Kim Min-joo, the "Queen of Wind," is on the rise. Kim Min-joo, who won her first career championship at the iM Financial Open of the Korean LPGA Tour, which ended on Thursday, posted a 6-under 66 including an eagle in the first round of the Nexen·St. Nine Masters 2025 held at Gaya Country Club in Gimhae, South Gyeongsang Province on Wednesday.

Kim Min-joo, who won the championship amid gusty winds of more than 9 meters per second, has been strong in windy courses. At that time, she was in fifth place, two strokes behind the leader until the third round, but overcame strong winds in the fourth round to win the title with 15-under 273 overall.

After winning his first championship, Kim Min-joo said, "I don't try to beat the wind, but I think I'm spending it by burning the ball in the wind," adding, "I'm confident in a windy game."

On the day, Kim Min-joo recorded an amazing eagle at the par-4 fourth hole. Her second shot, which was blown through strong winds, flew 132.4 meters and was sucked into the hole. "I tried to grab Iron 7, but I thought it would be difficult if it went over the pin," she said. "I thought it hit me really well when I hit it with Iron 6, but I found out that the gallery cheered and recorded the eagle."

Kim Min-joo said, "I think the remaining two days will be windy, but I will be good at calculating the wind." 토토사이트

Kim Min-ju, born in 2002, debuted on a regular tour in 2022, and enjoyed her first win in her 95th competition. "A lot of people congratulated me," he said. "In particular, Choi Ga-bin gave me earrings to congratulate me, and I was very moved."
