Golfer Kim Min-sun (Kim Min-sun 7) has secured her second win of the season by capturing the Korea Ladies Professional Golf (KLPGA) Tour Hana Financial Group Championship.

Playing the final round of the tournament at The Heaven CC in Daebu Island, Ansan, Gyeonggi Province, Kim shot a 4-under-par with five birdies and a bogey.

Finishing with a tournament total of 12-under-par, Kim claimed the title by beating runner-up Jang Eun-soo by a four-stroke margin.

Having claimed her maiden victory at the Dukshin EPC Championship in April of last year and her second win at the Nexen-Saintnine Masters in April of this year, Kim notched her third career victory and her second title of the season.

She has become the fourth multiple winner on this season's KLPGA Tour, following Seo Gyo-rim (four wins), Kim Min-sol (three wins), and Kim Hyo-joo (two wins).

Receiving 270 million won in prize money for the win, Kim surpassed 900 million won in total season earnings and climbed to third in the prize money rankings.

Jang Eun-soo, who achieved an emotional first victory 10 years after her debut at last month's Jeju Samdasoo Masters, finished alone in second place at 8-under-par, while Lee Se-hee, who fired a blistering 6-under-par in the final round, finished alone in third place at 7-under-par.

Eighteen-year-old amateur national team member Yang Yun-seo, who will compete in the upcoming Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, caused a sensation by tying for fourth place alongside Park Min-ji.

Seo Gyo-rim, who leads major categories this season including multiple wins (four), Player of the Year points, prize money rankings, and scoring average, wrapped up the tournament tied for 15th at even par.
