  "account": "South Korea failed to secure any medals in women's golf individual and team events at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, held in Japan, on Saturday. The top-performing South Korean golfer, 18-year-old Yang Yun-seo, finished fourth in the individual competition, tied with seven strokes behind the bronze medalist, Shannon Xuan Yin Tan from Singapore, at Kasugai Country Club East Course. Yang shot a two-under 68 in the final round, including five birdies and three bogeys. Park Seo-jin and Kim Gyu-been also finished within the top 20, placing 15th and 21st respectively. In the team rankings, South Korea tied for fourth place at seven-under, three strokes behind Chinese Taipei. This marked the first time since 1990, when women's golf was introduced to the Asian Games, that South Korea did not win at least one medal in the event. India's Pranavi Sharath Urs narrowly beat Yin Ruoning, a six-time LPGA winner from China, for the gold medal at 15-under, with Yin and Tan sharing the silver medal after a sudden-death playoff. China took the team gold at 22-under and India claimed the silver at 14-under.",
