Overview

• Australian Minjee Lee won the LPGA South Korea tournament on Sunday after defeating American Alison Lee in a playoff round. Both players had finished at 16-under 272 on the Seowon Valley Country Club course.
• The win marks Lee's 10th tour title and second win in her last three starts. She previously claimed victory at the Kroger Queen City Championship in Cincinnati in July.
• This victory makes Minjee the third Australian player to reach double digits in tour victories, she now ranks alongside Jan Stephenson with 16 victories and Karrie Webb with 41 victories.
• Despite a robust late rally from Alison Lee that forced a playoff, her birdie attempt narrowly missed at the par-4 18th where Minjee made her winning birdie. This leaves Alison still in search of her first tour victory.
• Other competitors included defending champion Lydia Ko, who finished two strokes behind in third place, Angel Yin who followed her breakthrough win at the LPGA Shanghai event with a fourth-place finish, and Celine Boutier who finished in a tie for fifth along with four other competitors.
