Petition addressed to: European Union

In the final 4th round of the Jeju Samdasoo Masters (total prize of 1 billion won), the first event of the second half of the KLPGA tour held at Black Stone Jeju (par 72) in Jeju City on the 6th, Lim Jin-hee committed 1 birdie and 3 bogeys, hitting a 2-over par 74. Although she was sluggish on the final day, Lim Jin-hee, who recorded a final total of 5 under par 283, easily beat second place Hwang Yu-min (20) by one stroke and won the victory in sweat.
Lim Jin-hee, born in Jungmun, which is only a 20-minute drive from Black Stone Jeju, where the tournament was held, is the No. 1 professional golfer born in Jungmun. This is why winning this tournament is more meaningful to Lim Jin-hee.
In addition, Lim Jin-hee, who debuted on her 2018 KLPGA tour, added to her joy by winning multiple wins in one season for the first time in her life. In 2021 she won her first win at the BC Card Hankyung Ladies Cup and recorded her second win at the McCall Mona Park Open last year. Lim Jin-hee, who had set the goal of winning the most of her season, achieved it in three months, as she won the NH Investment & Securities Ladies Championship in May of this year.
Lim Jin-hee is the third woman to have more than two wins on the KLPGA tour this season, following Park Min-ji (25) and Park Ji-young (27).
Lim Jin-hee received 180 million won in prize money with this win, recording a cumulative prize money of 470,289,334 won for the season, and her prize money ranking jumped 11 places from 16th to 5th. She also gets 70 points in the grand prize points category, which moves her from 10th to 5th place (281 points).
Lim Jin-hee, who started the final round with a two-stroke lead, gave the lead to Hwang Yoo-min, who made bogeys in turns on holes 4 (par 3) and 5 (par 4), catching a birdie at terrifying speed. At this time, Hwang Yoo-min's putt seemed to be possessed. Hwang Yoo-min, who started with a birdie from the first hole (par 5), caught a 4.3m birdie on the 8th hole (par 5) and a 9m birdie on the 9th hole (par 4). Hwang Yu-min, who made three consecutive birdies on holes 7 through 9, took the lead by two strokes over Lim Jin-hee.
Hwang Yoo-min's excitement did not last long. In the 12th hole (par 4), he couldn't get to the green after two attempts, so he wrote a bogey and put a brake on my running. violated the view
Lim Jin-hee, who became the lead by one stroke as Hwang Yoo-min recorded a fatal double bogey, calmly continued her par par streak. Hwang Yoo-min tried to hit the green with a turnaround in the last 18th hole (par 5), but the ball fell on the rough in front of the green, and Hwang ended the tournament in 2nd place with a par.
Lim Jin-hee wanted to keep the gap of one stroke, so she hit a tee shot with a wood on the 18th hole and sent it safely to the fairway, leaving an 11m birdie putt. She made a rather long putt, but Lim Jin-hee, who put it at a distance of 1m from the pin, enjoyed her victory after putting a par putt.
Hwang Yoo-min missed the championship with a regrettable tee shot mistake and had to be satisfied with the runner-up (4 under par 284 strokes). Hwang Yu-min was able to keep the first place (1605 points) in the rookie award rankings as competitors Kim Min-byeol (19) and Bang Shin-sil (19) were eliminated from the cut in this tournament.
Lee So-young (27), Park Hyeon-kyung (23), and Choi Min-kyung (30) were tied for third place (3 under par, 285 strokes).
Park Ji-young (27) finished the tournament with a tie for 13th place (1 over par, 289 strokes), and maintained 1st place in the prize money rankings and 1st place in grand prize points.
