11 months after winning the Korea Open, “I calmed down while watching Choi Kyung-ju.”

 

 

Seungsoo Han, a Korean-American, won the championship in the Korea Professional Golf (KPGA) Korean Tour 'KB Financial Live Championship' (total prize money of 700 million won, winner's prize of 140 million won) after a close battle in the rain in the last round.

Seungsoo Han recorded 1 under par 71 with 3 bogeys and 4 birdies in the final 4th round of the tournament held at Seonsan (par 72) in Golf Zone County, Gumi-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do on the 26th.

Han Seung-soo, who recorded a final total of 11 under par 277 strokes, beat Kim Yeon-seop, who ranked second (10 under par 278 strokes), by just one stroke and ascended to the top.

With this, Seungsoo Han achieved his third KPGA Korean Tour victory in his career. It has been 11 months since winning the Korea Open in June last year.

Han Seung-soo, who recorded even par on the first day and tied for 40th place, reduced his score by 5 strokes in the 2nd and 3rd rounds to take the sole lead in the 3rd round.

In the match played in heavy rain, Han Seung-soo hit a total of three bogeys on the 7th, 10th, and 11th holes, but succeeded in reducing the number of strokes by catching 4 birdies. 스포츠 토토사이트

In the 4th round, Kim Yeon-seop made 4 birdies without making a bogey and the battle was close until the end, but Han Seung-soo eventually took first place. Han Seung-soo said, “The course was difficult and it rained, so it wasn’t easy to maintain the lead and lead to the win. (Rather) not trying to keep it was what helped me win.” In addition, he said, “After the third round, I thought about winning a lot,” but added, “I tried not to get ahead of myself and focused on the process throughout today’s game, and ended up winning.” Regarding his poor performance this season, he said, “I was poor compared to last year because I could not maintain concentration or flow,” but added, “After seeing Choi Kyung-ju’s victory scene last week, I thought, ‘It’s all an excuse,’ and I calmed down.” Regarding his future plans, he said, “Now that I have reported my first win of the season, I will check my current position and re-set my goals and plans,” and expressed his ambition, saying, “I want to win a large-scale KPGA tour tournament.” He also expressed confidence in winning the 'Kolon Korea Open', where he will participate as the 'defending champion' in about a month. “It may not be easy, but it is a course I can play well in,” he said with a smile, “I want to have fun playing.” Meanwhile, Kim Min-gyu and Lee Tae-hee, who lost two strokes on the day, tied for third place with a final total of 8 under par 280 strokes. Bang Doo-hwan, who had been in the lead throughout the tournament, lost 3 strokes with 3 bogeys and 1 double bogey and finished the tournament tied for 16th place (3 under par, 285 strokes). Kim Dong-min, the champion of this tournament last year, missed the cut in the second round with a score of 4 over par and 148 strokes. 한국야동
