"I won't try too hard to win."

Will Ko Ji-woo, the Buddy Bomber, be able to lift his third trophy in Yongpyeong, Gangwon Province.

Ko Ji-woo got off to a good start. Ko Ji-woo scored 8 under par in the first round of the KLPGA Tour McCall and Mona Yongpyeong Open at Birch Hill Country Club in Yongpyeong, Gangwon-do on the 27th, and was listed as a co-player along with Choi Min-kyung, Seo Jin, Lee Seung-yeon, and Choi Ye-bon.




Ko Ji-woo started at the 10th hole on the day and was only 2 under par in the first half, including a bogey at the 16th hole, but reduced the score by sweeping six birdies in the second half.

Ko Ji-woo, who won his second career victory at the High1 Resort Open last year, will try to win for the third time in his career. But I'll let go of my desire to win.

Ko Ji-woo said after the first round "Butchhill has good air and good energy. A day that went well with that good feeling "Wedgeshot was good. So there were a lot of chances for Bertie," he said, returning to the first round.




Ko Ji-woo skipped The Heaven Masters last week. At the previous tournament's Korean Women's Open, he worked hard with 8 under par in the last round, but failed to solve the previous three rounds well and tied for 16th place. I think there was an aftereffect. Ko Ji-woo said, `Last week, I took a break from the competition and only worked out. I ran hard from the beginning of the season. I thought it was okay, but I thought I needed a break after the Korean Women's Open" he said.

Ko Ji-woo said of the goal of this tournament "I emptied my mind a lot after the Korean Women's Open. The goal is to hit without getting too hung up on winning. I'll put it down and hit it" he said.
