This is an "alternative tournament" created for players who could not participate in the 151st Open Championship, the oldest major tournament. It was conducted using a modified Stableford scoring system, where points are awarded based on performance on each hole. Eagle is 5 points, birdie 2 points, par 0 points, bogey -1 point, and double bogey -3 points.

Akshay Bhatia scored 9 points with 7 birdies, 2 bogeys, and 1 double bogey, tying with Patrick Rodgers (both from the USA) at 40 points, then secured the winning par on the first playoff hole resumed at the 18th hole (par 4). This marked his first victory in 36 regular tour events since turning professional in 2019. The winner's prize money was $684,000 (approximately 880 million KRW).

Rodgers, who had led by 1 point until the previous day, settled for his fourth runner-up finish overall. Julien Guerrier (France) and Jens Dantorp (Sweden) tied for 3rd place (37 points), Ryan Gerard finished 5th (36 points), and James Hahn (both from the USA) ended the tournament tied for 6th place (35 points). Justin Suh (USA) tied for 34th place (28 points).
