Ham finished at 16-under 268 at Sentosa Golf Club’s Serapong Course (par 71) in Singapore, where the tournament ended April 26. He beat Cameron John of Australia (14-under 270) by two strokes in the $2 million event.
Ham, the 2023 KPGA Tour player of the year and a four-time winner in South Korea, claimed his first title on an overseas regular tour. He earned $360,000 in prize money (about 550 million won).
The victory also earned Ham a spot in the 154th Open Championship, to be played in July at Royal Birkdale Golf Club in England.
“I think trying to focus only on my play until the end led to the win,” Ham said. “I started the final round with a four-shot lead. Since I began from a good position, I felt a strong sense of responsibility.”
He added, “This win means a lot to me personally. I’m even happier because it feels like the experience and preparation I’ve built up paid off. Using this win as a stepping stone, I want to become a player who can confidently contend for titles on bigger stages. I will remember this feeling for a long time and continue to do my best.”
Moon Do-yeob, who also played in the event, finished sixth at 8-under 276.
Wang Jeong-hun tied for 26th at 4-under 280, Choi Seung-bin tied for 52nd at 1-over 285, and Kim Hong-taek tied for 56th at 2-over 286.
