Wooyoung Cho (23), the gold medalist in the men’s team golf event at last year’s Hangzhou Asian Games, won his first professional victory on the Korea Professional Golf (KPGA) Tour.
Wooyoung Jo shot 8 under par 64 strokes in the final 3rd round of the KPGA Tour The Charity Classic held at Seolhaewon CC (par 72) in Yangyang, Gangwon Province on the 20th, reaching the top with a final total of 16 under par 200 strokes. Jo Woo-young, who beat second place Heo In-hoe (37, 14 under par, 202 strokes) by two strokes, received 200 million won in prize money. Due to heavy rain during the tournament, the winner was decided through 54 holes instead of 72. Wooyoung Jo won the Golfzon Open in April last year for the first time in 10 years as an amateur player. Since I was an amateur at the time, I did not receive any prize money.
Jo Woo-young, who turned professional after winning a gold medal at the Hangzhou Asian Games along with Jang Yu-bin (22), did not show much activity until last month. He was notable for being runner-up in the Descent Korea Match Play, which ended on June 2, but was unable to make it to the top ranks in the stroke play competition, missing the cut six times.
However, Wooyoung Jo tied for 4th place at the Hyundai Marine & Fire Insurance Choi Kyung-ju Invitational earlier this month, and rose to a tie for 3rd place at the Baeksong Holdings/Asiade CC Busan Open, which ended on the 13th. And on this day, when he started the final round tied for 11th place, 4 strokes behind the leader, he created a dramatic change by using a computer shot that recorded 100% in both fairway landing rate and green hit rate. In the final 18th hole (par 5), Jo Woo-young clenched his fist and roared after dropping a 10-meter long birdie putt into the hole. After finishing the game early, he waited for about an hour for the champion group to finish the game and then received a water baptism to celebrate the victory.
Jo Woo-young said, “My performance improved after I switched to a mallet putter (horseshoe-shaped putter) recommended by Jang Yu-bin (who won twice this year). “I won my first win with ‘Pro’ Jo Woo-young, so I will continue to win the second and third wins in the future,” he said. Jo Woo-young also said, “I agree with the purpose of the charity contest and will donate 30% of the prize money, or 60 million won, to the medical expenses of child patients.”
Park Bo-gyeom (26) won the Korea Ladies Professional Golf (KLPGA) Tour Sangsang-in/Hankyung Wownet Open held at South Springs CC (par 72) in Icheon, Gyeonggi-do on this day, hitting 6 under par 66 strokes in the final 4 rounds and winning with a final total of 15 under par 273 strokes. First win of the season and second win overall. The winning prize is 216 million won.
In the LPGA Tour BMW Ladies Championship, which ended at Seowon Hills CC in Paju, Gyeonggi-do, Hannah Green (28, Australia) won with a final total of 19 under par 269, earning her third win of the season. Among Korean players, Choi Hye-jin (25) and Sung Yu-jin (24) tied for fourth place, the highest with 16 under par 272 strokes.
