Joint lead with rookie Choi Jae-hoon Last year’s winner Seongjae Lim was 2 under par.

Jang Dong-gyu’s tee shot.

"Before, if I didn't get good grades, I would go home and feel sad, but these days, when I look at my daughter's face, all my worries disappear."

Jang Dong-gyu, who has been a professional golfer for 16 years, became a father last February with the birth of a daughter.

This is why Jang Dong-gyu, who had not won a championship in eight years after winning the 2014 Japan Professional Golf Tour Mizuno Open and the 2015 KPGA Championship, approached this season with new determination.

Jang Dong-gyu skipped training camp ahead of this season. He instead stayed in the country and worked on correcting his swing.

I also spent a lot of time with my daughter.

He said that he feels at ease when he sees his daughter, but as he entered this season, he felt more relaxed than anxious.

Jang Dong-gyu hit a 7 under par 65 strokes in the first round of the Korea Professional Golf (KPGA) Tour Woori Financial Championship (total prize money of 1.5 billion won) held at the Ferrum Club (par 72) in Yeoju-si, Gyeonggi-do on the 25th and was tied for the lead with Choi Jae-hoon. 슬롯사이트

I caught 8 birdies, including 4 consecutive birdies and 3 consecutive birdies.

A 15m birdie putt went in at the 6th hole (par 5), but most of the shots were well placed to create a birdie opportunity.

The putting went well, but the shot fell exactly where I wanted it to.

Jang Dong-gyu, who missed the cut in both previous competitions this season, smiled brightly and said, “I think the effects of refining my shots over the winter are finally showing.”

He worked with coach Kim Joo-hyung, who was famous as a long hitter during his active career, and switched to a rhythmic swing using the lower body.

Switching to lighter irons and bringing back the putter I used before also had an effect.

Jang Dong-gyu said, "Before enlisting in 2016, once I got a birdie, I would make a birdie. Since returning from military service, I haven't been able to make a good birdie, but today I got a birdie like I used to."

Although he took the lead after a long time, Jang Dong-gyu promised not to rush.

“The results will follow,” said Jang Dong-gyu, “I will focus only on my swing and rhythm rather than the rankings.”

Still, since he had won the championship so long ago, Jang Dong-gyu did not hide his motivation, saying, “I really want to win this year.”

Rookie Choi Jae-hoon also hit a 7-under par 65, heralding a ‘rookie sensation’.

Kim Woo-hyun and Shin Yong-gu (Canada) tied for third place with 6 under par and 66 strokes.

Lee Jun-seok (Australia), who took second place after last year's champion Lim Seong-jae, and Choi Jin-ho, who led until the third round but lost the victory to Im Seong-jae on the final day, shot 4 under par 68 and finished the first round in a tie for 6th place, continuing his strong performance this year.

Seongjae Lim, who won this tournament last year, finished the first day in a tie for 28th with a 2-under par 70 strokes.

Seongjae Lim caught 5 birdies, but had trouble adjusting to jet lag and made 3 3-putt bogeys. 슬롯사이트 추천
