[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…The 3rd round of the 2021 season qualifying tournaments for the Korean Professional Golf Association (KPGA) Korean Tour and the Korean Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) Tour has been canceled.

The Korean Tour announced on the 19th that "the third day of the final qualifying tournament (QT) scheduled to be held at Gunsan Golf Course in Jeonbuk was canceled due to bad weather." The round started at 8 a.m. but was suspended at 9:02 p.m. due to heavy rain. As the heavy rain continued accompanied by lightning, the tournament committee decided to cancel the event at noon. The scores of players who had completed a few holes were all nullified. If the final round on the 20th finishes normally, the rankings will be determined based on 54 holes.

The KLPGA Tour also canceled the 3rd round of the final qualifying ranking tournament scheduled to be held at Muan Golf Course in Jeonnam due to rain and lightning. From the 10th, the qualifying preliminaries were held over two days with 36 holes of stroke play, divided into three groups: A, B, and C, playing 18 holes each day. Starting from the 17th, groups A and B advanced to the finals up to 33rd place, and group C up to 34th place, competing in the ranking tournament. Due to the bad weather, this tournament was shortened to 54 holes instead of 72 holes.
