On June 28, Jeong shot a final round of 3-under-par 69 at the tournament course in Gunsan, Jeollabuk-do, which included one eagle, four birdies, and three bogeys.
With a total score of 17-under-par 271, Jeong finished four strokes ahead of second-place Kim Sung-hyun, who recorded a total of 13-under-par 275. Jeong's victory earned him a prize of 222,818,000 won.
Since debuting on the KPGA Tour in 2017, Jeong had not secured a win until this tournament. He had struggled this season, failing to finish in the top 10 in any event prior to this. However, at his 164th tournament, he finally broke his long winless streak.
This victory also helped Jeong erase the disappointment from two years ago when he led the Gunsan CC Open until the 15th hole but ultimately lost to Jang Yu-bin by two strokes after failing to score on the final three holes.
Kim Sung-hyun, who returned to the domestic circuit after competing on the PGA Tour, achieved his best result of the season with this runner-up finish.
Kim Tae-hoon finished third with a total score of 11-under-par 277, while amateur Yoo Min-hyuk, who received an invitation to compete, placed fourth with a score of 9-under-par 279.
Meanwhile, Jang Yu-bin, who was aiming for a historic third consecutive win, struggled on the final day, losing three strokes and finishing tied for 14th with a total score of 6-under-par 282.
Following this tournament, the KPGA Tour has completed its first-half schedule and will enter a three-week break before resuming with the Dong-A Membership Group Open on August 20, kicking off the second half of the season.
