The competition is open to participation if one of the top 70 categories in the Korean Tour Genesis points and Genesis prize money rankings this season. Sixty-one players participated in the tournament, and the winner will be decided after 72 holes in the fourth round without failing to make the cut.

In the second half, Lee Jae-kyung tied for first place with his concentration of making consecutive birdies at the 17th par 3 and 18th holes par 4 in the last minute.

Lee Jae-kyung said in an interview with the Korean Tour after the match, "As I keep doing the rounds, my putt is coming up. As a result, he saved well in a crisis situation and was able to reduce the number of strokes when the opportunity came," he said. "The putt is really good. His shot is also steady. "I'm playing while focusing on putting rather than shooting," he said.

Lee Jae-kyung then explained, "When I come to play at Seowon Valley Country Club, I always think of good memories before, so I play in a good mood," adding, "When I was a middle school student, I won the Daebo Group Bae Maekyung Amateur Championship at Seowon Hills Country Club located under Seowon Valley Country Club in 2014."

Jeon Sung-hyun also said in an interview with the Korean Tour, "Today's iron shot was the worst for three days of the tournament, but I think I generally made a mistake not to lose my number of strokes. "My tee shot was unstable, but I managed it well whenever a crisis came, so I was able to enter the competition for the championship," he said.

Jeon Sung-hyun then explained, "I wasn't mentally nervous whenever I had a chance to win, but I think I was nervous."

"I passed the cut in all the competitions in the second half of this season, and I was worried a lot about the faster swing rhythm, but as I practiced steadily, my iron shot got better from last week, and the overall flow is not bad," he said. "I think this week will be a little different because I have learned valuable lessons through trial and error." I will do my best," he said.

Ham Jung-woo, who was in the "Top 5" for the entire three days of the tournament, shot a 2-under 69 with three birdies and one bogey on the day, recording an interim total of 6-under 207, trailing the joint first place by one stroke, and tied for third place with Shin Sang-hoon.

"Iron shot was good, so it was easy to hit the green. Golf isn't over until the gloves are taken off, and we need to watch the results of other players, but I think it has an advantageous position on the target. "I want to win the Genesis prize money king by winning the championship," he said.

Kim Chan-woo reduced three strokes to fifth place with a 5-under 208, while Kim Seung-hyuk, Jeong Han-mil and Kang Yoon-seok tied for sixth with a 4-under 209, respectively. 토토사이트
