Bae Sang-moon finished tied for 67th place at the Corales Puntacana Resort & Club Championship.

[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] Bae Sang-moon (35, Kiwoom Securities) finished in the lower ranks.

On the 29th (Korean time), at the Corales Golf Club in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic (par 72, 7,670 yards), Bae struggled with a 2-over-par on the final day of the PGA Tour Corales Punta Cana Resort & Club Championship (total prize money $3 million), slipping to a tie for 67th place (5-over-par 293). This tournament serves as a 'niche market' since world stars participated in the 'special match' World Golf Championships (WGC) Series Dell Technologies Match Play (total prize money $10.5 million) during the same period.

Bae started tied for 61st, making 3 birdies and 5 bogeys. After consecutive birdies on holes 4 and 5 and a birdie on hole 7 (par 5), he was progressing well but then gave up 5 bogeys. His fairway hit rate (57.14%) and greens in regulation (55.56%) dropped to around 50%, showing unstable shots. He averaged 1.80 putts per hole. Although he advanced to the final round for the first time in six months since finishing tied for 28th in this tournament last September, he did not achieve the expected results.

Joel Dahmen (USA) recorded 2-under-par to claim victory by one stroke (12-under-par 276). He succeeded on his 111th attempt in 110 tries, earning $540,000 (about 610 million KRW) in prize money. His best results before were tied for 2nd at the 2018 John Deere Classic and the 2019 Wells Fargo Championship. He overcame testicular cancer in 2011 and had a dispute over a drop location with Kang Sung-hoon (34) at the 2018 Quicken Loans National. Rafael Campos (Puerto Rico) and Sam Ryder (USA) tied for 2nd place (11-under-par 277).
