It was a somewhat sluggish start.

On December 11 (local time), Seungyul Noh carded a 1-under-par 69 to tie for 34th place in the first round of the PGA Tour Qualifying (Q) School Final, held at the Dye’s Valley Course (par 70, 6,850 yards) at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, USA.

Noh recorded three birdies and two bogeys. He had a shaky start with a bogey on the 10th hole (par 4), but made a comeback with birdies on the 15th, 1st, and 5th holes. However, he lost momentum after dropping a shot on the 6th hole (par 4).

Ok Taehun and Bae Yongjun, who play on the Korea Professional Golf Association (KPGA) Tour, also struggled. Both shot a 2-over-par 72, falling to a tie for 110th place. Korean-American Chan Kim surged to the lead with a 6-under-par 64 on the Dye’s Valley Course.

This tournament runs through December 14 at both the Dye’s Valley Course and Sawgrass Country Club (par 70, 7,054 yards). A total of 174 players are competing, and those who finish in the top five will earn eligibility to play on the PGA Tour for the 2026 season. Including ties, those who finish within the top 40 will receive Korn Ferry (second division) Tour status.
