▲ Choi Kyung-ju, who blows iron shots in his debut


Choi Gyeong-ju, 50, was only on the first day of his debut before the American Professional Golf (PGA) Senior Tour debut.

On the 1st (Korean time), Choi Keun-ju hit 72 pars in the first round of the PGA Champions Tour Ally Challenge held at the Warwick Hills Country Club (par 721) in Grand Blanc, Michigan, USA.

Choi Kyung-ju, who swapped 3 buddies and 3 views, was in the 54th place, co-lead Tommy Armor III and six shots behind Billy Andrade (above the United States).

With an average flying distance of 296.5 yards, he hit a longest 324 yards, but he couldn't cut his shots because he didn't follow the putt to the green hit rate of only 66.7%.

Mike Weir (Canada), who made his debut at the same time, played a two-under-par 70.

Ernie Els (South Africa), who debuted on the senior tour in March, ahead of Choi Kyung-ju, made a hole-in-one where a ball tee shot with a 6th iron from hole 8 (par 3,192 yards) entered the hole.

Ells recorded 69 shots under three.
