Bang Shin-sil (20) overcame the first two hits on the first day of the Chevron Championship and turned the atmosphere to an upward trend.
Bang Shin-sil started tied for 68th with four birdies, three bogeys and one triple bogey in the first round of the Chevron Championship (total prize money of $7.9 million), the first major tournament of the LPGA Tour season, at The Club at Carlton Woods (par 72, 6889 yards) in Woodlands, Texas on the 19th.
Bang Shin-sil (currently 38th), who was the only KLPGA Tour player to participate in the world's top 40 rankings, played hard because his tee shot was shaking only five times on the fairway (35.7% fairway seating rate).
Bang Shin-sil, who started with a bogey on the 1st hole (par 4), made a triple bogey after receiving two shots on the 5th hole (par 4). Pressing a large divot mark with a putter in front of the ball that fell on the green boundary line was a source of trouble, and after calling a member of the match to confirm that the divot was outside the green due to an objection from his companion, he was judged to be outside the green and was fined two penalties for improving the lie. If the divot was inside the green, it would not have been a problem, but a regrettable mistake came out when the green boundary was not clear.
Since then, Bang has recovered from the shock by making birdies at three consecutive holes, lost two pars again through bogeys at Nos. 9 and 10 before adding birdies at No. 17 (par 3) to change the mood. He recorded 2-over 38 in the first half, and performed well with even-par 36 in the second.
Bang Shin-sil is currently one stroke short of the cut line, which is expected to be one over par.
"The short games were mostly good, but the tee shots often failed to keep the fairway," said an official at the agency Wow Management Group, which is working with B.C. in the face of headwinds, the low-ballistic shots lacked accuracy. "We practiced to make up for the shortcomings after the game, and we will play in the afternoon when the wind blows more tomorrow, so we will be more mindful of the game." Regarding the triple bogey situation, he said, "It would have been nice to call a member of the game to check before repairing the green, but I think I experienced how to deal with it when I encounter such a situation in the future."
