KPGA’s Kang Kyung Nam wins first Albert Ross of the season

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
