[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] Rookie Yoon Ina (19) achieved a 'wire-to-wire' victory.

On the 17th, at Lakewood Golf Club in Yangju, Gyeonggi Province (par 72, 6,539 yards), Yoon added 2-under par on the final day of the KLPGA Tour Ever Collagen Queens Crown (total prize money 800 million KRW) to secure a one-stroke victory (20-under par 268). She maintained the lead throughout the four days, shooting 7-under par on both the first and third days, delivering a perfect win. This was her first career victory in her 14th tournament appearance this year, earning 144 million KRW in prize money.

Starting with a two-stroke lead, Yoon recorded five birdies and three bogeys. She gained momentum with a birdie on the 2nd hole (par 3) and consecutive birdies on the 4th and 5th holes, but was abruptly halted by bogeys on the 7th and 9th holes. On the 14th hole (par 4), a tee shot mistake led to a bogey, allowing a tie for the lead. However, she changed the momentum with a birdie on the 15th hole (par 5) and sealed the victory with a 5.85-meter 'winning birdie' on the final 18th hole (par 4). She is the first rookie champion of the year.
