Im Jin-hee's fierce finishing power.

On the 14th, Im Jin-hee secured a one-stroke victory (15-under 201) by shooting 4-under 68 in the final 4th round of the NH Investment & Securities Ladies Championship (total prize money 800 million KRW) held at Suwon Country Club New Course (par 72, 6,586 yards) in Yongin, Gyeonggi-do, as part of the Korea Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) Tour. This marks her third career win, her first in 10 months since the McCol·Monapark Open last July, with a winner's prize of 144 million KRW.

Starting as a co-leader two strokes behind, Im Jin-hee collected five birdies and one bogey. After her first birdie on the 4th hole (par 5), she made a bogey on the 7th hole (par 4) but immediately recovered with a birdie on the 8th hole (par 5). In the back nine, birdies on the 11th hole (par 5) and consecutive birdies on the 17th and 18th holes sealed her one-stroke victory.

Park Ji-young, the 'top money earner,' surged with a 6-under 66 to finish second (14-under 202). Bang Shin-sil, who led by one stroke, settled for a tie for third place (13-under 203) after consecutive bogeys on the 17th and 18th holes. Following her joint 4th place finish in her debut major at the Chris F&C KLPGA Championship, Bang Shin-sil's entry into the 'top 3' signals the rise of a super rookie. Lee Ye-won, winner of the domestic season opener Lotte Rent-a-Car Ladies Open, also tied for third.

Son Ye-bin and Kim Su-ji tied for fifth place (10-under 206), while Hong Jung-min and Lee Chae-eun tied for seventh (9-under 207), showing strong performances. Defending champion Park Min-ji, aiming for a third consecutive win, finished tied for ninth (8-under 208). Lee Da-yeon, winner of the KLPGA Championship, also joined this group.
