Kim Seong-hyun said, “When I woke up in the morning, I wasn’t in a good condition. My body was heavy and I felt that way, but I was satisfied because I was able to finish the rest of the game well and finish the second round well.”
Regarding what went well for the past two days, “The shot condition wasn’t that good, but I think I hit a lot in a safe place. So there was no big crisis, and when there was a crisis like falling into a bunker a lot, I made saves without mistakes for the past two days. I think that’s why that’s the main thing, and thanks to that, I think I finished the two days well without any major mistakes.”
He even thanked senior Choi Gyeong-ju (53), who was with him during the practice round. Kim Seong-hyun said, “I always get a lot of advice from professional Choi Kyung-ju, but this week, while we were doing a 9-hole practice round together, he gave me a lot of advice on ‘how to play this course, especially how to attack important holes’. He gave me this kind of advice. It helped me a lot to play yesterday and today.”
He said, “There are things I got used to while playing the series last fall, but I have a month break ahead of the Sony Open, and as we welcome the new year, this week seems to be starting a new rookie season again. So, I don’t feel that comfortable, Still, I try to think more comfortably. There are still many games left in the season, so if I just do my best in each game, there will be good results.”
