On the 4th, Ji-hyun Oh rose to 3rd place (6-under 138) by shooting 3-under par on the second day of the KLPGA Tour S-OIL Championship held at Elysian Golf Club in Jeju City, Jeju Island (par 72, 6711 yards), despite strong winds. Jeong Yeon-joo (30) and Na Hee-won (28) share the lead at 7-under par 137, while domestic No. 1 Min-ji Park (24) is in 4th place at 4-under par 140, three strokes behind, continuing the chase.

Starting from a tie for 11th place, five strokes behind, Ji-hyun Oh recorded three birdies without any bogeys. She made two birdies on the front nine at holes 4 and 8, and added another birdie on the 13th hole (both par 4s) on the back nine. This marks her 8th career victory, her first in 1 year and 3 months since winning the Samdasoo Masters last August. Ji-hyun Oh currently ranks 23rd in the prize money standings with 382,897,000 KRW. She is soon to marry Si-woo Kim (27), who plays on the PGA Tour next month.

Jeong Yeon-joo, who was the leader the previous day, lost one stroke and faltered. Min-ji Park, the top prize money earner (1,271,560,000 KRW), exchanged two birdies for two bogeys and could not reduce her score. She is 210 million KRW ahead of Su-ji Kim (26), who ranks second in prize money (1,057,380,000 KRW). If Min-ji Park finishes this tournament with a better result than Su-ji Kim, she will claim the ‘Prize Money Queen’ title for the second consecutive year. Su-ji Kim advanced to the third round tied for 45th place (2-over par 146).

Hee-jung Lim (22), Jeong-min Hong (20), Ji-hyun Kim (31), Min-joo Kim (20), and Ye-rim Choi (23) are tied for 5th place (3-under par 141). Defending champion Ji-young Park (26) and ‘Runner-up for the Grand Prize’ Hae-ran Yoo (21) are tied for 13th place (2-under par 142), progressing steadily. So-mi Lee (23), last week’s winner of the SK Networks·Seoul Economy Ladies Classic, is tied for 23rd place (even par 144). Yun-ji Jeong and Hyun-kyung Park (both 22) are also in this group.
