Oh shot a 4-under 68 with four birdies in the final round on April 5 (Korea time) at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia, a par-72 course.
She ended the tournament at 9-under 207 to take sole possession of third place.
The previous best finish by a South Korean player was a tie for fifth by Lim Ji-yu in 2023.
“I was happy just to make it to the final round. Just playing at Amen Corner made me feel good. I wanted to take in those moments,” Oh said. “I think this experience will help me a lot.”
Yang Yun-seo, also in the field, tied for fourth at 8-under 208. Kim Gyu-bin tied for 15th at 4-under 212, and Park Seo-jin tied for 27th at even-par 216.
Colombia’s Jose Marin won the title at 14-under 202.
The tournament, founded in 2019, began with 72 players who played the first two rounds at Champions Retreat Golf Club in Georgia. After the second round, the top 30 took a day off before playing the final round at Augusta National, home of the Masters.
If the winner remains an amateur, she can compete in the event for the next five years and receives invitations to women’s major championships in that season.
