He didn't win because of one stroke, but it was enough to announce the appearance of a "scary rookie."

Akie Iwai of Japan was the runner-up at the Honda LPGA Thailand (total prize money of $1.7 million) held at the Siam Country Club Old Course (par 72) in Chonburi, Thailand on the 23rd.
Akie, who joined the LPGA tour this year, ranked second in her second competition. Notably, she posted 10-under 62 on the first day and 11-under 61 on the final round.

EY tied for fifth in the LPGA qualifying series last year to clinch the LPGA tour seed. Twin sister Chezato also advanced to the U.S. by ranking second.

Ewai, who was known as twin sisters when she was playing in the Japan Ladies Professional Golf Association (JLPGA) Tour, has won six games in Japan alone. Notably, she has emerged as a star by garnering three wins in 2023 and three wins in 2024. In 2023, she played extra time with Shin at the Earth Monda Min Cup, but lost.

Notably, EY is 161 centimeters tall and has a long shot. She flew 271 yards in the Honda LPGA Thailand alone, and her fairway settling rate stood out at 76.79 percent. On top of that, she also posted an average putt of 27.25.

The competition for the Rookie of the Year is expected to be fierce in the LPGA tour this year. Not only Akie sisters who played in the JLPGA tour but also Miyu Yamashita of Japan, who swept the grand prize and prize money winners from 2022 to 23, also secured the seed as the top contender.

In addition, all those born in 2002-2003 who played on the JLPGA Tour, including Takeda Rio (Japan), who won the Toto Japan Classic last year and won the LPGA Tour, and twin Chezito, who won seven wins, participated in the event. 바카라
