“(Kim) Min-sol, I’m late for three wins, but I’ll go first for four wins.”

Seo Kyo-rim, who received the Rookie of the Year award last year, stopped “super rookie” Kim Min-sol’s “first four wins” and reached the top of three wins of the season. It was his first come-from-behind victory and fourth round victory. Seo Kyo-rim said with a big smile, “This victory means something really special to me.”

The fourth round of the KLPGA Tour Medi Hill and Hankook Ilbo Championship took place on the 16th at Mt. Myeongseong course (par 72) at Montver Country Club in Pocheon, Gyeonggi Province. Seo Kyo-rim cut eight shots with nine birdies and one bogey, recording an 8-under 64. Seo Kyo-rim, who made a total of 18-under 270, beat Kim Min-sol, a “rival of the same age,” by two strokes to become the winner of the trophy. Seo Kyo-rim, who embraced the trophy again in two months following Celltrion Queen’s Masters and Inca <a href="https://bitcomme.com/blaize-reports-second-quarter-2026-financial-results/” title=”Blaize Reports Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results”>Financial The Heaven Masters in June, tied for first place with multiple wins with three wins of the season alongside Kim Min-sol.

Kim Min-sol, who is called the “super rookie,” and Seo Kyo-rim, who is in the second year, were both born in 2006 and are called the golden generation to lead the generational change of Korean women’s golf. The rivalry between Seo Kyo-rim and Kim Min-sol, who are currently fighting for first place in various KLPGA Tour titles, is sometimes called “Slim Daejeon.”

It’s a tight race with no concessions at all. Kim Min-sol was first and Seo Kyo-rim was second even when he was a member of the national team. Seo Kyo-rim was half a step ahead of the professional stage. He entered the first part of the tour first and received the rookie award. Competition is hotter this year. Before this competition, Kim Min-sol was one step ahead. He won three games first, including the “National title” Korean Women’s Open, and ranked first in prize money, grand prize, and rookie points.

But even Seo Kyo-rim did not stay still. Seo Kyo-rim, who won the competition and was in second place, three points behind Kim Min-sol in the grand prize point category, accumulated 80 points to beat Kim Min-sol (353 points) and succeeded in turning the tables to first place (390 points). In the prize money ranking, Kim Min-sol ranked first with 1,121,629,428 won, while Seo Kyo-rim, who received 216 million won as the prize money, succeeded in narrowing the gap by making the season prize money to 1,016,766,000 won. Kim Min-sol comforted himself by setting a record of over 1 billion won in prize money for his first season as a rookie.

Seo Kyo-rim said, “I have no pressure to be in the spotlight as a rival with (Kim) Min-sol,” adding, “I think I’m gaining more confidence in my shot as we compete together because I’m a good player.” In the process of achieving three wins this season, Kim Min-sol followed after winning one, two, and three first. In response, Seo Kyo-rim made a cute provocation, saying, “Min-sol, I’ll win four games first,” but predicted a competition in good faith, saying, “I hope we don’t get sick from each other and do well as we aim.”

His goals changed as he achieved his third win of the season. Seo Kyo-rim said, “My goal this year was to win multiple games. “I’m a co-leader now, but I really want to win the most,” he said. “As we recaptured the first place in the grand prize point, I want to keep the first place until the end, and if I have a chance, I want to take the first place in the prize money ranking.” He also said, “Three major tournaments will be held in the second half of the year. One of them is that I want to win,” he said, adding, “I especially want to win the Hite Jinro Championship. I think the course suits me well, and I want to do a beer ceremony,” he said with a smile.

Kim Min-sol, who was on the verge of “four wins in his first season as a rookie,” missed the trophy by just one mistake. Kim Min-sol’s tee shot at the 14th hole (par 4) went into the forest on the right side. He then declared an unplayable ball and committed a double bogey. Kim Min-sol made consecutive birdies in the 15th and 16th holes, but failed to overcome the already wide gap and finished second alone.
