Blog Article
Jang Yu-bin took first place in the second round of the Korea Professional Golf (KPGA) Tour Biz Play/Wonder Club Open
(total prize money of 700 million won).
Jang Yu-bin recorded 5 under par 66 with 7 birdies and 1 double bogey in the second round of the second day of the
tournament held at Incheon Club 72CC Haneul Course (par 71, 7,103 yards) on the 28th.
Jang Yu-bin, who hit a midterm total of 12 under par and 130 strokes, reached the turning point of the tournament by
taking sole first place, one stroke ahead of Choi Seung-bin, who was in second place.
Yubin Jang won the Gunsan CC Open in August last year when he was an amateur, and later won a gold medal in the
men's team event at the Hangzhou Asian Games in October.
He turned pro after the Asian Games and has finished runner-up twice this year, and tied for third place at the Korea Open
last week.
Jang Yu-bin, who has no wins this season but is ranked first in scoring average (69.81 strokes), said in a post-game
interview, "My putting has improved this year, so my confidence has grown, and this is leading to my performance,"
adding, "However, it seems like I haven't gotten past the final 카지노사이트킹 step to win."
He is ranked first in average distance this season with 313.3 yards. “Today’s 17th hole (par 4) double bogey was also a long
hitter, so my accuracy was a little low and I made a tee shot mistake,” he said. “If you lose a lot of points in one hole like
this,” he said. “There are often,” he said, pointing out points that need to be improved.
Jang Yu-bin said, "This season's goal is to win the Genesis Award," and added, "This course requires a strategy of cutting
the ball rather than just sending it far, so wedge shots and putting battles will be important," revealing her strategy for the
remaining 3rd and 4th rounds.
Choi Seung-bin, winner of the KPGA Championship last June, recorded 11-under 131 strokes, finishing the tournament in
sole second place after tying for second the previous day.
Choi Jin-ho, who has 8 wins in total on the tour, made 6 birdies on this day and ranked alone in 3rd place with 10 under
par and 132 strokes.
Seo Yo-seop, who was the leader the day before, was pushed down the rankings to 8 under par 134 strokes and a tie for 6th
place due to 3 bogeys in the last 4 holes.
Kim Min-kyu, who won the Korea Open last week, lost six strokes on the day and finished with a score of 6-over 148,
falling far short of the cut threshold of 2-under par.
