Green reduced his score by 5 strokes to 6 birdies and 1 bogey in the 4th round of the tournament held at Sentosa Golf Club (par 72, 6,749 yards) in Singapore on the 3rd. Green, who took the lead with Celine Boutier (31, France) by making consecutive birdies on the 16th hole (par 5) and 17th hole (par 3), confirmed the win by one stroke without overtime with a birdie on the 18th hole (par 4). . Boutier only made par in the last three holes in a row.
Green, who hit a final total of 13 under par 275, added her first win in 10 months and achieved her fourth LPGA Tour victory. The prize money is $270,000 (about 360 million won). Lee Mi-hyang (31) finished in a tie for 3rd place (9 under par), and Ko Jin-young (29), who attempted to win the tournament for the third time in a row, finished in a tie for 8th place (7 under par).
Lee Mi-hyang recorded an eagle, five birdies, and two bogeys in the fourth round, hitting a 5-under par 67, raising her ranking from a tie for 12th the previous day to third place, four strokes behind the leader. Lee Mi-hyang, who has two LPGA Tour wins, ranked in the top 10 six months after tying for 5th place at the Kroger Queen City Championship in September last year.
This competition has been won by Korean players four times in a row, with Ko Jin-young winning last year and 2022, Kim Hyo-joo (29) winning in 2021, and Park Seong-hyun (31) winning in 2019 (cancelled due to the coronavirus in 2020), but that streak ended this year.
