Lee Gippeum "Victory Trophy After 4 Years and 7 Months"

KLPGA Dream Tour Round 4 Victory Cheers
Bang Sin-sil and Kang Da-na2 'Tied 2nd, 1 Stroke Behind'

Lee Gippeum enjoyed the joy of victory for the first time in 4 years and 7 months.

On the 10th, at the final 2nd round of the 2023 Muan CC-All For You Dream (2nd division) Tour 4th round (total prize money 70 million KRW) held at Jeonnam Muan Country Club (par 72, 6,472 yards), Lee Gippeum added 3 under par with 4 birdies and 1 bogey to complete a one-stroke victory (9 under par 135). Lee Gippeum, who joined the Korea Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) in 2011, lifted the trophy for the first time in 4 years and 7 months after winning her first victory at the Dream Tour 18th round in October 2018. The winner's prize money is 10.5 million KRW.

Lee Gippeum played on the regular tour from 2019 to 2021 but struggled last year, dropping to 82nd in the prize money ranking, and also ranked low in the seed ranking tournament, so she is focusing on the Dream Tour this year. Lee said, "I'm happier because it's been a really long time since my last win," adding, "If I continue to play confidently, I think I can achieve good results in the remaining tournaments." She continued with a smile, "My goal is to steadily save prize money and return to the regular tour," and said, "I want to record two more wins in the remaining tournaments."

Bang Sin-sil, who is competing in both the Dream Tour and the regular tour, finished tied for 2nd place (8 under par 136). Last month, Bang Sin-sil showed powerful long drives and performed well, finishing tied for 4th at the major tournament Chris F&C 45th KLPGA Championship. Kang Dana2 finished tied for 2nd, while Park Seol-hwi, Park Su-jin2, and Jo Eun-chae finished tied for 4th (7 under par 137) to conclude the tournament.
