[Asia Economy Reporter Noo Rae] ○…The Korea Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) Tour BC Card·Hankyung Ladies Cup (total prize money 700 million won) will proceed as scheduled.

On the 24th, KLPGA announced, "One caddie at Pocheon Hills Golf Course who had close contact with a confirmed COVID-19 case tested negative in the diagnostic test," adding, "The tournament will proceed normally." It was reported that one general spectator who tested positive for COVID-19 the previous day had visited Pocheon Hills Golf Course, the tournament venue. KLPGA and the tournament organizing committee conducted emergency disinfection according to the integrated COVID-19 response manual.

The official practice scheduled for that day was canceled as a precaution. Fortunately, the contact person tested negative, allowing the tournament to take place. The BC Card·Hankyung Ladies Cup will be held for four days starting from the 25th at Pocheon Hills Golf Course. Due to concerns about the spread of COVID-19, the event will be held without spectators, as in previous tournaments. Last year, Cho Jeong-min (26, MY Moonyoung) staged a thrilling comeback victory by shooting 5 under par on the final day, overturning a 7-stroke deficit.
