Park Sung-hyun will participate in the Jeju Samdasoo Masters (total prize money of 1 billion won) on the KLPGA (Korea Women's Professional Golf) Tour at Blackstone CC in Jeju for four days from the 1st of next month. Park, who had a long hiatus due to a wrist injury, said, `Currently, I am focusing on improving my performance by steadily exercising my physical strength and field training"As we have had time to reorganize our bodies and minds, we will do our best to meet expectations."I threw my hat in the ring.
It is the first time in more than 10 months that Park Sung-hyun will play in an official match since the BMW Ladies Championship on the LPGA Tour, which ended at Seowon Valley in Paju on October 22, 2023. At that time, he tied for 16th place with a final total of 9 under par 279, making his best performance of the season, but was forced to distance himself from the field for a while due to injury rehabilitation.

Park Sung-hyun won the 2016 Jeju Samdasoo Masters with a 54-hole no-bogey play. It is worth guessing why he chose this tournament to return to injury. Park Sung-hyun said, `I remember winning the championship based on good performance at the time. The victory meant a lot to me personally, winning the most wins in the season and receiving the lowest at-bats award. "I'll try my best to get a good result."I'm determined. Regarding the Blackstone CC, where the competition is taking place, "It's not a familiar course, so I think I should play stable with the help of my caddie."As weather changes such as wind and heat can be variables due to the characteristics of the Jeju region, playing strategies tailored to the situation will also be important."
