For Korean male professional golfers, "500 million won" is a prize money that they earn. This is because the prize money, which is common among female professional golfers, is still used as the standard for the successful harvest of the year's prize money. In all seasons, only 24 times have they earned more than 500 million won. Last year, only five golfers in the Korea Professional Golf Association (KPGA) won more than 500 million won (468,890 U.S. dollars) in prize money, but 19 golfers in the KLPGA tour.토토사이트
For such Korean male players, the "500 million won" prize money given to Kolon's Korean Open champion can be said to be the "prize of desire" that they want to hold without fail. The record of the first round of Kolon's 67th Korean Open (total prize money of 1.4 billion won) held at Laviebel Dunes Course (par 71) in Chuncheon, Gangwon Province, on Tuesday is shocking.
The name is unfamiliar even to the player who was at the forefront. Jeong Yu-jun, who barely qualified for the preliminary round, shot a 6-under 65 to take the lead by two strokes. He also ranked 32nd among 38 players who passed the preliminary round. Even in his third year of the tour, he has never been ranked within the top 10 before. He had six birdies without a bogey on the day, and this is also his lowest par of 65. Currently, he ranks 76th (16.04 million won or 16.0 million won or 16.0 million won or 11.5 million won or 11.5 million dollars).
Pachara Khongwatmai (Thailand) and Jed Morgan (Australia) tied for second with a 4-under 67, while national team Kim Min-soo (Hawon Broadcasting and Telecommunications High School 2nd year) and Wang Jeong-hoon, Yoo Song-gyu, Jang Joon-hyung and David Bori Bun-seop (Thailand) shot a 3-under 68 to form a joint fourth-place group.
