In his second year on the Korean Professional Golf Association (KPGA) Tour, Jang Yoo-bin is a force to be reckoned with.

He is ranked first in longest stroke, first in average, first in Genesis Grand Prize points, and third in the money list.

His longest hit is particularly impressive.

With an average distance of 311.42 yards, he is the only player to exceed 310 yards.

His average is even better than Chan-min Jung, who is known as the “monster long hitter” on the KPGA Tour. Chan-min is fifth on the KPGA Tour’s longest-hitting list with an average distance of 307.14 yards this season.

“When Chan-min misses, I go farther than him. If I hit it right, I can’t beat him,” but Jang’s long game is second to none on the KPGA Tour.

However, Jang is winless this year. Her seven top-10 finishes, including three runner-up finishes, show that she has had plenty of chances to win, but she hasn’t been able to cross the threshold.

In particular, on the final day of the Bizplay-Wonder Club Open last month, Jang fell to her knees in overtime after being caught by Heo In-hoe, who was five strokes behind her.

Jang fired an 8-under 64 in the second round of the KPGA Tour’s Gunsan CC Open on Wednesday at the Gunsan Country Club Tournament Course (par 72) in Gunsan, North Jeolla Province.

It was a near-perfect round, with eight birdies and no bogeys.

Above all, Jang Yubin said her biggest achievement was that she was able to shake off the pain of her upset loss 12 days earlier, which could have been a “traumatic experience.

“I’ve erased the memory of the upset loss,” said Jang, who cried profusely on the day of the upset, “but if I hadn’t performed well in this tournament, it would have been a bit difficult.”

Jang avenged her first back-to-back losses in the history of the Gunsan CC Open.

Jang Yubin won her first title at the event last year, but this is her first title defense.

Lee Soo-min and Joo Heung-cheol are the only two players to have won the Gunsan CC Open twice in the 11 editions held up until last year, but no one has ever won back-to-back titles.

“I think I have a good match with Gunsan CC,” said Jang Yubin. I remember playing well here last year,” Jang said, adding that he was quite confident about the course.

In particular, Jang utilized her long game by birdieing all four par-5 holes.

On No. 2 (par-5, 574 yards), she hit her tee shot 321 yards and then hit her second shot 236 yards to get the ball over the pond and onto the green, while on No. 9 (par-5, 596 yards), she hit her tee shot 326 yards and then hit her second shot 232 yards, leaving it 40 yards in front of the green for an easy birdie.

On the 16th hole (par-5, 563 yards), he hit his tee shot 313 yards and got the ball on the green in two for an easy birdie.

On the 11th hole (par-5, 569 yards), where the right side is a penalty area, he chose to cut off his second shot for birdie.

“I hit my tee shots with more direction than distance,” she said, but it was clear that her long game was her biggest weapon.

“I want to play while enjoying myself rather than trying to win, and today I had a lot of fun talking to my caddie and enjoying myself. I’m sure I’ll be nervous on the weekend, but if I try to enjoy it to the fullest, I think I’ll have a good performance on the remaining two days. I hope to keep the pace I’m playing at and finish well on the final day.”

Jang Yubin played in shorts on the day.

A day before the tournament began, the KPGA Tour announced that for the first time ever, shorts would be allowed in competition. Considering the heat, shorts were only allowed for this tournament for a limited time, and Jang, who had worn long pants the day before, opted for shorts.

“I’ve always worn shorts when I go to training camp, and I’ve played in shorts when I go to overseas tournaments. It’s still awkward to wear shorts on the KPGA Tour, but I’m comfortable and happy with it.” 메이저사이트
