A good year keeps getting better for these guys. Sungjae Im currently with a big early lead on the PGA TOUR, Byeonghun in 2nd place.  Both Koreans on the first page of the leaderboard are the current men's Olympic team as things stand now, but Siwoo Kim is lurking 4 shots behind An and 2 behind Im.Kevin |

An interesting event was on GC last night, the first round of the Shinhan Donghae Open, the first tournament ever tri-sponsored by the Japan, Korea and Asian tours. They're playing at Bear's Best in Incheon, a frequent venue for the Korean Women's Open. It has the usual view for golf courses in this area...artificial, sparsely lined with young trees...and a forest of concrete as a backdrop (and they are not done, I saw cranes in the distance).
The real Dr. Noh made his return to competitive golf following six weeks of hard training immediately after his 2-year military hitch ended. He shot 75 (+4), but managed to hit the green at the par-4 11th and two-putted for a birdie. The hole is listed at 390 yards, but I assume it was moved up for Round One...the broadcasters thought he carried his drive 330.

Nice playoff win today by Kevin Na who is getting it done on and off the golf course.  Also, kudos to him for sticking up for Bio Kim ... the PGA Tour should give that guy a second chance somewhere ... he's not worse than that worm Pat Perez who unloaded a torrent of profanities at the 2017 CJ Cup (on Jeju Island of all places).

Tiger got nothing on ol' Kevin. Tiger was accused of lots of things but sex slave master was never one of them.

Turns out Sungjae's caddie for the week was Canadian Albin Choi, a golfer on the Korn Ferry tour.

I wonder how the site will change when the Seoul Bros start posting.

The PGA Tour social media team is ready, willing and able to help make Sungjae a star. I don’t watch Golf Channel much but it’s probably the same over there.
The LPGA is still all about ribbons and sunglasses.

Don't worry Don there will be no stampede, messageboard posters are an endangered species. And nobody's looking for Korean male golf not even during an LPGA quarantine. I even made a Bong Joon Ho reference and Happyfan still couldn't be bothered.

Wasn't planning on watching tube today but Sungjae is hwaitin' hard at a very difficult Arnold Palmer Invitational, just two back and in the thick of it. Danny Lee and Sung Kang lurking as well.

Turns out Sungjae's caddie for the week was Canadian Albin Choi, a golfer on the Korn Ferry tour. Now they're working together full-time. Heartwarming story of how these two came together. Albin Choi is a pro-caliber golfer, a native speaker of both English and Korean, and a few years older than Sungjae--he could not have found a better caddie in the whole world, seems like. I was bullish on Sungjae Im before; I'm really expecting huge things now with this guy at his side. www.golfchannel.com/news/beyond-player-caddie-relationship-sungjae-im-albin-choi-bonded-grief-and-trust |

Sorry to keep beating a dead horse but Sungjae Im is currently contending at the Masters, a prestigious men's golf tournament.
