Lee Jung-Min wins World Ladies golf event

South Korea have filled the top five places in the World Ladies Championship at Mission Hills.

Lee Jung-Min won the World Ladies Championship on Sunday, beating fellow South Korean players Lee Seung-Hyun, Kim Bo-Kyung and Ji Han Sol in rainy conditions at Mission Hills.

Lee Jung-Min closed with a six-under 66 for a nine-under 279 total on the Olazabal Course in the event sanctioned by the European, Korean and Chinese tours.

"I was very surprised to win because I didn't feel that I played my best and I wasn't in the leading group," said Lee Jung-Min, a three-time winner last year on the Korean LPGA Tour.

"My main goal this year is to get my best ever score on the KLPGA Tour."

Kim finished with a 69, and Ji and Lee Seung-Hyun shot 71.

Australians Stacey Keating and Sarah Kemp finished joint 19th, nine shots behind the winner.
