Ko Jin-young, who caught the first birdie on the 10th hole (par 4) in the first half, made consecutive birdies on the 15th and 16th holes. In the second half, he made bogies on holes 4 (par 3) and 6 (par 4), but made up for it by recording consecutive birdies on holes 7 and 8.
Ko Jin-young said, “It’s a little regretful that I made two bogeys in the second half, but I think I made up for it well by reducing two strokes in the last three holes. I don’t think there is anything out there,” he said.
“Golf is always a sport that depends on the condition,” he said. “I teed off at around 1:00 pm yesterday, but the ball didn’t hit my heart, so I thought I should practice quickly and came out around 10:00. I lost a lot of stamina. Today, when I tried to get up around 5 am, I was tired because I couldn’t recover well. Yesterday, I was in really good condition, but I played an over par, and today I thought I was less recovered, but I played a better game than yesterday. Golf is I felt once again that it was a difficult and sensitive sport.”
He said, “I want to play with a little more focus. Since the course is not long, if the accuracy of the shot increases, I can always create a lot of birdie chances. I think it’s important to feel it,” he promised.
