Jinyoung Ko entered the final round with a 4 stroke lead.
Even in inclement weather with rain, the play continued without shaking.
In particular, the iron shot, which is a long-term skill, was brilliant.
He caught six birdies with an iron shot with an awl dropping near the flagpole, while blocking one bogey.
Final 18 under par.
We won the ‘Wire to Wire’ championship, which never gave up the lead for the entire four days of the competition.
