Victory After 7th Hole-in-One at Kyochon Ladies Open
Secures Tour Card Through 2025: "I'll Play More Comfortably from Now On"

In her third year, Park Bo-gyeom made new history.

On the 7th, Park Bo-gyeom finished the final second round of the KLPGA Tour Kyochon Ladies Open (total prize money 800 million won) at Busan Asiad Golf Course (par 72, 6,565 yards) with a 4-under-par, securing a 3-stroke victory (7-under-par 137). She earned her first win in 60 tournaments since joining the regular tour in 2021, receiving prize money of 144 million won. This tournament was originally scheduled for 54 holes but was reduced to 36 holes due to severe weather conditions.

Park Bo-gyeom made a hole-in-one on the 16th hole (par 3, 153 yards). She received a luxury bed worth approximately 50 million won as a prize. She became the seventh player in history to win a tournament after making a hole-in-one, following Lee Mi-na, Lee Ga-na, Shin Ji-ae, Ham Young-ae, Kim Se-young, and Ko Jin-young. Park Bo-gyeom cheered, "I used an 8-iron, and the ball rolled about 5 meters into the hole."

Park Bo-gyeom was introduced to golf in Saipan when she was in the second year of middle school. In 2020, she ranked 10th in the Dream (2nd division) Tour prize money rankings and earned her card for the first division tour the following year. Last year, she ranked 61st in prize money and placed 33rd in the seed ranking tournament, securing a partial seed. She is currently competing in both the regular tour and the Dream Tour this year. With this tournament victory, she secured her seed until the 2025 season. Park Bo-gyeom expressed her joy, saying, "I am happier because this win was unexpected," and added, "I no longer have to worry about my seed. I can play comfortably starting next week."
