[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] "I felt my wife was amazing."

‘Dad golfers’ Park Sang-hyun (37, Dong-A Pharmaceutical) and Moon Kyung-jun (38, Huchem) share the same sentiment. It is a situation created by the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19). The Korean Professional Golfers' Association (KPGA) Korean Tour has not yet opened the 2020 season due to the spread of COVID-19. They recently shared their current status while participating in the 'KPGA 2-on-2 Skins Game' held under the title 'Raising Money for COVID-19 Relief' at Plaza Golf in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province on the 1st.

Park Sang-hyun, who has two sons, said, "I have never stayed at home this long in my life," adding, "When I open my eyes in the morning, cleaning hair off the floor has become part of my daily routine." He continued, "I finally realized how hard my wife’s work is," and confessed, "I didn’t know golf was this easy." Moon Kyung-jun, who is raising three sons, also said, "At first, I worked hard on washing dishes and cleaning," then laughed, "Now I’m overloaded, and household chores have gone OB (out of bounds)."

Park Sang-hyun is a veteran who has won eight times on the Korean Tour. Getting emotional, Park said, "Since there are no tournaments, I think I understand how people who lost their jobs feel," and added, "It’s like driving on the highway for over 20 years and suddenly encountering a rest stop," concluding, "Now it’s time to refuel and run again." Moon Kyung-jun, who won the Genesis Award last year, said, "I heard many players are using overdraft accounts," and encouraged, "It’s tough, but this is the time to endure."

2018 Rookie of the Year Ham Jeong-woo (26, Hana Financial Group) said, "I corrected my swing and prepared a lot during the break," adding, "It’s a difficult time, but I think it’s another opportunity." Last year’s money leader Lee Soo-min (27, Srixon) said, "If things were normal, I should have played in 3 to 4 tournaments," and expressed relief, "I’m glad the tournaments are about to start." The Korean Tour will begin the season on July 2 at the Woosung Comprehensive Construction Aramir CC Busan Gyeongnam Open at Aramir Golf Course in Changwon, Gyeongnam.
