(Icheon = Yonhap News) Reporter Kwon Hoon = Ji Hansol (26) has won twice so far, both at the South Springs Country Club (par 72) in Icheon, Gyeonggi Province.
His first win in 2017 was at the ADT Caps Championship at South Springs Country Club, and his second at the E1 Charity Open held here last year.
In the first round of the E1 Charity Open (total prize of 800 million won) held at the South Springs Country Club on the 27th, Hansol Ji tied 7 birdies and 1 bogey and hit a 6-under 66 to take the lead in the clubhouse.
Ji Han-sol, two strokes ahead of second-placed Kim Rian (23), turned on the blue light for two consecutive championships and the first win of the season.
Hansol Ji said, “I think it has something to do with this course. I felt at ease today. I played the best game this year. I had a hard time not seeing the putt line well, but today I didn’t worry if I couldn’t see the putt line well.” .
Hansol Ji, who started the game on the 10th hole, made stepping-stone birdies on the 10th, 12th, and 14th holes, and boosted the momentum with consecutive birdies on the 17th and 18th holes.
The shot was sharp enough that the longest birdie putt was 5m.
Hansol Ji, who drew a 2m birdie on the 4th hole (par 4), put a birdie putt over 10m on the 5th hole (par 3).
On the 9th hole (par 4), it was Jade’s tee that he missed the green and then missed the 2m par putt.
Ji Han-sol, who ranked in the top 10 three times in seven tournaments this year, confessed that the putts could not support the climax of the shot, and that he was upset. He said that his putt anxiety worsened and he made short putt mistakes.
Hansol Ji said, “I couldn’t understand the putt line well, so I wasn’t sure when putting it.” “Putting has improved since the last tournament (Doosan Match Play Championship). said
He did not hide that he had a lot of trouble with the putt, saying, “The reason I got into the top 10 three times is because of my good shots.”
Getting out of the putts was also helpful, but Hansol Ji’s leap forward was a perfect match with South Springs Country Club.
Hansol Ji explained, “The green here should not be aimed directly at the pin. You need to know how to use the slope of the green.” He explained, “I used that slope well.”
Ji Hansol said, “My goal is to pass the cut before the competition. It is said that the player who has won the tournament twice has a separate injury. It’s private, so I’ll have to get it and know the contents,” he said, showing his enthusiasm for winning the tournament for the second time in a row.
Ji Hansol said, “I thought this tournament would be a turning point as the putts came alive. I thought I could achieve the best performance this season.”
Rookie Seo-jin (21) is poised to continue the rookie storm by climbing to second place, one shot behind Ji Han-sol.
Seo Jin-jin, a former national team member, had a difficult time adjusting to the KLPGA Tour stage contrary to expectations, such as missing the cut four times in the six competitions this year.
Rihan Kim (23) and Jiwon Hong (22) shot a 4-under 68 and tied for third place.
Hong Jeong-min (20), who won the Doosan Match Play Championship for the first time in her career on the 22nd and challenged for the championship for two weeks in a row, traded two birdies and two bogeys to score an even-par 72.
