(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Choi Song-ah = Yoo So-yeon (32) and Lee Bo-mi (34) won the team event at the Simone Asia Pacific Cup Golf Tournament (total prize money of $750,000), which was established to promote the women’s national golf tournament in the Asia-Pacific region. .

So-yeon Yoo and Bomi Lee, the ‘Korea 2 Team’, joined together as a team to win the championship with an 11-under par until the third round of the tournament held at the Pondok Indah Golf Course (par 72, 6,806 yards) in Jakarta, Indonesia on the 20th.

In this competition, where 44 players from 16 countries in the Asia-Pacific region participated and ranked through stroke play for three days, individual and two-person team competitions, Soyeon Ryu and Bomi Lee were named the first team event champions.

So-yeon Yoo reduced her five strokes to 7 birdies and 2 bogeys on the day, recording a final total of 9-under 207, while Bo-mi Lee lost three shots and finished the contest with 2-under-par 214.

Bomi Lee said, “I played on the Japanese women’s professional golf (JLPGA) tour and So-yeon Yoo was playing on the American women’s professional golf (LPGA) tour, so we played together for a really long time. We played with the same team for three days and had a lot of fun.” “Our ‘ Chemi’ seems to have led to a good result of winning the team event,” he said.

Soyeon Ryu said, “Many players from the Asia Pacific region show good performances on the LPGA Tour, but the women’s golf tour in this region doesn’t seem to have developed that much.” “As long as this tournament is meaningful for the future of women’s golf in Asia Pacific, I think it’s a step,” he said.

In the individual event, Princess Mary Superal (Philippines) took first place with a final total of 12 under par 204. The prize money for the individual championship is 100,000 dollars (about 130 million won).

In the team event, Superal teamed up with Pauline del Rosario of the same Filipino (5 over par 221) and a final 7 under par to finish runners-up.

Yoo So-yeon left the best solo performance among Korean players by taking the lead and 2nd by three strokes alone.

Lydia Ko (New Zealand) finished third with an 8-under 208, and Bomi Lee was sixth.

Kim Hyo-joo (27) tied for 8th (1 under par 215 strokes), Hwang Yu-min (19) was 12th (even par 216 strokes), and the ‘Korea 1 Team’ with the two players ranked 6th with a total of 1 under par in the team event. .

This tournament is not a regular tournament of existing tours such as the LPGA Tour or the Korea Women’s Professional Golf (KLPGA) tour, but was held as part of the Ladies Asian Tour (LAT) series hosted by the Asia Golf Leaders Forum (AGLF).
