She gained points by finishing tied for 5th place-her best result of the year-at the Kroger Queen City Championship (total prize money: 2 million dollars) on the LPGA Tour, held the previous day at TPC River's Bend (par 72) in Hamilton Township, Ohio, USA. Kim Seyoung is currently on a strong run, having finished in the top 10 in three consecutive tournaments.
