In the first overtime played on the 17th hole (par 5), Seo Jung-min and Park Ji-seong drew with a par, and the second and third overtimes also failed to determine the winner.
Seo Jeong-min’s concentration shone in the 4th overtime. Park Ji-sung kept par while recording the bogey and won his first debut win.
Seo Jeong-min, who played baseball until the 6th grade of elementary school and picked up a golf club at the recommendation of his mother, became a KPGA pro in 2015 and a tour pro in 2017, and has been active mainly on the Srixon Tour.
Seo Jung-min said, “After the first day’s game, I was feeling a bit tired, so I got hit by an intravenous ringer and played today’s game.” I am grateful to my parents, sponsors, and coaches who have silently supported me for a long time, about 8 years after joining the pro,” he said, expressing his feeling of winning. “The average drive distance is about 320 yards. It is important for him to hit long shots, but he will improve his wedge shot and putt ability within 100m to enter the KPGA Korean Tour.”
Park Ji-seong, who lost in overtime, finished second, Shin Jae-won (28), Jeon Jun-hyeong (28), Lee Kwang-yeon (26), Kim Kyu-bin (30), and Kim Kook-jin (26) tied for third with a final total of 5 under par and 139 strokes.
