On the 6th (local time), in the officially announced weekly women's golf world rankings, she earned 2.17 points, climbing 8 spots from 47th place last week. She secured points by winning the KLPGA Tour Kyochon 1991 Ladies Open (total prize money 800 million KRW) by 2 strokes, which concluded on the 5th at Golfzon County Seonsan in Gumi, Gyeongbuk (par 72, 6602 yards). This is her second win of the season following last month's Mediheal·Hankook Ilbo Championship, marking her 9th career victory, with a winner's prize of 144 million KRW. She is leading in both prize money (424.88 million KRW) and points (178) early in the season.
