"I didn't think I had a chance to win this tournament, because in the first and second rounds I wasn't playing very well", said Ryu. “Fortunately I played - 8 in the third round which allowed me to come back with a chance of victory. "

“I'm really proud of myself, because it's really good to be back in the race, we could feel the excitement in our group, with Inbee and Suzann. I loved playing with Inbee who is my best friend on the tour. She's not number one right now, but I believe she is the real number one and it was great to compete with her. "

On the French side, Marion Ricordeau finished in 14th position (+1) ahead of Valentine Derrey (16th) and Isabelle Boineau (22nd).

Gwladys Nocera did not pass the cut.

There was no suspense for the team victory, where Korea came out on top with a 15-stroke lead over Norway.
