Min Woo started the day three ahead but quickly saw his lead shrink after a bogey on the first and competitor Rikuya Hoshino birdieing his first two holes. However, Min Woo ended any momentum from Hoshino with a massive chip-in for an eagle on the 9th hole to extend his lead to 4. The rest of the way was smooth sailing as he cruised to a three-shot win.
