Choi Ga-bin (21? Samchully), who has yet to win on the professional stage, showed her prospects for her first win by swinging a hard hit on the first day of the domestic opening match of the 2024 Korea Ladies Professional Golf (KLPGA).

Gabin Choi recorded 7 under par and 65 strokes, making 7 birdies and no bogeys in the first round of the 2024 KLPGA domestic opening game Doosan We've Championship held at Teddy Valley Golf & Resort (par 72) in Seogwipo, Jeju on the 4th.

As of 2 p.m., Ga-bin Choi is the sole leader, beating out prominent players such as Ji-ae Shin (36? Three Bonds), Ye-won Lee (21), and Shin-sil Bang (20? KB Financial Group). He is two strokes behind Noh Seung-hee (23? Yojin Construction), who is in second place with 5 under par.

Choi Ga-bin, who joined the KLPGA in 2021, has participated in 49 competitions so far, but has not reached the top even once. His best result is a tie for 4th place at the KG Ladies Open in September last year.

This year, Gabin Choi previously participated in the KLPGA tournament held in Singapore and Thailand, but was far from winning.

However, on this day, Choi Ga-bin boasted an elaborate shot. Choi Ga-bin, who started the game at the 1st hole, caught a birdie at the 4th hole (par 5) and then reduced one stroke more at the 8th hole (par 5).

Gabin Choi increased her momentum by recording consecutive birdies in the 10th and 11th holes (par 4). He then made birdies in the 13th hole (par 5) and the 15th hole (par 5), and took the lead by reducing one stroke in the 18th hole (par 4). Gabin Choi, who finished the game, said, “I didn’t feel good during practice, but I regained my sense of shooting while playing. He said, “Overall, my shots and putts were stable,” and “It is unfortunate that I missed two birdie chances, but I am satisfied with finishing the game with a no-bogey play.” He continued, “Last year, my performance was not good, but I just lacked the experience to play the game,” and added, “I did a lot of putting training ahead of this season. “He did a lot of mental training to believe in himself,” he added. Choi Ga-bin said, “I trained hard ahead of this year, so I will believe in my play and do my best. “My goal is to win my first championship,” he said, expressing his determination. 스포츠토토맨
