Moon Do-yeop succeeded in winning multiple games in the first season of his life.
Moon Do-yeop scored 8 under par in the final round of the KPGA Tour KPGA Founders Cup, which ended at Yeongam45 in Golf Zone County on the 7th, and won the title with a total of 26 under par in the fourth round. The prize money is 140 million won.
Moon Do-yeop, who won the GS Caltex Maekyung Open trophy this spring, will record a multiple wins in 14 years since his debut on the KPGA Tour in 2013. This is the fifth win in his career. With this victory, he also ranked third in Genesis points and third in prize money.
The following is the question and answer with Moon Do-yeop after winning the championship.
-He achieved his first multiple wins. How do I feel about winning?
▶For the first time this year, he achieved multiple wins. I feel really good. It was never easy to win more than one, but I finally achieved multiple wins. If possible, I would like to win another championship before the end of this season. (laughs)
-I won the championship by four strokes from second place. What's the secret to winning by a comfortable margin?
▶I didn't let up until the end of the game. I think I was able to win with a good score because I concentrated well when I had a chance to reduce my score throughout the tournament.
-It rained a lot today. Was there any influence on the weather?
▶It was much less windy than yesterday. It rained throughout the tournament, but I was able to play cooler than yesterday. The weather was not significantly affected.
-It has been 14 years since the KPGA Tour's debut. Explain Moon Do-yeop's Golf?
▶He seems to be more gritty than others. I don't try to settle down in the present and practice steadily, so I think I'm still getting better gradually. I always like golf and play it, and I also do a lot of research on golf.

▶From the previous competition to this competition, there were many birdie chances and iron shots were good, but there were many birdie opportunities that were missed. I tend to pull the starting line little by little, but I've practiced starting in place more, so I've improved. I think I was able to get a lot of birdies because I tried to make up for my shortcomings.
-How did you prepare for the second half of the year?
▶ During the break, I practiced a lot with coach Lee Jae-hyuk to make up for my shortcomings. In particular, we prepared a lot to prevent bad posture from coming out when swinging. There are times when my body leans forward when I swing, but I practiced to fix it. There are still times when it's tilted during the game, but I'm trying to catch it carefully, so it seems that less bad posture is coming out than before.
-He achieved his first multiple wins since his debut on the KPGA Tour. What's your personal goal?
▶First of all, he certainly has a desire to win the 'Genesis Grand Prize'. Since I still have a big dream about the PGA Tour, I want to try the Conferry Tour. Although the schedule for the second half of this season has yet to be finalized, it plans to participate in the Asian Tour in early October.
