"I failed the preliminaries again. I thought I was doomed..."

Is this the power of KPGA No. 1.

Ok Tae-hoon wrote a drama with a big twist. He gained an advantageous position to seek his third win of the season.




Ok Tae-hoon hit 7 under par in the second round of the 41st Shinhan Donghae Open held at Jack Nicklaus GC Korea in Songdo, Incheon on the 12th. He was not noticeable with one under par in the first round, but he tied for the lead (based on the morning group) with Ryutaro Nagano (Japan) with a total of eight under par in the second round.

Ok Tae-hoon, who started at the 10th hole, started with a birdie from the start and reduced four strokes in the first half alone. And in the first half, we have a boring wave march He gained momentum with an eagle on the par-5 7th hole and a birdie on the par-38th hole.

Ok Tae-hoon got off to a good start with a birdie on the first hole after the second round. But the next hole tee shot went to rough. There is a lot of mud on it. I thought, 'I'm doomed today'. Originally bad at Jack Nicklaus GC. But I blocked the hall with a par. The fact that all six holes were blocked with par until the second half of the article was released is the driving force behind today's good score." Ok Tae-hoon has played many competitions on this course, but he has only passed one qualifying round.




The sixth hole in the second half was the highlight. 455m par 4. Even if it was long, it was too long. The second shot was short, but it fell on the left side of the green. an incline that has to go over the bend to the hole. Ok Tae-hoon opened the wedge completely and tried a lob shot to paste it perfectly. When the hole where the bogey could come out was blocked with par, it led to an eagle and a birdie in the next hole. Ok Tae-hoon "It was a really difficult situation. The lie was bad, and the floor was hard. I thought the flow would be cut off if I hit the bogey, so let's put it on as much as possible. I made up my mind, but I did well. The second shot distance for the next hole eagle was ambiguous. No. 3 Wood is likely to be big, and No. 5 Wood is not good, so I'm worried No. 5 Wood Gambled, and it just hit the spot."

Ok Tae-hoon became a multi-winner by winning the Gunsan CC Open in addition to the KPGA Championship in the first half. It is overwhelmingly No. 1 in Genesis points and prize money rankings. The first two tournaments in the second half were sluggish, and if the tournament performs well, the possibility of making this year his year will be very high.

Ok Tae-hoon "After the first half, I didn't have many opportunities to practice because I had a good time with good people. But I felt like I was coming back to the previous tournament, and I felt like I was getting better in the second half of the first round yesterday"First of all, the goal was to pass the qualifying round at Jack Nicklaus GC. I'll leave the remaining two days to heaven. I'll just think that I'm down there and do my best," he said with a smile. At the same time, it was Ok Tae-hoon who went to practice after eating.
