He shared 17th place with an outstanding final score of 7-under-par with 281 strokes, and successfully made it to the top 20 list. Although he had many problems like jet lag through the long range trip in the US, he was able to make phenomenal shots, entertaining the golf fans in Korea.
Amid fierce competition, strong bond among the players could be witnessed on the golf course. Ahn Byeong-hun, who has played on the PGA Tour for 5 years , gave a course tour to Kim Joo-hyung who is the rookie playing at the PGA level for the first time in his career. Regardless of whether it was coincidental or inevitable, the two golfers played in the same group from round 1 through round 3. They almost looked like brothers.
