On the par-39th hole, Kim A-rim's shot on the 9th iron bounced once on the green and was sucked into the hole cup.

Kim Arim's second hole-in-one on the LPGA Tour!

Amid the applause and cheers of the gallery, Kim A-rim also takes the ball out of the hole cup and kisses it, showing great joy.

The perfect shot also bursts in the local broadcast.

[Local broadcaster: Wow!] It's really great. [Hahaha, it's perfect]

Kim A-rim, who was in second place by one stroke, jumped back to the lead by reducing two strokes at once with this shot,

, he tied three birdies and one bogey, reducing two more strokes to finish the round alone.

3Round total 14 under par.

After taking the lead alone on the first day, he remained in the lead for the third day and played the final round one stroke ahead of the Russian Salvation Bar.

After winning the major U.S. Open in 2020, she is close to winning her second LPGA Tour title in three years and 11 months.

In particular, the fact that he made consecutive birdies on the 17th and 18th holes and made a dramatic comeback to the Salvation Bar, which lost one stroke here, is another factor that builds confidence.

If Kim wins the final round, she will become the third Korean player to win on the LPGA Tour this year, following Yang Hee-young in June and Yoo Hae-ran in September.

In addition, Ko Jin-young, who tied for fourth at 10-under by reducing five strokes on the day, and Lee Jung-eun, born in 1988, who ranked seventh at 9-under, will also try to win the final round.
