Seo Gyo-rim has won the second major tournament of the domestic women's professional golf circuit following a playoff, securing her first-ever major title and taking the sole lead in multi-wins.

Starting the final round with a three-stroke lead over second-place Kim Min-sol, Seo dropped four strokes through the 10th hole, handing a one-stroke lead to Kim.

Seo seized an opportunity when Kim stumbled with a bogey on the par-3 16th hole, grabbing a birdie to return to a tie for the lead and forcing the match into a playoff.

While Kim made a major mistake on her second shot in the playoff and settled for par, Seo secured the victory by landing a fantastic iron shot for a birdie.

Claiming her career-first major title with a final total of 8-under par, Seo earned her fourth win of the season, surpassing Kim Min-sol's three wins to take the sole lead in the multi-win category.
