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

On the final day, when strong winds in Jeju caused difficulties for most players, Lee remained steady.

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.

Known for her dominance in the spring, Lee finished with a total of 12-under par, defeating Moon Jung-min to 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.

In men's golf, Bae Yong-jun emerged victorious after a playoff battle, securing his third career win.
