Lee Min-woo, who recorded a final total of 17 under par 271, finished the tournament in a tie for second place with Sebastian Soderbergh (Sweden). It is an unfortunate runner-up by only one stroke from winner Victor Perez (France, 18 under par, 270 strokes).
Lee Min-woo, who was co-leader until the 3rd round, tried to win his first championship of the year, but swallowed regret.
He has won two career wins on the DP World Tour, including winning the ISPS Handa Vic Open in 2020 and the Rolex Series Scottish Open in 2021, and is ranked 58th in the men’s golf world rankings.
He is also well known as the younger brother of world No. 3 Lee Min-ji, who is active on the US Women’s Professional Golf (LPGA) Tour.
Pérez hit a 6-under par on the final day and succeeded in a come-from-behind victory. Perez, who recorded his 3rd victory in the DP World Tour, took 1.53 million dollars (approximately 1.89 billion won) by winning this tournament.
