This tournament, in which 38 players are competing, has a strong character of a king-of-the-king match between champions from the previous year. The best players showed amazing performances. Although the history is 71 years old, the average lowest stroke of the tournament is 67.25 strokes recorded in the 8th round by Matt Jones (Australia), who participated only twice until 2015 and last year.
Since Jones did not play this year, there is a possibility that Seong-jae Lim will break the record for the lowest average hit, depending on the number of strokes recorded on the last day.
JTBC Golf and JTBC Golf & Sports will broadcast live until the last round.
