Kim Bo-mi (NH Nonghyup Card), still without a title on the Professional Billiards Association (PBA) tour, will face Lim Jung-sook (Crown Haitai), who is chasing her sixth career win, for the championship trophy.
Kim advanced to the final by sweeping Lee Sun-young 3-0 (11-3, 11-7, 11-10) in the women's semifinal of the 2026-2027 season's fifth tour, the zgm NH Nonghyup Card PBA-LPBA Championship, held on the 24th at the KINTEX PBA Stadium in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province.
Kim, who had beaten 19-time champion Kim Ga-young (Hana Card) 3-1 in the quarterfinals the previous day, followed up by comfortably taking the first and second sets of the semifinal before falling behind 5-10 in the third. She then scored three points in the 13th inning, two in the 16th and one in the 17th to turn the set around 11-10 and close out the match. Kim has competed on the LPBA tour since its inaugural season and had reached three finals before, finishing runner-up each time.
Her fourth final will be against Lim, a five-time champion. Lim defeated Lee Mi-rae (High1 Resort) 3-1 (11-7, 11-9, 10-11, 11-5) in the semifinals. Lim, who won five titles including three in the LPBA's first season, has reached her first final in two years and eight months, since the eighth event of the 2023-2024 season.
