year. Sweeping 6 wins in the season, she not only led in wins and the Player of the Year award but also became the first in KLPGA Tour history to surpass 1.5 billion KRW (1.52137 billion KRW) in season prize money. This year, she missed the 2022 season opener, the Lotte Rent-a-Car Ladies Open, due to COVID-19 and withdrew from the Nexen Saint Nine Masters due to aftereffects. Fortunately, she made a comeback by finishing tied for 4th at the KLPGA Championship and tied for 8th at last week's Kyochon Honey Ladies Open.
