South Korea's Kim Min-su triumphs in a gripping finish at the 2025 Saujana Amateur Open Championship
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – The Korea Golf Association’s national squad capped a highly successful two-week Malaysian campaign in style as Kim Min-su claimed the Saujana Amateur Open Championship 2025 by three shots.
Korea’s top-ranked amateur posted rounds of 71, 68 and 70 to finish at seven-under-par 209 for 54 holes. Despite sporadic rain delays in the final round, the 17-year-old stayed steady down the stretch to secure a convincing victory at one of the region’s most prestigious amateur stops.
Australian Josiah Edwards finished second at four-under-par 212 (69, 70, 73), while Malaysia’s Aiden Kei thrilled the home crowd in third at two-under-par 214 (71, 70, 73). Kei’s final-round charge was highlighted by a hole-in-one on the par-three 12th, one of the tournament’s signature moments.
Kim’s win continued a strong run in Malaysia after he placed fourth in last week’s Malaysian Amateur Open at Permaipura Golf & Country Club. Kim was runner-up in that championship a year ago at Sabah Golf & Country Club, and this season’s progress has included a tie for seventh at the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship in Dubai. He currently stands 220th in the World Amateur Golf Ranking.
At Permaipura, Kim’s teammates An Hae-cheon and Yang Yun-seo claimed the men’s and women’s titles respectively, underscoring the depth of the Korean program during the tour.
An again showed his class at Saujana, opening with a field-leading 67 before sliding back with rounds of 72 and 76. He finished tied for fourth alongside fellow Korean Park Jae-min and Malaysia’s Anson Yeo at one-over-par 215.
“This time of the year is the off-season in Korea, so we appreciate the opportunity given by the Malaysian Golf Association and Saujana Golf & Country Club. I came close to winning the Malaysian Amateur Open last year, so I’m very proud of myself for finally winning in Malaysia here at Saujana.”
— Kim Min-su
Korea Golf Association Director of Elite Development Ko Sang-won emphasized that overseas winter campaigns are a key part of the team’s long-term pathway, providing competitive opportunities when Korea’s domestic season is shut down by weather.
