A rebellion of newcomers that even Kim Hong-taek could not stop.

Yoon Seo-joon lifted the trophy with emotion at the first-ever G Tour major competition.

Yoon Seo-joon is expected to become the first major champion with a total of 20 under par in the final round of the third round of the G Tour's first major tournament '2025 Shinhan Investment & Securities G Tour' held at Joeymaru in Daejeon Golf Zone on the 15th.

Ahead of the third tournament, the G Tour held a major tournament under an exceptional condition of 150 million won in total prize money. With the prize money of 30 million won alone, the winner was given a three-year seed on the G Tour and a berth to the 'KPGA Classic'.

Yoon Seo-joon entered the final round as the sole first place as a result of the first round of the preliminary round. I saw my first hole, but this was the medicine. He succeeded in bounce back right away with a birdie on the second hole, and beat senior players known for their explosive performance with 10 birdies in the final round alone. Yoon Seo-joon, with his skill that improved not only sophisticated iron shots but also powerful distance, increased the gap in pars with other players in the second half alone, maintaining his unique composure and recording his second GTOUR career win and major championship record with his overwhelming performance. Yoon Seo-joon won the fourth competition last year and announced his potential.

What was bound to be nervous about Yoon Seo-joon was Kim Hong-taek, the star of the G Tour, who tied for second place ahead of the final round. There was also veteran Soon Bum-joon. However, Kim Hong-taek, who was pushed back by Yoon Seo-joon's stable game, had to settle for a tie for second place by four strokes. Soon Bum-joon also tied for sixth place.

Meanwhile, KPGA stars Jung Chan-min and Kim Chan-woo also participated in the game to entertain fans.

Winner Yoon Seo-joon said, "It seems to be more meaningful to be able to go on the first part of the tour with the privilege of the G Tour screen major."I would like to thank the players who played with the golf zone and sponsor officials for allowing them to practice in a good environment. We will try to achieve good results on the screen and in the field in the future, so please support us a lot."
