However, Jung Chan-min revealed that winning this tournament was not because of the driver. He said, “I think the biggest change is the putter. Last season, I had a hard time with the putter, but using a TaylorMade putter was a godsend.” It got better,” he confessed.
He worked hard on his short game as well as his putting. Jeong Chan-min explained, “Because he is a long hitter, he tried to supplement his shots within 100m, and he paid a lot of attention to the approach around the green. Two-thirds of the day, he practiced short games.”
We now have enough Korean Tour seeds. Now Korean Monster is aiming for an overseas tour. He said, “I think I will participate in the Korn Ferry Tour in September and October.
He continued, “I’m really happy with my 5-year seed. I don’t have to worry about seed, so I think I’ll feel comfortable. Last year, I went along with the Korn Ferry Tour, but I think I’ll be comfortable this year.”
