On June 12, 2016, Ji Young Park, a student of sports science at Konkuk University’s Glocal campus, won the KLPGA S-Oil Champion’s Invitational in Jeju. During the final round she bogeyed the 12th hole and fell into a tie for the lead with Su Yeon Jang, who was aiming for her third win this season. However, Jang’s tee shot soared out of bounds on the 14th hole and Park made two straight birdies for her 15th and 16th holes. Park closed with a six-under-par to finish at 17-under 199, topping Jin Young Ko by four strokes. This was her first win after 40 events. She turned professional last year and won the Rookie of the Year award.
