As the weather conditions did not improve, the headquarters of the tournament began with a one-hour delay of 7:50 a.m., followed by a second delay of 8:50 a.m., a third delay to 10:20 a.m., and a fourth delay to 11:50 a.m. As of 9:30 a.m., a delayed departure is scheduled at 11:50 a.m., a five-hour delay. The first team in the afternoon is also scheduled to depart at 4:40 p.m., a five-hour delay. As a result, it has become difficult to finish the first round of the competition before sunset.
The match on the first day of Choi Kyung-ju vs. Park Sang-hyun, which draws attention with the return match of 'Choi Kyung-ju Island', is likely to be delayed by a day.
Choi Kyung-joo (55, SK Telecom) and Park Sang-hyun (42, Dong-A Pharmaceutical), who had an extended match with Choi Kyung-joo last year, were originally scheduled to depart at 1:08 p.m. in a group with Bae Yong-joon (25, CJ), the champion of the KPGA Classic last week. However, as the fourth delay pushed it to 6:08 p.m., the possibility that the first day's departure would be canceled increased.
