The youngest national representative of the Korea Golf Association, Sunghyun Ahn (15? Bibong Middle School), has advanced to the round of 32 of the US Junior Golf Championship.

On the 25th (Korean time), in the round of 64 of the tournament held at the Oakland Hills Country Club North Course (par 70) in Detroit, Michigan, USA, Ahn Sung-hyun won by 4 holes with 2 holes remaining over Luke Moseley (USA).

Sung-hyun Ahn, who became the first Korean player to win the Junior Open Championship hosted by the Royal & Ancient Golf Club (R&A) on the 18th, is fully demonstrating her skills in this tournament as well.

Ahn Sung-hyun advanced to the main tournament after finishing tied for 12th place with a combined score of 139, 1 under par, in the first and second rounds held over the previous two days. She then continued her momentum by winning the round of 64, which was held as a match play.

An Sung-hyun recorded par saves in the first three holes, but Mosley made three consecutive birdies to fall behind by three holes.

However, he succeeded in turning the tables by winning four consecutive holes from the 5th to the 8th, and then widened the gap by recording consecutive birdies on the 10th and 11th holes (both par 4).

Sung-hyun Ahn made a double bogey on the 13th hole (par 3), but was lucky enough to win when Mosley made a triple bogey. Sung-hyun Ahn, who lost on the 14th hole (par 4), won on the 16th hole (par 4), ending the match.

An Sung-hyun will compete with Ethan Chui of the United States to advance to the round of 16.
