Shi Hyun Kim shot 17-under 196 following her rounds of 67-62-67 to register a dominating six-shot win at the 5th Dream Park Amateur Cup Championship held at Dream Park Country Club in Incheon, South Korea.

In the final round, she delivered a flawless 4-under 67, extending her lead and securing a six-shot victory. Seun Lee, the closest contender, finished six strokes behind Kim with an impressive final round of 66, but it wasn’t enough to challenge for the title.
