On the 11th, at Bears Best Golf Club in Cheongna, Incheon (par 71, 6,938 yards), during the third day of the KPGA Korean Tour Shinhan Donghae Open (total prize money 1.4 billion KRW), he posted a 4-under-par round to finally take the top spot on the leaderboard at 14-under-par 199. ‘KPGA Championship champ’ Seo Yo-seop (25, DB Insurance) settled in second place (13-under-par 200), and Ham Jung-woo (27, Hana Financial Group) is eyeing a late opportunity from third place (9-under-par 204).
Cho Min-kyu first debuted on the Japan Golf Tour Organization (JGTO), where he earned two career wins at the 2011 Kansai Open and the 2016 Fujisankei Classic. Interestingly, he has yet to win on the domestic stage. He has finished runner-up three times, including the 2011 and last August’s GS Caltex Maekyung Open, and the 2017 Genesis Championship. In this tournament, his back-to-back 5-under-par spurts in the first and second rounds stood out, and on this day, he combined six birdies with two bogeys.
