Attention is focusing on the performances of the two players who will participate in the KPGA (Korea Professional Golf) Tour Baeksong Holdings-Asiad CC Busan Open (total prize money of 1 billion won and winning prize money of 200 million won), which will be held at Busan Asiad CC Fine and Lake Course (par 71, 7104 yards) for four days from the 10th.
In Genesis Point, Jang Yoo-bin is in the lead, and Kim Min-kyu is in second place. On the other hand, Kim Min-kyu is ranked first in the prize money list, followed by Jang Yoo-bin. Depending on the performance of this tournament, it is possible to keep or overturn the lead.
From "Bizplay-Wonder Club" Open with Club 72 to Hyundai Marine & Marine Insurance's "Choi Kyung-ju Invitational," Jang has been ranked No. 1 in Genesis points for six consecutive competitions. If Jang wins third place or higher in this competition, he can maintain his position as the leader in Genesis points regardless of Kim Min-kyu's performance.

Attention is also being paid to whether multiple winners will be born at the Baeksong Holdings-Asiad CC Busan Open.
Nine winners of this season's tour will try to win two games this season. While Kim Min-kyu is the only multi-winner, players who have won the previous competition, including Jang Yoo-bin, Yoon Sang-pil, Kim Chan-woo, Han Seung-soo, Jeon Ga-ram, Heo In-hoe, and Ham Soo-min, have challenged for multiple wins in this competition.
A total of 126 players will participate in the tournament, which marks its third anniversary this year. While Um Jae-woong, the defending champion and Busan native, is trying to win his second consecutive title, attention is being paid to whether his competitors will perform or not.
