South Korea failed to secure any medals in the women's golf events at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games held in Japan. The country's top performer, 18-year-old Yang Yun-seo, ended up in fourth place, narrowly missing the podium by seven strokes. Yang's final round score of two-under 68, featuring five birdies and three bogeys, was not enough to surpass the bronze medalist Shannon Xuan Yin Tan of Singapore.
Park Seo-jin and Kim Gyu-been both placed 15th and 21st respectively in the team rankings, three and nine strokes behind the Chinese Taipei team.

Indian golfer Pranavi Sharath Urs claimed the gold medal in the individual event, edging out Yin Ruoning by a single stroke.
