Is this a 19-year-old recommended player's mind? I think it's worth trying because it doesn't spread more than two strokes, starting with Hole 16

He was expected to do well one day, but he didn't expect to make his name this hot to the world. It became a stage where he fully expressed the fact that he is the best rising star with tremendous star quality.
Kim Min-sol (19) won her first KLPGA Tour victory. Kim Min-sol won the final round of the BC Card and Hankyung Ladies Cup held at Pocheon Hills Country Club in Pocheon-si, Gyeonggi-do on the 24th with a total of 19 under par.
Kim Min-sol turned professional last year after playing as an ace for the national team, and was considered a promising player who will shake the game, but was sluggish in the seed match and went on a knife in this year's second wife Dream Tour. With four wins on the Dream Tour, he virtually confirmed that he will join the regular tour next year, and hit a 'big accident' as a recommended player for this tournament. With this victory, he will receive 270 million won in prize money, and he will be able to end his dream tour life.
He cruised to 16 under par until the second round, but slowed down in the third round to allow him to tie for the lead. The fourth round also seemed to move away from the championship by playing one over par through the 15th hole, but ended the spectacular drama by making a miraculous 10.5m eagle putt on the last par-5 18th hole with birdies in consecutive holes 16 and 17.
First professional win of my dream. How did Kim Min-sol feel.
-How do you feel about winning?
▶I played in the championship group for the first time, and it didn't work out well in the beginning, but I'm very happy to finish without giving up until the end.
-What's the power that kept you from giving up?
▶Those experiences that led this year were very helpful. I waited calmly for the opportunity without being greedy.
-Did you keep checking the score during the game? Didn't you think the lead was far from winning because there was a gap with the lead?
▶I thought I could do it enough because it's never happened more than two strokes. I thought the opportunity would come if I waited without being greedy. From the 16th hole, I thought I should throw a winning move, so I tried to play aggressively.

▶I hit it with the intention of putting it in, but I didn't know it would go in. It was a downhill line, but the green wasn't fast, so I thought let's not hit it short.
-How was your condition today?
The ▶ shot was neither good nor bad. I slept well, but I was very nervous from the day before, and I tried to keep my condition as good as possible.
-There were many disappointing results last year, but I think I overcame them this year. Was there an opportunity?
▶It was difficult because I couldn't achieve my goal last year, but people around me helped me a lot. Rather, I thought it was an opportunity to grow and I was able to work harder.For the first time, I felt that golf didn't go my way. My parents told me 'I'm sick now to become a big player', so I was able to regain my mind.
-Has there been a technological change or a change of mindset?
▶I checked the basics of swing again, and practiced to be able to play flexibly in various courses in off-season training.
-There are still more than 10 competitions left this season. What kind of player do you want to be?
▶The goal at the beginning of the season was 'Let's continue to grow.'" As I prepared well for the Dream Tour, I want to gain more experience in the regular tour now.
