Seong A-jin, a former national team member, claimed her first victory at the KLPGA 2026 East One·Ocean Beach Dream Tour's 12th event, which carried a purse of 70 million won ($46,500) and a winner's prize of 10.5 million won.
Seong carded a 3-under-par 69 in the second round Tuesday at Ocean Beach Golf & Resort (par 72) in Yeongdeok, North Gyeongsang Province, finishing at 13-under-par 131 to edge joint runners-up Jeong Ji-hyo and Jeon I-an by one stroke.
Seong represented South Korea on the national team in 2025 and earned her place on the Dream Tour by winning the first event of the third-tier Jump Tour this year, her first start after joining as an associate member.
"After moving up to the Dream Tour, my ball-striking was off for a while and I was struggling inside," she said. "I feel like the work I've put in recently to get my shot feel back has finally paid off."
Jeong, who won the eighth event, finished runner-up to push her season earnings to 35.76 million won, keeping her atop the money list.
