[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…Kang Sung-hoon (34, CJ Logistics, photo) will participate in the major US Open for the second consecutive year.

On the 8th (Korean time), he secured one of the 16 final round tickets by finishing tied for 9th place (7-under 137) at the regional qualifier held at The Lakes Golf Course in Columbus, Ohio, USA. This marks his fourth appearance at the "National Title of the United States," following 2011, 2016, and 2020. His best individual performance to date was tied for 18th in 2016. Other Korean players who secured entry are Im Sung-jae (23), Kim Si-woo (26), and Lee Kyung-hoon (30, all from CJ Logistics).

Ricky Fowler, Keegan Bradley, and Jason Dufner (all from the USA), as well as Padraig Harrington (Ireland), failed to advance to the final round at the Ohio regional qualifier. Fowler, in particular, missed the US Open stage he had attended for 10 consecutive years from 2011 to last year. This year’s tournament will be held from the 17th for four days at Torrey Pines Golf Course in San Diego, California, USA. The defending champion is "The Hulk" Bryson DeChambeau (USA).
