Kim Min-sol opened the KLPGA OK Savings Bank Eutman Open in a tie for seventh as she targets her fourth victory of the season, while describing her rivalry with Seo Gyo-rim as a source of positive synergy.

Kim made four birdies and two bogeys for a 2-under 70 on Friday at Adonis Country Club in Pocheon, Gyeonggi Province. She shares seventh with Lee Dong-eun, Sung Yu-jin, Park Bo-gyeom and Kim Jae-hee, two shots behind co-leaders Shin Da-in, Yang Hyo-jin and Lee Ye-won, who carded 4-under 68s.

Kim, who joined the KLPGA Tour last year, broke through by winning the Dongbu Construction and Korea Land Trust Championship. She has added three victories this season at the iM Financial Open, the Mercedes-Benz 40th Korea Womenโ€™s Open Golf Championship and the McCall-Mona Yongpyong Open.

She missed out to Seo, her fellow 2003-born player, at last monthโ€™s Mediheal-Korea์ผ๋ณด Championship and the BC Card-Hankyung 48th KLPGA Championship. Seo is not playing this week because of a wrist injury, giving Kim another chance to pursue a fourth win.

The rivalry creates good synergy for both of us.
