Round 4 canceled due to heavy rain Lee Ye-won-Kim Jae-hee tied for 2nd place

Sung Yoo-jin celebrates her lucky win at the S-Oil Championship.

Sung Yoo-jin Sung was fortunate to win the Korean Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) Tour's Etosha Oil Championship in a downpour.

The fourth round of the tournament, held at Elysian Jeju Country Club (Par 72) in Jeju City on Friday, was suspended twice due to heavy rain.

Sung Yoo-jin Sung, who led the tournament after three rounds, won the title with a 12-under-par 204.

It was Sung's second title of the season and third of her career after winning the Doosan Match Play Championship in May. She earned $162 million for her victory.

After starting the fourth round with a one-stroke lead, Sung bogeyed the first (par-5) with a three-putt and then double-bogeyed the fourth (par-4) after being penalized for putting her second shot in the water.

The downpour proved to be a blessing in disguise for Sung, who dropped five strokes in the first half with three bogeys and a birdie.

The rain that had been falling since the start of play turned into a torrential downpour, with water pooling on the greens. After two stoppages of play at 11:45 a.m. and 29 p.m., the tournament organizers decided to end the tournament based on the third round results.

The fourth round of the S-Oil Championship was suspended due to heavy rain.

Based on their third round scores, Lee Ye-won and Kim Jae-hee (11-under par 205) tied for second place, while Hong Jung-min, Lim Hee-jung and Lee Seung-yeon (10-under par 206) tied for fourth.

Kim Jae-hee, who led by three strokes at the halfway point of the fourth round, was looking for her first victory on the 2021 Tour, but was unable to capitalize on the heavy rain.
