[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] Defending champion Park Min-ji (24) has achieved back-to-back victories.


On the 12th, at the final 3rd round of the KLPGA Tour Celltrion Queens Masters (total prize money 1 billion KRW) held at Seolhaewon The Legend Course in Yangyang, Gangwon Province (par 72, 6,633 yards), she added one eagle to secure a wire-to-wire victory (14 under par 202). Following last month's NH Investment & Securities Ladies Championship, she successfully defended her title for the second time this season. This marks her second win of the season and 12th career victory, with a winner's prize of 180 million KRW.



Park Min-ji became the fourth player in KLPGA Tour history to defend two or more titles in a single season. The late Ku Ok-hee was the first, achieving back-to-back wins in the 1982 Suwon Open, Donghae Open, and KLPGA Championship. Afterwards, Kang Soo-yeon (46) defended titles twice in 2001 at the Korea Women's Open and Hite Cup, and Kim Hae-rim (33) won consecutive titles in 2017 at the Kyochon Honey Ladies Open and KB Financial Star Championship.
