[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Taewon] Seo Yoseop (26) won the Korean Professional Golf Association (KPGA) Korean Tour LX Championship (total prize money 600 million won) with a final total of 22 under par 266 strokes.

This is his second consecutive victory following last month's Bodyfriend Phantom Robo Gunsan CC Open (total prize money 500 million won). Winning two consecutive tournaments on the Korean Tour is the first time in two years since Kim Hanbyeol (26) won the 2020 Hedgeis Golf KPGA Open and Shinhan Donghae Open back-to-back in September 2020.

On the final day of the tournament, the 4th round held on the 4th at Island CC in Ansan, Gyeonggi Province (par 72, 7,318 yards), Seo Yoseop shot 5 birdies and 1 bogey for a 4 under par 68.

With his 5th career tour win, Seo Yoseop added 120 million won in prize money, bringing his season earnings to 315.63 million won. He ranks 6th in the prize money standings.

He also achieved a wire-to-wire victory, maintaining the lead from the first day of the tournament to the last. This season, Seo Yoseop is the second player to achieve a wire-to-wire win on the KPGA Korean Tour, following Bae Yongjun (22) at the Honors K·Solago CC Han Jangsang Invitational in July.

Seo Yoseop showed excellent form throughout the tournament. After the 3rd round, he led by 8 strokes over the tied second-place players, effectively securing the victory. Although second-place Kim Taeho (27) narrowed the gap to 5 strokes on the final day, it did not pose a significant threat to Seo Yoseop.
