On the 14th, at the High1 Resort Country Club in Jeongseon, Gangwon Province (par 72, 6,568 yards), Go Ji-woo added 3 under par in the 4th round of the KLPGA Tour High1 Resort Women's Open (total prize money 1 billion KRW) to win by 2 strokes (19 under par, 269 strokes). Since debuting on the KLPGA Tour in 2022 and winning her first title last July at the McCol·Mona Yongpyong Open, she secured her second career win after one year, with a winner's prize of 180 million KRW.
Go Ji-woo started the final round with a one-stroke lead and made three birdies on holes 1, 9, and 15 without any bogeys. Although she had been somewhat sluggish with three top-10 finishes in 16 tournaments this year, she ended the first half of the season on a high note with this victory. Go Ji-woo is a "sister golfer" competing on the KLPGA Tour alongside her younger sister Go Ji-won. A former national team reserve, she ranked second in rookie points on the 2022 KLPGA Tour. Behind her charming smile, she is known for her powerful long drives and aggressive play, earning her the nickname "Birdie Bomber."
