Hwang Yu-min almost got a penalty for dropping the distance meter

Hwang Yoo-min, who was almost penalized for dropping the distance meter, sighed with relief.

Hwang Yoo-min made three birdies without a bogey in the third round of the Doosan E&C We've Championship (total prize money of 1.2 billion won and 216 million won in prize money) at Teddy Valley Golf & Resort (par 72/6685 yards) in Seogwipo, Jeju Island on the 6th.

Hwang, who continued no-bogey play throughout the first and third rounds of the championship, recorded 13-under 203 overall, maintaining his lead. The gap between Park Hye-joon, Kang Ji-sun and Moon Jung-min, who tied for second, became two pars.

Looking at the scoreboard alone, it seemed like a peaceful round of no-bogey play, but it was a round with many twists and turns for Hwang Yoo-min. On the fourth hole, the tee shot was skewed to the right, but he even connected a birdie with the luck of hitting the tree and entering the fairway. On the sixth hole, the tee shot fell into the water, but he made a dramatic par save and continued a no-bogey march.

The biggest crisis was Hole 18. Hwang, who was keeping his unstable lead by one stroke, sent his tee shot to the fairway and used a range finisher to prepare for his second shot. The distance finisher that he was about to hand to his caddie fell to the ground and was located very close to the ball. If the ball moved, he would be given a penalty shot. If he were to be penalized, he could endanger both the lead position and the no-bogey march.

Fortunately, no penalty was given as evidenced by the testimony and video review by a referee that the ball had not moved. After sighing with relief, Hwang added his second shot near the pin to create a birdie chance, and finished the 18th hole with a birdie, widening the gap with the runner-up group to two pars. No bogey continued.

"I've dropped it before, but I've never touched a ball like this before," Hwang said of the situation when he dropped the distance meter. "I was very nervous, and I hoped I wouldn't get a penalty. However, I thought it was my mistake, and I was waiting with the thought of accepting it."

"In the third round, I had many disappointments in shots and putts, compared to the first and second rounds. I was lucky not to get a penalty shot at the 18th hole, and I made a save when I could have a bogey. I think I finished the game well," Hwang said.

Hwang Yoo-min, who overcame the crisis, tries to win the final round. It is an advantageous position as there is a two-stroke lead, but we cannot let our guard down.

Hwang Yoo-min said, "If I had a good shot today, I tried to play aggressively to run away as much as possible, but I couldn't because my shot was shaking. I want to practice missing shots tomorrow and do the best round by checking my putts more."

Finally, Hwang Yoo-min said, "When I try to hit it defensively, it tends to not work out. If I see my condition tomorrow and I fit well, I will continue to play aggressively. If not, I will not miss out as much as I can when the chance comes like today."
