Rose Jang's 2nd career win
Jinyoung Ko (29, Solaire) and Seyoung Kim (31, Mediheal) failed to enter the top 10 at the Cognizant Founders Cup (total prize money of $3 million) on the LPGA Tour.
Jin-young Ko recorded 3 under par 69 with 5 birdies and 2 bogeys in the final 4th round of the tournament held at the Upper Montclair Country Club (par 72) in Clifton, New Jersey, USA on the 13th (Korean time).
Ko Jin-young, who recorded a final total of 6 under par and 282 strokes, finished the tournament in a tie for 12th place.
Ko Jin-young, who won this competition in 2021 and last year, attempted to defend his title with his first win of the season in this year's competition, but was unable to achieve his goal.
Along with Jin-young Ko, Se-young Kim also finished the competition in the same ranking. Kim Se-young was tied for 3rd place until the 3rd round, but her ranking went down in the last round as she lost 2 strokes with a birdie and 3 bogeys.
Kim Se-young, who was unable to enter the top 10 for the third time this season, promised to compete in the next competition.
Behind Ko Jin-young and Kim Se-young, Lim Jin-hee (26, Angang Construction) and Shin Ji-eun (32, Hanwha Q CELLS) were tied for 18th place with 5 under par and 283 strokes. As Korean players did not win this tournament, Korea continued its streak of 11 consecutive tournaments without a win since the opening of the LPGA Tour this season. This is the longest record in 10 years since 2014. At that time, there had been no wins in the 13 competitions since the opening, and Inbee Park achieved her first win in the 14th competition. The championship went to Rose Jang (USA). On this day, Rose Jang took 6 birdies without bogeys and added 6 under par, recording a final total of 24 under par and 264 strokes, beating Madeline Saxstrom (Sweden, 22 under par, 266 strokes) by two strokes. Rose Jang, who won the Mizuno Americas Open, her first tournament since turning pro in June last year, continued to perform well afterward, but did not record a win. In this competition, he added his first win in 11 months, recording his first win of the season and second win of his personal career. The winning prize is $450,000 (about 610 million won). Saxstrom was in the lead by one stroke until the 15th hole, but lost his chance to win due to a lack of courage at the last minute. While Rose Jang and Saekstrom competed in a 'two-strength composition' by exceeding 20 under par, the gap with third place was wide. Gabriela Ruppels (Australia) took sole 3rd place with 9 under par 279 strokes. World No. 1 Nellie Corda (USA), who was aiming for the first six consecutive wins in LPGA tour history in this tournament, finished in a tie for 7th place with a final total of 7 under par and 281 strokes. With this, Koda's winning streak came to an end at '5'. 일본야동
