[Golf Topic] Moon Kyung-jun "23rd Place at BMW Indoor Invitational"

[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…'Korean Tour Player of the Year' Moon Kyung-jun (38, photo) ranked 23rd in the Screen Golf BMW Indoor Invitational.

According to the results of the third tournament announced by the European Tour on the 24th (Korean time), Moon Kyung-jun scored 8 over par 81 with 1 birdie, 5 bogeys, and 2 double bogeys. He placed 23rd out of 31 participants. He said, "It was a unique style of competition," and added, "Although the season was suspended due to the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), I am training hard." This tournament was held at the Munich Eichenried Golf Course in Germany.

Wil Besseling (Netherlands) won the championship with 4 under par 69. The prize money of 10,000 euros (about 13 million KRW) will be donated as a COVID-19 relief fund under the winner's name. The BMW Indoor Invitational will continue through five tournaments. Moon Kyung-jun is a veteran who has been active on the Korean Professional Golf Association (KPGA) Korean Tour since 2007. He secured his only victory at the 2015 Maekyung Open. Last year, without any wins, he showed resilience by entering the 'Top 10' seven times and claimed the Player of the Year award.

He participated in all 15 previous tournaments and advanced to the final round each time, boasting the best average score of 70.18, demonstrating consistency. By winning the Player of the Year award, he secured a direct ticket to the European Tour and is now competing on a bigger stage. This year, before the European Tour was suspended due to COVID-19, he competed twice. At the Oman Open in March, he scored 3 over par over two days and was cut, but at the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters, he finished tied for 66th place (even par 284).
