On the 27th, Hanjinseon made a hole-in-one on the 17th hole (par 3, 170 yards) of the San-gil and Sup-gil courses (par 72, 6,570 yards) at Lakewood Country Club in Yangju, Gyeonggi Province, during the first round of the KLPGA Tour major Chris F&C 45th KLPGA Championship (total prize money 1.3 billion KRW).

At this hole, The Class Hyosung offered a Mercedes-Benz electric car, The New EQE, worth 92 million KRW as the hole-in-one prize. Hanjinseon has participated in four tournaments this season and earned 24.27 million KRW in prize money. With this hole-in-one, she earned nearly four times the prize money she has made this year.

Last season, she entered the top 10 eight times, including one victory, finishing 17th in the prize money rankings with 441.2 million KRW. This season, her best result is a tie for 26th place at the Hana Financial Group Singapore Ladies Open.
