The unstoppable stone wind was a public enemy. The lowest at-bats of the day were our 4 under par.

"There was a forecast that it was windy, so I worried a lot and went out. "Fortunately, I think I finished without making a big mistake, so I'm satisfied,' said Ko Ji-won, who expressed his feelings, `I didn't try to keep it because of the wind. It was hard to aim for birdies because the shots didn't stick well in the early and mid-season, and I had no choice but to make a par save. " He "Thanks to the forecast, I made up my mind and went out, but it wasn't as strong as I thought it would be. But it was hard to calculate because the wind turned around."

As for the moment when the birdie chance on the 14th hole became a bogey, he said "I wasn't shaken. Rather, the one mistake made me feel more comfortable. I didn't think much about the view in the rest of the hall either."




The final round may be less tense. I played in Hanjo with my best friend, Samchully Seo Kyo-rim, Yoo Hyun-jo. "They're very close players, so I think I can have fun playing it."`"Ko Ji-won, who laughed, predicted a competition in good faith, saying, `They are all good players and they look good, so they are all wary.'
