(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Kwon Hoon = Bae Sang-moon (36) and Kang Seong-hoon (356) gave strength.

Bae Sang-moon and Kang Sung-hoon jointly hit 3-under par 69 in the first round of the Puerto Rico Open (total prize money of $3.7 million) on the PGA Tour held at the Grand Reserve Golf Club (par 72) in Puerto Rico on the 4th (Korean time). ranked 14th.

Bae Sang-moon added 1 bogey to 4 birdies, and Kang Seong-hoon caught 1 eagle and 4 birdies and added 1 double bogey and 1 bogey.

It is only 4 strokes away from the joint leading group and only 1 stroke for the tied 6th group, so the prospect of winning the top ranks beyond the cut is also bright.

This competition is a so-called ‘alternative competition’ prepared in consideration of players who did not qualify for the Arnold Palmer Invitational (total prize money of $12 million) held during the same period.

The prize money and FedEx Cup points are small, but the winner gets a two-year tour card. It is a life-changing opportunity.

Seung-Yeol Noh (31) also shot a 1-under par 71, tied for 38th and starting off is not bad.

Korean Michael Kim (USA) took the lead with Chase Shepart (USA) by sweeping 7 birdies without a bogey.
