March 19th through the 25th Kia Motors America hosted the 2018 Kia Classic Golf Tournament in Carlsbad, CA for the top 90 LPGA (Ladies Professional Golf Association) Members in the country. It was a competitive and lively scene at the Aviara Golf Club in Carlsbad throughout the tournament, with many gathering to watch some of the biggest name's in women's professional golf duke it out for a chance to win two new vehicles from Kia Motors - one for the top ranking winner and one if a competitor was to get a hole in one - and a winning purse of $1.8 million.

By the end of the tournament, there were several who were neck and neck in the rankings with two Americans in the tie for second and a South Korean competitor, Eun-hee Ji, holding the top ranking spot. It became clear at the 14th hole of the course that Ji would definitely be going home with not only the money and one of the vehicles, but BOTH the vehicles Kia were giving away. Because on the 14th hole Ji got a miraculous hole in one. Securing her the winner's position overall.
