Haeran Ryu and Choi Hye-jin Tie for Runner-Up After Narrow One-Stroke Deficit

South Korean golfers Haeran Ryu and Choi Hye-jin tied for runner-up at an LPGA tour event held in South Korea.

Haeran Ryu, who held a four-stroke lead through the third round, struggled to find her rhythm, allowing Japan's Yuri Yoshida to pull off a comeback.

Trailing by two strokes, Ryu finally grabbed her first birdie on the 17th hole, catching up with Yoshida—who finished the round with a bogey—to share the lead.

If Ryu had made a birdie on the final hole, she could have secured a come-from-behind victory, and even a par would have forced a playoff. However, a costly mistake led to a bogey, dashing those hopes.

Choi Hye-jin also had a chance to force a playoff, but her birdie putt on the final hole narrowly missed the cup.

Yoshida claimed the championship by a margin of just one stroke, while Haeran Ryu and Choi Hye-jin finished tied for second place.
