[Cheonan=Kang Byeong-koo] The 68th Kolon Korea Open Golf Championship, Korea's most prestigious national golf championship, is underway at Woojeong Hills Country Club in Cheonan, where Hakhyung KIM made a confident start in his pursuit of the coveted national title.
With a history spanning 68 years, the Korea Open stands as one of the most iconic events in Korean golf. The championship brings together the nation's top players to compete for honor, prestige, and a place in Korean golf history.
