[Golf Topic] Koda: "I'm the Owner of the 'Best Shot of the Year'~"

[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…World No. 1 Nelly Korda (USA, photo) became the owner of the best shot.

On the 24th (Korean time), the US Golf Channel selected and announced the 'Best 15' shots of the year. Korda's shot came at the June major KPMG Women's PGA Championship. On the final day, at the 5th hole (par 5), with 243 yards remaining, her second shot with a 7-wood landed 50 cm from the hole, leading to a 'tap-in eagle.' It was a perfect shot that laid the foundation for her first major victory. With this tournament win, she rose to No. 1 for the first time in her career.

The 2nd place shot was by Phil Mickelson (USA) at the May major PGA Championship. On the final day, he made a birdie from a bunker shot at the 5th hole (par 3). The 3rd place went to Viktor Hovland (Norway). In the first round of the Tour Championship in September, his second shot over the tree at the 5th hole (par 4) went straight into the hole, creating a rare feat. The 4th place shot was Patrick Reed's (USA) '210-yard eagle shot' at the 17th hole (par 5) on the first day of the Bermuda Championship in October.
