[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…World No. 1 Ko Jin-young (25) and No. 3 Park Sung-hyun (27) ended without a winner.


On the 24th, at the Sky72 Golf Club Ocean Course (par 72) in Yeongjongdo, Incheon, the 'Hyundai Card Super Match Ko Jin-young vs Park Sung-hyun (total prize money 100 million won)' ended in a draw, with each player earning 50 million won. This is the Hyundai Card Super Match series held for the first time in 9 years since dance sports in 2011. The format was a 'skins game,' where the player with the lower score on each hole takes the prize money for that hole. To prevent the spread of COVID-19, the event was held without spectators.



They engaged in a tense battle of pride. Park Sung-hyun took the first hole (par 4) to seize the initiative, but Ko Jin-young won the 2nd and 3rd holes to turn the tide. Trailing behind, Park Sung-hyun captured the 2,600,000 won skin accumulated on the 17th hole (par 3) to take the lead again. Ko Jin-young added 10 million won with a birdie on the final 18th hole (par 4), dramatically forcing a draw. The prize money was donated to charities designated by the players after the match ended.
