Son Yeon-jung Wins KLPGA Dream Tour Event No. 16

Son Yeon-jung has claimed her first-ever victory on the Dream Tour, the second-tier circuit of the Korea Women's Professional Golf (KLPGA) tour.

In the final second round of the KLPGA 2026 East One & Ocean Beach Dream Tour Event No. 16 held today (Sept. 1) at Ocean Beach Golf & Resort in Yeongdeok, North Gyeongsang Province, Son shot 6-under-par to finish with a tournament total of 13-under-par, securing the title.

The winner's prize is 10.5 million won.

Son, who was a member of the national development team in 2019 and has bounced back and forth between the regular and dream tours, achieved her maiden Dream Tour victory.

Reflecting on her win, Son said, "I went through a difficult time due to a wrist injury I sustained in 2021. This victory is even more meaningful because I overcame those hardships." She added, "I will work hard to finish within the top 15 in the prize money rankings, which grants seed rights for the 2027 regular tour, and my long-term goal is to become a player who can win on the regular tour."
