Seo Kyo-rim Wins Second Title in Two Weeks

Seo Kyo-rim, who famously shed tears and even a nosebleed after her debut victory two weeks ago, has once again claimed the top spot on the podium. The 20-year-old golfer clinched her second KLPGA Tour win in just two weeks at the Inka Financial The Heaven Masters, held at The Heaven Country Club in Ansan.

I'm happy to achieve two wins early in the season. Winning wire-to-wire makes it even more special.

Competing on the West and South Courses (par 72), Seo carded a final round of 2-under par 70, with four birdies and two bogeys, to finish with a total score of 16-under par 200. This put her two strokes ahead of second-place finisher Jang Eun-su, who finished at 14-under par. The victory comes with a prize of 180 million won.

I just need to let go of my worries.

Seo had previously struggled with a "runner-up jinx," securing second place in two tournaments last year as a rookie and again at the season-opening The Siena Open. However, she broke through with her first career win at the Celltrion Queens Masters on July 7. The intense pressure of winning was evident when she experienced a nosebleed immediately after confirming her victory. Free from that stress, her true potential has emerged, leading to this second win.

to be the top winner

With this latest triumph, Seo Kyo-rim becomes the second player this season, after Kim Min-sol, to achieve multiple wins. She now leads in the Player of the Year points race and is second in season earnings. "I'm happy to achieve two wins early in the season," Seo said in a post-match interview. "Winning wire-to-wire makes it even more special." When she found herself in a tie for the lead during the final round, she recalled thinking, "I just need to let go of my worries." Her season goal is clear: "to be the top winner," she stated firmly, adding, "I want to seize every opportunity to win."
