Choi Hye-jin's fierce finishing power.

On the 15th, at the China Shanghai Qizhong Garden Golf Club (par 72, 6,691 yards), Choi shot an 8-under-par in the 4th round of the LPGA Tour 'Asian Swing' Buick LPGA Shanghai (total prize money $2.1 million) to finish tied for 3rd place (13-under-par 275). This is her best performance this season, surpassing her tied 8th place at the Maybank LPGA Classic in June.

Choi Hye-jin shot 8 under par in the final round of the Buick LPGA Shanghai, rising to a tie for 3rd place.

Starting from tied 24th place, 7 strokes behind, Choi displayed perfect play with 8 birdies and no bogeys. Her concentration stood out with her first birdie on the 4th hole (par 5) and a streak of 4 consecutive birdies from holes 8 to 11. After reducing one stroke again on the 13th hole (par 5), she finished the round on a high note with back-to-back birdies on the 17th and 18th holes. She powered her game with accurate shots, missing the fairway only once and the green twice.

Angel Yin (USA) reduced 2 strokes to tie with world No.1 Lydia Ko (USA) at 14-under-par 274, then secured the 'winning birdie' on the first hole of the playoff at the 18th hole (par 4). This marked her first career victory since debuting on the LPGA Tour in 2017, earning a winner's prize of $315,000 (approximately 430 million KRW). Ko settled for runner-up, failing to achieve her 4th win of the season.
