"It felt like I cleaned the road."

'Cutiful' Park Hyun-kyung looked back at the first round of the KLPGA Tour 2024 Hanwha Classic (total prize money of 1.7 billion won and winning prize money of 306 million won).

Park Hyun-kyung recorded 16 consecutive pars from hole 3 to hole 18. He started with a pleasant birdie on the first hole (par 5), but his second shot on the second hole (par 4) fell into the bunker. He got on the green with his third shot, but his par putt at the 9.5m point missed and became a bogey. He kept batting in the rest of the hole, but the result was even par. Buddy rarely came out.

In the second round, Park Hyun-kyung proved that she did not have the power to win three games this season.

In the eighth hole (par 4), he also cut four pars in the first half, making a birdie with a chip shot he tried around the green 11.5 meters away from the hole cup.

Park Hyun-kyung said, "Yesterday, I felt as if I had polished my way by recording 16 consecutive pars"I thought I would be able to reduce the score in the second round if I didn't get hurt by yesterday's game, and I believed I would be able to play well today." he said. "I was going to be satisfied with just reducing the score on this difficult course, but I made a lot of chances because I had a good shot, and it was a day where I had a lot of chip-in birdies and birdies," he said. I also like fast greens, but I think I didn't get used to the slowness of the grass yesterday in the afternoon. The speed was good because it was morning. I finished it well in my style"I looked back. Then "I'm satisfied because I feel like I've overcome this course. It's a course with fear, so it's meaningful that I've overcome it.'
