(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Kwon Hoon = Choi Gyeong-ju (51), a longtime sign of Korean golf, showed off his rust-free skills and ignited the ninth challenge of winning the US Professional Golf (PGA) Tour.
On the 29th (Korean time) on the 29th (Korean time), in the first round of the PGA Tour Farmers Insurance Open (total prize money of $7.5 million) held at the Tory Pines Golf Club Book Course (par 72) in La Jolla, California, USA, he swung 6 under par 66 strokes.
Choi Gyeong-ju, who played in a flawless play of six buddies without a look, was tied for fourth place, two shots behind joint leaders Patrick Reed (USA) and Alex Noren (Sweden).
Choi Gyeong-ju, who debuted on the senior tour last year, but also goes on a PGA tour last year, had twice as many cuts as passing cuts last year.
At the Sony Open for the first time in the new year, he hit at-bats in his 60s for three days, and on the first day of the second contest, he missed the green only three times.
Like a’bunker ghost’, he fell into the bunker twice, but he did not lose the number of strokes.
Most of all, there were few mistakes in the mid-long range putt. In the 17th hole (par 5), the ball was raised on the green in two times, and the 10-meter-distance Eagle putt was stopped right next to the hole and finished with a light birdie.
Choi Gyeong-ju has a deep connection with the Farmers Insurance Open, winning second place in 2014 and 2016.
Choi Gyeong-ju, who won the 8th player’s championship in 2011, has been challenging his career for 9 wins for 10 years.
Kim Si-woo (26), who was on the 25th to win a record of three wins in total, also set a foothold for winning for two consecutive weeks.
Kim Si-woo, who played on the book course, tied 3 birdies and 1 bogie on the 5th hole (par 5) eagle, hitting 4 under par 68, and tied for 21st place.
The sharp iron shot was still there, but the putt fell short of expectations.
Roh Seung-yeol, 30, who participated in the second tournament this season, also reduced 4 strokes on the book course.
Roh Seung-yeol, who started the game in the 10th hole, played an impressive role in picking out 5 birdies from the last 6 holes in the second half of the 4th and 9th holes.
Lim Seong-jae, 23, wrote a 3-under par 69 in the book course.
As expected, the top of the leaderboard was crowded with players who played in the book course.
In this competition, rounds 1 and 2 alternate between the north course and the south course, and rounds 3 and 4 only round the south course.
The South Course, which hosts the US Open this year following 2008, is easier than the North Course.
Out of the top 15 players, only two of the top 15 players played the first round on the South Course, including two lead and Noren, who hit an 8-under par.
That’s why the first round ranking doesn’t mean much.
Peter Malnutty (USA) and Ryan Palmer (USA) drew attention by hitting 6 under par 66 in the South Course.
Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland), who first appeared at the PGA Tour this year, showed off her skill by hitting 4 under par 68 on the South Course.
With an average of 332.7 yards, McIlroy’s shot was accurate enough to miss the green once.
