"It's narrow and short. It suits me well. I got a feeling."
Worst season, but will it end with two wins of the season and 14 wins of the KPGA.
Veteran Park Sang-hyun of Bacchus has a chance to win the last competition of the season.
Park Sang-hyun finished tied with Moon Kyung-joon and Yoo Song-kyu in the first round of the KPGA Tour Championship in Jeju held at Teddy Valley Golf & Resort in Jeju on the 6th with six birdies without a bogey.
Park Sang-hyun, who started at the 10th hole, made a flawless play on the day, including birdies in three consecutive holes from the 12th to the 14th holes. After the game, Park Sang-hyun said, "I had good shot and putting. All the driver shots went to the fairway, and they made a lot of birdie chances. Recovery was good even when I made a mistake. It was a perfect match."

Park Sang-hyun, who has been recognized as a byword for consistency, has won 13 games in the KPGA alone. He also showed off his strong performance by winning the Dong-A Membership Group Open this year. However, he is full of regrets ahead of the season's closing. Park Sang-hyun has been on tour for 21 years, and I think this year is the worst year. Without the win, it was disappointing enough to say that almost all tournaments were eliminated from the preliminary round."But I'm glad I got the feeling at the end. I intend to finish the tournament well and prepare more." Then "I've always thought that two to three times a year there will be a chance to win. No. 1 was already used at the opening of the Dong-A Membership Group. I got the second feeling. The ball hit well from practice. It feels the same as when he won his first championship. I'm looking forward to winning the championship."

This is the first KPGA tournament to be held in Teddy Valley. Coincidentally, the opening of the Dong-A Membership Group, which Park Sang-hyun won, was also the first competition held at 300CC in Gangnam. It was also a victory in the first competition after the 2022 DB Insurance Promy Open moved to Lavievel CC. On a course that other players feel awkward about, Park Sang-hyun performs well. This is proof that the understanding and adaptability of the course are very good. Park Sang-hyun is a course where you have to hit the tee shot straight. It's narrow, it's short. There are also holes with really narrow fairways. There is no OB on this course, but it is hard to find the ball when you go outside. He explained that it was a good fit to swing 'rhythmically 'rhythmically' rather than 'strongly'.
I also didn't forget the compliment for the meticulous course management. Park Sang-hyun went around the 18th hole, but there was no single repair site. There was no divot on the fairway. Fairway, rough, and green were all the best in this year's tournament courses" he said.
