Kim Min-hwi, a former member of the U.S. PGA Tour and national team, won the right to participate in the national title championship through qualifying.
Kim Min-hwi won the final qualifying round for the 67th Korean Open Golf Championship, which was held on the 12th and 13th at Raviebel Country Club Dunes Course in Chuncheon, Gangwon-do.
Jung Jae-hyun, Hyung-il, Kim Hyun-wook, and Jung Tae-yang passed the cut line with 6-under 136, Park Young-gyu, Moon Ji-won with 5-under 137, Kim Min-hwi, Wada Shotaro (Japan), Jang Jun-hyung, Kim Jun-hyung 2241, and Ahn Ji-min with 4-under 138, Kim Ki-hwan, Kim Hak-hyung, Hwang Do-yeon, and Jeon Jae-han with 3-under 139.
Kim Min-hwi was second in the 2015 tournament (9 under par 275) and third in the 2011 tournament (7 under par 277). Kim Min-hwi, who passed the preliminary round, tries to win this competition.
Kim Min-hwi, who started at the 10th hole, reduced five shots from the first nine holes. He made a quadruple bogey on the second hole (par 4). It's a pity that the flow is broken, but you have a good sense of it. "You have to calculate the distance well because the wind is spinning on this course. I think the rough will be prolonged during the tournament. The fairway is going to feel narrow, so the exact shot is important."
The competition will be held at the same venue for four days from the 22nd to the 25th. The total prize money is 1.4 billion won and the prize money is 500 million won.
