Ji-ae Shin reduced her score by 4 strokes to 1 eagle, 4 birdies, and 2 bogeys in the 3rd round of the tournament held at the 13TH Beach Golf Links Beach Course (par 72, 5660m) in Barwon Heads, Victoria, Australia on the 3rd. In the 16th hole (par 4, 367m), with 153m left until the hole, she hit the second shot into the hole and recorded a shot eagle. Shin Ji-ae, who hit a midterm total of 8 under par 209, was tied for the lead alongside Charis Davidson (26, Australia).
Ji-ae Shin said, “I’m really enjoying my play, and my shots and putts are going well this week.” Shin Ji-ae, who is currently ranked 15th in the world and the third highest among Korean players, can qualify for the Paris Olympics in August if she maintains her ranking within the world’s top 15 and among the top four Korean players until the end of June. Yoon Min-ah (21), who was active in the U.S. second division tour and is about to make her debut on the Korean Ladies Professional Golf (KLPGA) tour this season, was tied for third place (7 under par), one stroke behind the lead.
Yoon Ina (21), who caused a stir and was disciplined for playing a wrong ball, raised her ranking to tied for 13th place (1 under par) on this day. He started the first round of his comeback after a year and a half with a score of 76, but regained his sense of the game by shooting 73 in the second round and 67 in the third. In the third round, he recorded an eagle on the 18th hole (par 5, 448m), as well as 5 birdies and 2 bogeys. He debuted on the KLPGA Tour in 2022 and attracted much attention as a long hitter. Yoon Ina was suspended from playing for 3 years by the Korea Golf Association and the KLPGA Tour, but the punishment was recently reduced to 1 year and 6 months. This is the first time since July 2022 that he has competed in a major tour competition, excluding a small tour in the United States. It is possible to return to the KLPGA tour starting in April of this year.
