Title Korean Rookie Seizes Lead at Taal Ji Sung Cheon's Impressive Debut in Philippine Golf Tour Qualifying School
Ji Sung Cheon, a 19-year-old from South Korea, kicked off his professional golf career with a stunning performance at Splendido Taal Golf Club in Batangas on Tuesday. The rookie golfer seized the clubhouse lead with an impressive round of 69, showcasing his exceptional consistency and ball-striking abilities.
As one of the first groups to tee off, Cheon navigated the challenging course with ease before the afternoon heat and wind intensified. He carded birdies on holes 1, 6, 7, 12, and 13, demonstrating his confidence and poise on the greens. Although a minor stumble occurred due to firm greens, leading to three-putt miscues on Nos. 14 and 15, Cheon recovered with pars to close out his round, securing a two-shot lead over compatriot Jaehyun Jung, who finished with a 71.
When asked about his impressive score, Cheon attributed it to his patient mindset and ability to play safe with two-putts from long range. His strong start has set the tone for the rest of the tournament, as he looks to capitalize on his momentum and claim one of the coveted spots in this year's ICTSI-sponsored premier circuit.
Fellow Korean golfers Jaehyun Jung and Chon Koo Kang also made impressive starts, with Jung moving into provisional solo second place and Kang matching par 72. Local players Belem Alarcon and Rey Pagunsan are not far behind, having carded rounds of 73 to position themselves in contention.
Alarcon's round featured a roller-coaster finish, while Pagunsan's display was marked by four birdies against five bogeys. As the tournament heats up, it will be intriguing to see how Cheon and his competitors fare on the challenging course ahead. With determination and chutzpah, these golfers are sure to put on a thrilling show in the weeks to come.
