Seo Gyo-rim overturned a three-shot deficit to claim victory at the KLPGA Tour Medihill & Korea Herald Championship (total purse: 1.2 billion won).

On the 16th, Seo shot an 8-under-par 64 with nine birdies and one bogey in the final fourth round at Mongveer Country Club in Pocheon, Gyeonggi Province (par 72). Finishing with a total of 18-under-par 270, Seo moved past second-place Kim Min-sol (16-under-par 272) by two strokes to take the title.

With this trophy, her third of the season following the Celltrion Queens Masters and Inka Financial The Heaven Masters, Seo Gyo-rim tied for first place in wins alongside Kim Min-sol. She earned a winning prize of 216 million won, bringing her season total to 1.01676 billion won, and surged to first place in the Player of the Year points standings.

Starting four shots behind the leaders at third place, Seo Gyo-rim recorded five birdies through the 11th hole to join the lead group. Although she made a bogey on the 12th hole (par 5), she hit three consecutive birdies from the 13th through the 15th holes to take sole possession of the lead.

Meanwhile, Kim Min-sol, who had been leading, faltered after declaring an unplayable ball following a tee shot error on the 14th hole (par 5), resulting in a double bogey. Kim fought back with consecutive birdies on the 15th and 16th holes to close within one stroke, but Seo secured the victory by sinking a 5-meter birdie putt on the 18th hole (par 4).

Kim Min-sol missed out on her fourth win of the season and dropped to second place in Player of the Year points, though she retained first place in the money list with 1.12162 billion won.

Meanwhile, Choi Ye-rim and Lee Ji-hyun finished tied for third at 15-under-par 273. Lee Da-yeon and Kim Sae-ro-mi placed tied for fifth at 13-under-par 275.
