Chun In-gee Signals Comeback Despite Missing Out on Title

Chun In-gee finished in 4th place at the U.S. Women's Open, a major tournament in women's golf.

Although she narrowly missed the championship, she signaled a resurgence, shaking off a long slump.

Chun surged to a two-stroke lead at one point, highlighted by a chip-in birdie on the 7th hole, and remained in a tie for the lead until the 16th hole. However, her finish was disappointing.

She missed a birdie opportunity on the relatively easy par-5 17th hole, allowing Nelly Korda to take a one-stroke lead. She then finished with a bogey on the final hole, ultimately ending the tournament in 4th place.

Chun, who won this tournament in 2015, could not secure a return to the top after 11 years. Nevertheless, she proved she remains competitive, overcoming a slump that had lasted for over three years, and earned 890 million won in prize money.

Kim Sei-young, who was tied for the lead through the third round, lost one stroke on the final day and finished in 5th place.

World No. 1 Korda, who claimed the title by a one-stroke margin, secured her fourth win of the season and captured her second consecutive major title this year, taking home a massive 3.8 billion won in prize money.
