Oh Su-min, a student at Shinsung High School, finished third at the Augusta National Women's Amateur, the best result ever by a Korean player in the tournament.

Oh carded a 4-under-par 68 with four birdies in the final round at Augusta National Golf Club (par 72) in Augusta, Georgia, on Saturday. She finished the tournament in sole third place at 9-under-par 207.

Oh set a new record for the best finish by a Korean player at the event. The previous best was a tied-fifth finish by Lim Ji-yu in 2023.

"Last year I failed to make the cut, so making it to the final round this year made it a happy day," Oh said after her round. "Just playing Amen Corner felt great, and I think this experience will be a big help as I turn professional in the future."

Yang Yun-seo of Incheon Girls' Broadcasting and Telecommunications High School finished tied for fourth at 8-under-par 208, while Kim Gyu-bin of Haksan Girls' High School placed tied for 15th at 4-under-par 212. Park Seo-jin of Seomun Girls' High School recorded even-par 216 for a tied-27th finish.

The tournament title went to Jose Marin of Colombia, who posted a final total of 14-under-par 202, finishing four strokes ahead of runner-up Andrea Revuelta of Spain.

The tournament, established in 2019, features a field of 72 players. The first and second rounds are held at Champions Retreat Golf Club in Georgia. After the second round, the top 30 players take a day off before playing the final round at Augusta National Golf Club, home of the Masters. If the winner maintains amateur status, she receives invitations to the tournament for the next five years and is also invited to women's major championships that season.
