Bang Shin-sil looks at Green with a serious expression.
Bang Shin-sil, the long-hitting queen of the Korean Ladies Professional Golf (KLPGA) Tour, who was defending her title for the first time in her life, suffered from poor putts and took a breather with a hole-in-one.
Bang Shin-sil recorded a 1-over-par 73 in the first round of the E1 Charity Open (total prize money of 900 million won) held at the Ferrum Club (par 72) in Yeoju-si, Gyeonggi-do on the 24th.
Bang Shin-sil, who won his first championship in this competition last year, participated this year as the defending champion.
The score on this day was disappointing as the team went into the competition with expectations of a second consecutive victory.
The cause is poor putting.
The shot was good enough to miss the green just once, but the number of putts when hitting the green reached 1.94. He three-putted three times. All of them were bad 3-putts that resulted in bogeys as they failed to add a birdie putt followed by a par putt.
In putting, Bang Shin-sil hit 3.62 strokes more than other players.
In the 4th hole (par 4), the tee shot went far beyond the fairway and ended up being a lost ball, so I lost 2 strokes at once.
Bang Shin-sil confessed, "The tee shot was okay, and the iron shot was about 2 to 3 meters away, which was the distance to aim for a birdie. There were many birdie chances, but the putting was very disappointing."
However, Bang Shin-sil laughed out loud at the 8th hole (par 3).
The ball, tee shot with a 9-iron from a distance of 146 yards, was sucked into the hole.
This is my first hole-in-one on the professional stage.
Bang Shin-sil received a 40 million won Deuxiana luxury bed set as a prize.
Bang Shin-sil was happy and said, "I still wanted the bed that I got after a hole-in-one injury during a practice round. The bed was old and I was about to change it. I will put it to good use."
In particular, thanks to the hole-in-one, he made up for the lost number of strokes by two strokes.
Bang Shin-sil said, "I had a really good shot, but I was upset because I couldn't putt. I was comforted by the hole-in-one."
Bang Shin-sil, who started the game on the 10th hole, had a 3-putt bogey on the final 9th hole (par 5).
Bang Shin-sil sweated on the practice green all afternoon, saying, “I have a lot of shortcomings in my putting today, so I will practice and make up for it.”
Bang Shin-sil pledged, "The green here is tricky. I will play tomorrow considering that I have to keep the fairway as much as possible so I can send the ball to a place where it is easy to putt." 고스톱사이트
