Starting from a one-stroke tie for second place, Park Bo-gyeom recorded a hole-in-one (eagle), four birdies, and two bogeys. After a bogey on the 10th hole (par 4), she immediately recovered with a birdie on the 11th hole (par 5), then made a hole-in-one on the 16th hole (par 3, 153 yards). In the back nine, she secured birdies on the 3rd hole (par 3) and consecutive birdies on the 5th and 6th holes, ultimately taking the top spot on the leaderboard. Although she made a bogey on the 7th hole (par 4), it did not affect her victory.
Park Bo-gyeom joined the KLPGA Tour in 2017 and earned her first division tour card by ranking 10th in the 2020 Dream (2nd division) Tour money rankings, entering the regular tour the following year. Her previous best result was 5th place at the Elkru-TV Chosun Pro Celebrity in September 2021.
