Lee Ye-won, often dubbed the "Queen of Spring" for her exceptional strength in the spring season in women's golf, has clinched her first-ever victory in November, marking her 11th career win.

On the final day, when most players struggled against strong winds in Jeju, Lee remained unshaken.

After sinking a birdie putt of over 5 meters on the 2nd hole to take the lead, she maintained her composure until the very end.

Lee, who has been uniquely dominant in the spring, finished at 12-under par to edge out Moon Jung-min and taste victory in November for the first time since her debut.

This marks her second win of the season and the 11th of her career.
