Jang Yu-bin Wins Hana Bank Invitational in Comeback Victory, Secures Back-to-Back Titles

Jang Yu-bin has claimed the top spot at the Korea Professional Golfers' Association (KPGA) Tour Hana Bank Invitational, marking his second consecutive victory.
In the final round held at Namchuncheon Country Club in Chuncheon, Gangwon Province, Jang shot a 5-under-par, recording six birdies and one bogey.
Starting the day in a tie for 6th place, three strokes behind the leader, Jang finished with a total of 10-under-par. He edged out Kim Min-jun (9-under-par total) by one stroke to secure the win, marking his second victory of the season and the fifth of his career. He received a winner's prize of 260 million won.
Jang, who won the Grand Prize and topped the prize money rankings in 2024, became the first Korean player to join the LIV Golf tour last year. After facing the high barrier of international competition, he returned to the domestic circuit this year. Following his first comeback win at the KPGA Classic last week, he has now achieved back-to-back victories and became the first player to reach two wins this season, demonstrating strong momentum.
With this win, Jang has also risen to first place in both the Genesis Grand Prize points and the prize money rankings.
Kim Min-jun finished in sole second place, one stroke behind Jang, while Lee Hyung-jun, Lee Sang-hee, and Bae Yong-jun tied for third at 7-under-par.
Kim Seong-hyun, who held the sole lead through the third round, struggled in the final round, dropping four strokes to finish in a tie for 10th place (4-under-par total).
