[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ‘Associate member’ Jeon Jun-ha (22) won the Winter Tour.

On the 5th, at Gunsan Golf Course in Jeonbuk (par 71, 7,143 yards), during the final 2nd round of the KPGA Winter Tour 2nd event (total prize money 40 million KRW), he shot 4 under par to tie with Kang Yoon-seok (35, Husem) at 9 under 133 strokes, then made a ‘10m winning birdie’ on the first hole of the playoff at the 10th hole (par 4). He received 8 million KRW as prize money for his first professional win. Jeon Jun-ha joined KPGA as an associate member in 2016 and has been active on the Frontier (3rd division) Tour.

After being discharged in October 2019, he played on the Srixon (2nd division) Tour last year. “I didn’t expect to win, so I’m happy to have won like this,” said Jeon Jun-ha, adding, “It still doesn’t feel real. I missed several chances to reach the top before, but this time I’m happy to have achieved the victory.” His goal this year is to accumulate points on the Srixon Tour and join the regular tour next year. The 3rd event of the Winter Tour will be held at the same venue on the 18th.
