[Cheonan=Kang Byeong-koo] The 68th Kolon Korea Open Golf Championship, Korea's most prestigious national golf championship, is underway at Woojeong Hills Country Club in Cheonan, where Yeongsu KIM made a composed start in his pursuit of the coveted national title.

The Korea Open represents far more than a tournament victory. As one of the oldest and most respected championships in Korean golf, it carries a rich history and tradition that has inspired generations of players. Each year, the nation's top golfers gather to compete for one of the most prestigious trophies in Korean golf.

Woojeong Hills Country Club remains one of the most demanding championship venues in the country. Its narrow fairways, strategic layout, and challenging greens require precision, patience, and exceptional course management throughout the week.

During the opening round, KIM displayed a steady rhythm and composed swing off the tee. As he followed the flight of the ball, his focused gaze reflected determination and confidence. Despite the pressure of competing on one of Korea's biggest stages, he maintained his concentration and continued to build momentum.

The road to victory is built one shot at a time. As he works his way through the challenges of Woojeong Hills Country Club, Yeongsu KIM remains focused on writing his own chapter in the history of the Korea Open and pursuing the prestigious national title.
