[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…The resilience of veteran Alex Cejka (Germany).

On the 27th (Korean time), he claimed a come-from-behind victory at the Parker Open, a US mini-tour event (total prize money $42,000) held at Emerald Canyon Golf Club (par 72) in Parker, Arizona. He shot 4-under par, including a hole-in-one on the 14th hole (par 3) of the final third round, leveling the score and then winning in a playoff. This was his second mini-tour win following the Outlaw Tour Arrowhead Classic on the 16th, with a winner's prize of $7,000.

Cejka is a player who has won 4 times on the European Tour and once at the 2015 PGA Tour Puerto Rico Open. He has earned 4.7 million euros in Europe and $12.8 million on the PGA Tour. He is not a player who typically competes on mini-tours. He will turn 50 this December. Steve Benton, who has run this tournament for 24 years, said, "I was surprised to see a player like Cejka participate," adding, "He said he plans to come back next year to defend his title."
