players looked exhausted in the sweltering heat of 33 degrees with no wind.



Even with a birdie, the high hive is cumbersome, stepping on the caddy's foot while folding the parasol, or hiding behind a billboard in search of shade after a tee shot.



Still, the players made good shots while replenishing the lack of moisture.



The morning group took the lead while some players could not finish the match due to a lightning strike in the afternoon.



Seungyeon Lee, the longest batting leader, drove a 7-under par, and Ji-young Park took the lead with Lee Seung-yeon with an elaborate iron shot that almost turned into a shot eagle.



Min-ji Park, the 'strongest' who achieved 6 wins in the season, started off with a 3-under par with a birdie on three holes in the second half.



Jang Ha-na competed for the championship with her back heart by sweeping up four consecutive birdies at the end with a 'slam dunk'-like shot eagle even after three bogeys in the heat.
