Kim's victory in the tournament, which featured the highest total purse (1.7 billion won) and first-place prize money (36 million won) of the season, 스포츠토토 propelled her into the top 10 on the money list. She moved up 21 spots to sixth place (KRW 554.86 million).

Kim proved once again that she is strong in cold winds. Kim has been particularly strong in the fall when the weather turns cooler, with all four of her wins dating back to last year coming in September and October tournaments. "I was personally looking forward to it because it was a few days before the tournament," Kim said, "It was hot and muggy, but I think the cooler breeze was a positive thing. I think I play better in the fall," she laughed.

Going into the final day tied for the lead, Kim was just one stroke off the pace through the first nine holes and at one point lost the lead to Lee Ye Won. But Kim made a bold move on the back nine. She picked up a driver on the 10th hole (par-4, 302 meters), where most players teed off with a utility or wood. This is the first time Kim has chosen to use a driver on the 10th hole in this tournament. After a successful 'one-on', Kim turned things around with a birdie and went on to birdie four holes in a row, including this one, to take a two-stroke lead. His putting was also good on the day, with a 6.9-meter birdie putt on the 12th (par-5) and a 6.1-meter "champion putt" on the 18th (par-5).

Meanwhile, in the final round of the Korean Professional Golf (KPGA) Korean Tour's Gunsan CC Open on the same day, amateur Jang Yubin (27-photo), who will compete at the Hangzhou Asian Games next month, came from behind to win. Jang, who was in second place, four strokes behind leader Jeon Ga-ram (28) after three rounds, carded an eagle, nine birdies, two bogeys and a double bogey to shave seven strokes off his total. Jang, who finished tied with Jeon at 20-under-par 268, bogeyed the first hole of the final round before Jeon missed a bogey putt to seal the victory. It is the second time this season and 11th time in his career that an amateur has won on the Korean Tour since Cho Woo-young, 28, at the Golf Zone Open in April. Cho will also compete in the Hangzhou Asian Games. Amateurs are not eligible for prize money, 스포츠토토맨 so the first-place prize of 100 million won went to runner-up Jeon Ga-ram.
