A 15m wide narrow fairway and a 10cm long rough that has not been cut for three months and covers up to the ankles.
On the most difficult major course set in the history of the tournament, the players shook their heads.
[Lee Min-young (6 over par)/ 2 wins in Korea, 6 wins in Japan tour: The course setting is very difficult, so I am a little scared.]
Eun-hee Ji, the 'eldest sister' who has won 6 victories on the US LPGA tour, has gone through the rough 14 times in the rain. He lost six shots on the first day.
When the ball fell into the deep rough, where it was difficult to find the ball, the players were just trying to get it out.
Hee-Jeong Lim, who won 5 wins on the KLPGA Tour, fell to a 6-over par, pouring out two bogeys and two doubles without a single birdie.
Of the 120 players, only 7 hit the under par.
Players who avoided the rough and kept the fairway well decorated the top row of the leaderboards.
Seo-Yeon Yoo took the lead alone with a 3-under par, and Min-Ji Park, who leads multiple victories and prize money with three wins in the season, hit a 2-under par with the climax of putting feeling and tied for second place with veteran Kim Hae-Rim in the lead and one stroke.
Hyerim Cho pulled out a picturesque shot eagle on the 2nd hole and cheered.
