Hyun-Ji Kim wins Korea Ladies Masters again

FROM THE LADIES EUROPEAN TOUR WEBSITE

JEJU, South Korea – Hyun-Ji Kim won her second Ladies European Tour event on Sunday when she shot a final round of 65 to retain the Daishin Securities Tomato M Korea European Ladies Masters.

Starting the day four shots off the lead, the 22-year-old from Incheon carded seven birdies on a calm and sunny final day at Haevichi Country Club in Jeju, South Korea.
She set off with back-to-back birdies at the first and second holes before picking up three more shots at the fourth, eighth and ninth for a five-under-par outward total of 31.
She was one stroke behind the leader, Korean No.2 Soo-Jin Yang, before adding two more birdies at the 14th and 15th and setting the clubhouse lead on eight-under-par, 208.
The Taekwondo Black-Belt holder joined the Ladies European Tour after her victory at the same tournament last year, which she won at the second hole of sudden-death at nearby Cypress Country Club.
(Colin Farquharson writes: The first six were all South Koreans but there is a strong Scottish link to the sixth placed Juli Yang, pictured, a 15-year-old amateur who was a pupil at Loretto School, Musselburgh from last September through to June during which time she won several titles, including the Scottish schoolgirls at Murrayshall).
South African Lee-Anne Pace showed why she is the European money leader by finishing with a final round of 66 and shared seventh place at three-under-par for the tournament.
Meanwhile England’s Melissa Reid, who held a share of the lead after the first and second rounds, tied for ninth with Paraguayan Julieta Granada and four others on two-under-par after a final round of 75.
