[Sports Round-up] Kim Hyo-joo successfully defends Ladies European Tour title on home soil

Time now to take a look at what's been happening in the world of sports.

Joining us in the studio is our sports editor, Paul Neat.

Welcome, Paul.

Thank you.

Let's begin with golf. A win on home soil for Kim Hyo-joo.

Yes, the LPGA veteran successfully defended her European Tour title.

She won the Aramco Korea Championship on Sunday, following a final round card of three-under 69.

This meant a 7-under par 209 finish, two strokes clear of Chiara Tamburlini of Switzerland.

Kim takes home 225-thousand U.S. dollars in prize money.

She won the same tournament last year, doing so wire to wire for what was the Ladies European Tour's debut in South Korea.

It's her third win overall, to go with seven wins on the LPGA Tour.

To football now. Son Heung-min is back from an injury layoff.

Yes, he was back in the Spurs squad on Sunday.

For the first time since April 11th -nine games ago.

He picked up a foot injury in a Europa League tie with Eintracht Frankfurt and has been out since then.

Son came off the bench in the second half, replacing Pedro Porro in the 58th minute.

Spurs lost 2-0 to Crystal Palace and sit 17th in the table.

The team's major focus now is the Europa League final against Manchester United on May 21st in Bilbao.

Son's return is timely given that Spurs are looking for their first trophy since 2008, and Son is looking for the first trophy of his career.

Sticking with football and trophies, Kim Min-jae was finally able to get his hands on one in a Bayern Munich shirt.

Yes, Bayern eventually did seal the Bundesliga title.

They actually did so when Bayer Leverkusen in second drew 2-2 with Freiburg last weekend.

But on Saturday, after a 2-0 win over Borussia Mönchengladbach, he and the rest of the Bayern players were presented with the trophy.

It's Kim Min-jae's first with Bayern Munich in what is his second season with the club.

He's featured in 27 league games this season, playing 77 percent of all possible minutes, and scoring two goals.

It's his second league title in Europe, having also won the Scudetto with Napoli in 2023.

And finally, to baseball. Hanwha Eagles just can't be stopped at the moment.

Right, 12 wins in a row now.

Something that hasn't been done by Hanwha in 33 years.

It's been down to some dominant starting pitching and late-game offensive surges.

If they beat the Doosan Bears on the 13th, they'll tie for 7th on the all-time win streak list.

And, sweeping the series could break the team's all-time record of 14.

The Eagles soared to the top of the standings on April 26th and have a record of 27 wins and 13 losses.

They also lead the league in comeback wins and pinch-hit batting average, while starter Ryu Hyun-jin and closer Kim Seo-hyun have become a near-unbeatable combo.

This could be a historic season for the Eagles, who, for the last six seasons, have finished in the bottom three of the KBO standings including dead last on three occasions.

Their last Korean Series dates back to 1999, while their last league championship was in 1992.

Much to look forward to.

Thanks for that wrap-up, Paul.

See you next week.

Thank you.
