Wow, that might be the worst break I've seen all year...

Uhjin Seo hits her tee shot on the par 3 12th; the ball clanks against the bottom of the flag, ricochets back over the green and into the water that fronts it. Literally if the ball hits six inches lower she might have had an ace. I've seen the ball clank off the flag before, but never back into the water!

[EDIT]: Crazy, somehow the ball didn't go all the way into the water but stopped in the long grass. From there she hit a pitch to six inches. What a nutty par!

Here's the video. Tell me how this stayed dry? (there must be more slope over there than it looks like)

There were times yesterday when Hye Jin was playing as well as in her best days. This might be the first time in years I've seen that level from her and it's exciting, reminding me so much of that world beater from 2017 - 2019. I hope she can put an exclamation point on a win tomorrow and go into the Majors ready to kick butt.

Otherwise, most of my faves are out of it. It was fun seeing Da Been Heo on the coverage, she rarely gets TV time. She actually was at 8 under the whole back nine until an untimely bogey on the last, but she has a good shot at a top five if she can keep her nerves together Sunday. The two rookie stars are now tied at 4 under. Too far back to contend, but top tens are still possible. I feel like they need to take advantage of Bang being out to pad their leads on her.

Lotte sponsorees are doing well. Hye Jin in first, So Young Lee tied for 2nd and Hyo Joo also in the top ten.

Hwaiting!

She's really been buckling on the back nine after establishing a four-shot lead. Hope she can hang on, So Young Lee is sniffing blood.

Nail biter. On 16 So Young Lee just put her second shot into the water when going for the pin. She had the lead down to two. Yun Ji Jeong also two back but on the green. Hye Jin bombed her drive, nice approach to twelve feet.

[EDIT]: Choi and Jeong both parred, Lee bogied. Jeong might be the last person who could deny Hye Jin. They're going to the party hole next...

Mercifully, the views of the Bear's Worst Cheongna venue are finished ... until they go back again later

... I think they play it twice this year.

With Cyborg already being an LPGA member, will Lotte give an invite to the highest KLPGA finisher for Hawaii in 2024?

Congratulations to Hye Jin Choi for her somewhat no stress win.
I didn't watch the broadcast but looking at the scores, her lead was never threatened.

Hee Jeong Lim had three bogeys, good news is that she at least had four birdies.
Maybe she is ready to make more birdies in the big tournament coming up and less bogeys.

What is happening to some of the top players, He Won Lee had five bogeys no birdies.

Believe me when I tell you, it was stressful. Starting on ten, she started making all sorts of bad mistakes: terrible swings, ten footers for par, that sort of thing. I think she managed to barely save a couple of long ones or she would have really been in trouble. Then she was helped by first Jeong making consecutive bogies, then Lee hitting her ball into the water.

Ji Su Kim was also two back at one point and had a lip out from short distance.

But Hye Jin hung in there and that's all that counts.

WRT who gets to be in next year's LPGA event: nominally I think it would be Yun Ji Jeong, the runner up, BUT: So Young Lee, also sponsored by Lotte, finished t-3rd, so I wouldn't be surprised to see her get it instead.

I guess that visit to Titleist training center is paying off because she played good in the Match Play Championship.
