The second-year middle school golfer, who ranks first in the school, even won with a 260m long shot.

Junior prospect Joo Hae-in (14, Mangyeong Middle School 2) is the main character of the talk.

Joo Hae-in won in the amateur category of the 8th Dream Field Tour held at Gunsan Country Club Gimje and Jeongeup Course (par 70) on the 14th with a 4-over 74. Kim Ji-hwan and Lee Dong-wook tied for second place.

Joo Hae-in overwhelmed his peers with a long shot that exceeded the driver's distance of 260 meters. From professional seniors who played in the same group "Swing is soft and cheerful for a young age"I like Rory McIlroy, and my dream is to work hard and become a world-class player like him," he said.

He started playing golf when he was in 6th grade, and although he was late compared to his peers, he is growing up day by day to make a maximum distance of 280 meters with a soft swing.

Rumor has it that he/she was so good at studying that he/she struggled for the first place in Mangyeong Middle School and thought about his/her dream of becoming a golfer. He is fluent in English due to his foreign life, so if he advances to his dream PGA in the future, he can be a big success.

Park Do-hyung (31), a professional tour player, won his first title in his eighth attempt at the Dream Field Tour.

Park Do-hyung recorded a 3-under 67 on the day, beating the pursuit of Jeon Jung-sung (both 2-under 68) by one stroke to the top. Amid the fierce competition for the championship due to a large number of all-time Dream Field Tour champions, Sung Joon-min, the winner of the fifth tournament, tied for fourth place, and Park Sung-pil, Song Jae-ho, and Kim Ha-neul, a member of the multi-winner club, tied for seventh place side by side.

It was a valuable first win after eight out of seven games.

Park Do-hyung, who has continued to participate in the Dream Field Tour to build his sense of practice ahead of the regular tournament, has been at the top of the tournament, tied for fourth place in the fifth and sixth tournaments and tied for third place in the seventh tournament, but failed to win. In the Korea Professional Golf Association (KPGA) Challenge Tour, he ranked in the top 10 nine times, including two runner-ups, but failed to overcome the last crisis. His best performance this season is tied for third place in the sixth tournament.

"I've been living with a championship for over 10 years. I knew it was never easy to win a mini-tour where the strong players of the Challenge Tour, Dream Tour, and Champions Tour compete, so I always did my best and focused every time I came out of the competition. The moment I received the trophy, I was really happy and thrilled. Taking this victory as an opportunity, I will make a fresh start in the Challenge Tour and make the championship mine within this year."
