Two Korean golfers shared second place at the BMW Ladies Championship, a prestigious LPGA Tour event held on their home soil in Haenam, South Korea. The tournament was won by Yuri Yoshida, a Japanese player who carded a four-round total of 17-under 271. Yoshida secured her first career victory by a single stroke over the Korean duo, Ryu Hae-ran and Choi Hye-jin.
Ryu led the field by four strokes at the end of the final round, but her lead was short-lived. After shooting a 73 on Sunday, following a bogey-birdie-bogey finish, Ryu slipped to a point behind Yoshida. Choi Hye-jin, entering the tournament aiming for her maiden LPGA title in her 125th career start, had the opportunity to force a playoff but missed a birdie putt on the 18th hole, settling for a round of 69.
