Hyerim Jo (21), who is booked to return to the Korean Women’s Professional Golf (KLPGA) tour next year, has enjoyed the luck of a hole in one of 50 million wins.
Hyerim Cho played a hole-in-one on the 16th hole (par 3) of the 3rd round of the KLPGA Tour Dongbu Construction and Korea Land Trust Championship (total prize money of 1 billion won) held at Iksan Country Club (par 72 ) in Iksan-si, Jeollabuk-do on 15.
The ball from the 131-yard tee shot went straight into the hole.
In this room a gold ball weighing 600 g hangs as a prize.
At the current market price of gold, it is around 5 million won.
Jo Hye-rim, who lost the seed last year to only place 80 on the prize money chart, will take the Dream Tour as the main stage this year and is also on the KLPGA tour.
After winning two championships on the Dream Tour, leaving two tournaments, and finishing second on the prize money chart, Jo Hye-rim, who has been pretty much confirmed to be returning to the KLPGA tour next year, has also participated in this tournament as a multiple. Dream Tour winner.
The hole-in-one prize of 50 million won is close to the 65.35 million total prize money that Hyerim Jo received this year on the KLPGA tour.
Hyerim Jo’s hole-in-one is the 30th season of the KLPGA Tour and the most holed in history.
The previous record was 28 in 2017.
