On the 20th, at South Springs CC in Icheon, Gyeonggi Province (par 72, 6,634 yards), Park surged with a 6-under-par round in the final 4th round of the KLPGA Tour SangSangin·Hankyung WowNet Open (total prize money 1.2 billion KRW) to secure a one-stroke victory (15-under-par 273). This marks her second career win, coming 1 year and 5 months after her first regular tour victory at the Kyochon Ladies Open last May. Her winner's prize money is 216 million KRW.
Starting from a tie for 8th place, 4 strokes behind, Park racked up 7 birdies and 1 bogey. She took the lead by making two separate streaks of three consecutive birdies on holes 6 to 8 and 10 to 12. Then, on the 15th hole (par 4), she sank a 5.5-meter birdie putt to move 2 strokes ahead of the runners-up and seize control of the tournament.
