Smile Queen Ha-Neul Kim Wins
SUNTORY LADIES OPEN Golf Tournament
Her third win this season earns her a commanding lead atop the JLPGA prize money list!HONMA GOLF CO., LTD. (Head office: Roppongi Hills Mori Tower 35F, 6-10-1 Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo; representative director & president: Yasuki Ito) congratulates Tour staffer Ha-Neul Kim on winning the JLPGA SUNTORY LADIES OPEN Golf Tournament at ROKKO KOKUSAI GOLF CLUB in Hyogo.
Entering the final round with a three-stroke lead, Kim captured the tournament at 15-under par overall, one stroke ahead of her nearest competitor. She birdied the 17th hole -- the turning point of the event -- by using the TW-W wedge to finesse the ball pin-high on her third shot. The birdie allowed her to relax on the final hole.
Kim quickly achieved her seasonal goal of three wins and will now seek a career-high four victories. Far ahead of other players on the JLPGA prize money list, she's expected to be the quickest-ever to exceed 100 million yen in earnings.
TOUR WORLD × TEAM HONMA prove the high performance and strength on tours all over the world again this season, and we are hoping for your continuous support of TEAM HONMA.

Comment from Ha-Neul KimI am very thankful to all of you for support as I achieved my third win of this season.
"The decisive point in my victory was the third shot on the par-five 17th hole, in the final round.
It was a tense situation. I made a great shot with the TW-W wedge to score the birdie, and I was able to feel more relaxed on the final hole."
I sincerely look forward to your continued cheers and support in the future!
