"It's difficult to adjust to jet lag 3 bogeys with 3 putts"
“It’s a tough schedule, but it’s fun to meet Korean fans.”
Seongjae Lim answers questions.
Lim Seong-jae, who plays on the PGA Tour, passed the first day of the Korea Professional Golf (KPGA) Tour tour without difficulty after a difficult battle with jet lag.
Seongjae Lim hit 2 under par 70 in the first round of the KPGA Tour Woori Finance Championship (total prize money of 1.5 billion won) held at Ferrum Club (par 72) in Yeoju, Gyeonggi-do on the 25th.
He is tied for 28th place, 5 strokes behind Jang Dong-gyu and Choi Jae-hoon, who tied for the lead with a 7 under par 65.
Seongjae Lim, winner of this competition last year, is defending his title this time.
Lim Seong-jae, who competed in a domestic tournament six months after last year's Genesis Championship, seemed to have a hard time adjusting to jet lag because he boarded a plane to Korea immediately after finishing the RBC Heritage PGA Tour special event.
I caught 5 birdies, but also had 3 bogeys, all of which were 3-putt bogeys.
Lim Seong-jae said, "I went to bed at 9 p.m. last night and tried to wake up around 6 or 7 a.m., but I woke up at 4 a.m. I teed off at 12:40 p.m., so it was a very long day." He added, "The hardest thing is putting because I can't adapt to the time difference." “My lines were confused and my concentration was low,” he said. 메이저사이트
In particular, he had a hard time with his sense of putt distance. In the 15th hole (par 4), I hit a 5m birdie putt too long and made a bogey.
He complained, “I got a 3-putt even where I shouldn’t have had a 3-putt.”
Seongjae Lim, who was behind the leading group by 5 strokes during the first to third rounds of this competition last year, but came from behind to win the final round, said, "Other players are playing better than last year. The winning score is likely to be lower, too." “I will enjoy the cheering,” he pledged.
Lim Seong-jae, who won this tournament last year and returned to the PGA Tour but struggled, including missing the cut at the PGA Championship, said, "Of course it is a difficult schedule, but it is good to meet domestic fans at least once a year. I will think positively." He expressed that he did not mind the schedule of traveling across the country.
“At the tee box of the first hole, fans were taking pictures of me with their cell phone cameras, saying to each other, ‘Please look here.’ When I play in the United States, so many fans never come to see me,” said Lim Seong-jae, adding, “It’s a feeling that can only be felt in Korea.” I smiled.
Lim Seong-jae, who starts the second round at 8 a.m. on the 26th, said, "I think I can start early tomorrow and come out in better condition. I missed the fairway often today. Tomorrow, if more tee shots go into the fairway, there will be more birdie opportunities." “He expressed his anticipation.”
Seongjae Lim added, "I usually don't drink caffeine during competitions because my heart is racing. I thought about drinking coffee, which I didn't drink before, but I ended up not drinking a single cup." 슬롯사이트
