Kang Gyeong-nam, who is now 41 years old and has entered his 21st year of tour experience, said, “It takes a lot of strength to compete with young players who hit long shots,” and added, “To compete with them, I carry my bicycle in the trunk of my car and exercise my lower body whenever I have time.”

He added that recently, after taking putt lessons, his putt improved and his confidence returned.

Rookie Jang Yu-bin, Korean-Canadian Lee Tae-hoon, Miguel Carballo (Argentina), and Kim Woo-hyun were named in a tie for second place (5 under par, 66 strokes), one stroke behind Kang Gyeong-nam.

In addition, Park Sang-hyun, who is the same age as Kang Gyeong-nam and has 12 wins in total, tied for 6th place with Lee Jeong-hwan and others with 4 under par 67 strokes.
