Left-handed golfer Lee Seung-chan claimed his second win of the season on the Korea Professional Golf Association (KPGA) David Golf Tour, prevailing after two playoff holes.

Playing Tuesday at Gunsan Country Club's Buan-Namwon course (par 72) in North Jeolla Province, Lee carded a two-round total of 15 under par (129 strokes) to finish tied with Jeong Se-yun and Park Ji-min.

In the first playoff on the par-3 17th hole, both Lee and Park made birdie, sending the contest to a second extra hole. Lee drained another birdie on the par-4 18th, while Park could only manage par, giving Lee the title and prize money of 20 million won ($14,900). It was his second victory of the season, following his win at the 11th event.
