Green is small, but can you be aggressive? MZ defending champion's pleasant answer to the eldest's unexpected question (2025 Dongbu Construction · Korea Land Trust Championship)
Sep 30, 2025

The '2025 Dongbu Construction · Korea Land Trust Championship' (total prize money of 1 billion won, winning prize money of 180 million won) will be held at Iksan Country Club (par 72, preliminary 6,662 yards, and final 6,563 yards) in Jeollabuk-do for four days from October 1 to 4.
The competition adopts a different Stableford method than the existing stroke play method, providing a different attraction every year.
Variant Stableford ranks by adding up the scores on each hole performance, including 8 points for albatross, 5 points for eagle, 2 points for birdies, 0 points for par, -1 points for bogey, and -3 points for double bogey or less. Thanks to the compensation for eagle and birdie rather than one point deduction for bogey, the tour professionals will play aggressively and thrillingly.
In the media day held at the venue on the 30th, the day before the opening, 'aggressive play' was also a hot topic.

All the players included the keyword 'aggressive play' in their determination to win the championship.
Park Chu-young said, `It's a sponsor competition, so I want to win by defending myself so that I don't have a bogey with aggressive play"It would be so cool to wear a sponsor hat and win a sponsorship contest."I'm determined.
Park Ji-young, who is tied for the most wins last year and has 10 wins in her career, is also determined for the sponsorship tournament. "A player from Dongbu Construction or Korea Land Trust must win the championship. I think that would be great,' he said. `I want to do my best and do my best to be as aggressive as I can in any competition"He strongly expressed his will to achieve his first win of the season at this tournament.

Kim Min-byul, who won her first unforgettable career victory in the tournament last year, is the first competition as the defending champion, and the course is short, so birdies are available every hole. I think we should aim for as many birdies as possible on the par 5."
Kim Min-byul, who said, "'It's comforting because I feel like I got a shot from the last competition (Hite Jinro Championship) (which was a sponsor competition) after not going well this year,' also said of the secret to winning the last competition. `I've been an aggressive style since I've probably been. I will play aggressively again this time with only good memories last week."
The eldest sister Park Joo-young, who was curiously looking at the youngest's bold ambition from the next seat, asked "How do you hit aggressively when the green is small?" Iksan CC, which opened in 1971, is a traditional golf course and has a very small green because it is a two-green.
