SINGAPORE – South Korean golferBang Shin-sil is looking to put a difficult few years behind her as she fired a flawless seven-under 65 to take the clubhouse lead in the first round of the Hana Financial Group Singapore Women’s Open on March 7.

While she claimed two wins along with seven more top-10 finishes in her rookie season of the Korean Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) in 2023, things had not been all smooth sailing for Bang.
