The Korean Professional Golf Association (KPGA) Tour has recorded its first albatross of the year, which is said to be more difficult than a hole-in-one.
On the second hole (par-5, 574 yards) of the third round of the KPGA Tour‘s Gunsan CC Open at the Gunsan Country Club Tournament Course (par-72) in Gunsan-si, Jeollabuk-do on Wednesday, Kang’s second shot with a 3-wood traveled 272 yards into the hole.
It was a so-called albatross, three shots under regulation. In the United States, an albatross is also called a double eagle.
The odds of an albatross are said to be about 1 in 2 million. It is much harder than a hole-in-one, which is 1 in 12,000.
There have been eight hole-in-ones on the KPGA Tour so far, but this is the first.
Kang Kyung-nam, who made his debut in 2004 and has played on the KPGA Tour for 21 years, has made seven hole-in-ones.
This is the 12th albatross on the KPGA Tour since official records were kept.
It’s been a year and 10 months since Moon caught an albatross on the 17th hole (par-5, 574 yards) in the second round of the Biz Play Electronics Newspaper Open in September 2022.
Gunsan Country Club, the tournament’s co-host, offered Kang a year’s membership to Gunsan Country Club Resort as a prize.
It also gave him three two-day and one-night rounds and resort passes. 토토사이트 추천
