Ryu Hae-ran, who secured two wins in major tournaments on the U.S. LPGA Tour this season, has also claimed victory at the domestic major, the Hite Jinro Championship.

Ryu mastered the Blue Heron Golf Club course, which is notorious for its difficulty.

She widened the gap against her pursuers by successfully sinking challenging birdie putts in a row on the 4th, 6th, and 10th holes.

Then, she sealed the win with a picture-perfect shot on the par-3 16th hole.

Ryu was the sole player to finish under par with a total of 4-under par, pulling 4 strokes ahead of the runner-up group to raise her arms in triumph.

This marks Ryu's first victory on the KLPGA Tour in 4 years and 5 months, and her 6th career win overall.

At the men's golf KJ Choi Invitational, Wang Jeung-hun, who holds three European Tour victories, claimed the top spot at a total of 10-under par.

This is Wang's first-ever victory in a KPGA tournament.
