The 54-hole stroke play will feature 16 men and women under the age of 12, 28 men and women under the age of 15, and 44 men and women under the age of 18.
After the second round, nine men and women under the age of 12, 15 men and women under the age of 15, and 24 men and women under the age of 18 will advance to the final third round to determine the winner. If the lowest score is tied, the ranking is determined by a countback method.
Kang Seung-gu (male high school 2) and Oh Soo-min (Shin Seong high school 2) won the men's and women's under 18 last year.
Kang won the 9th Bear Creek Bae Amateur Golf Championship earlier this month. Oh Soo-min won her second consecutive title last month by winning the 49th Korean Women's Amateur Golf Championship.
Attention is focusing on whether the two rising players can succeed in defending the title.
The Korean Junior Golf Championship, which began in 1983, is a national title competition where players representing Korean golf, including Pak Se-ri, Shin Ji-ae, Ryu So-yeon, Jang Ha-na, Choi Na-yeon, Kim Hyo-joo, Lee Jung-eun 6, Kim Kyung-tae, Lim Sung-jae, and Kim Si-woo, passed.
Blue One has been sponsoring the tournament since 2018 in accordance with the will of Yoon Se-young, founder of SBS Media Group (14th, 15th chairman of KGA), for the future of Korean golf. Yoon Jae-yeon, CEO of Blue One, provides free support to Blue One Yongin Country Club for four days every year for the early discovery and growth support of excellent junior players and delivers the Golf Development Fund to KGA.
KGA Executive Director Park Jae-hyung said, `We thank Blue One officials for preparing the best course, and we hope that the players will play a great game by showing the fruits of their sweat and efforts.'
