"I feel happy while playing golf these days."
On the 23rd (Korea time), a video press conference was held ahead of the opening of the PGA Tour 'Farmers Insurance Open' (total prize money of $9 million).
Lee Kyung-hoon made his PGA Tour debut in 2018, and won the AT&T Byron Nelson for two consecutive seasons in 2021 and 2022.
In the 2023 season last year, however, the team failed to produce tangible results. "I had a bad putt last year," Lee said. "With inconsistent shots, sometimes my shots don't fit well, and sometimes my shots don't fit well and sometimes my shots don't fit well. In that sense, I think things didn't work out well," Lee said.
He added, "To do well again, I think it would be good if the iron and putt fit well at the same time."
"Last season was a disappointing year. I was disappointed in my assets as I failed to make seven to eight cuts in the second half of the game," he said. "On the contrary, it was a time when I could spend the winter more concentrated. This year was a year when I was determined to do better because I was desperate."
"Ahn Byung-hoon is a world class player. Even if he went down to the second part of the tour, he is fully capable of winning the title. I am also a good motivation in this regard," said Lee Kyung-hoon, who said his friend Ahn Byung-hoon (32) of CJ.
"I lost confidence in the late last year due to poor performance, and I played because I was in a hurry," he said. "I am trying to focus on whether golf can be played happily on the course rather than the desire to do well. I feel happy playing golf these days." "My most important goal is to be able to recover to the golf I am good at and let go of my mindset to achieve something," he said.
Meanwhile, Lee Kyung-hoon is focusing on adapting to the course of the tournament ahead of his four-day "Farmers Insurance Open" in Torrey Pines, San Diego, California, USA, from the 25th (Korea time). 메이저 토토사이트
