Golf rising star Kim Joo-hyung (22) reportedly broke the locker room door after losing in overtime.
Kim Joo-hyung was defeated after extra time with Ahn Byung-hoon at the DP World Tour and Korea Professional Golf Association (KPGA) Tour Genesis Championship held at Jack Nicklaus Korea Golf Club in Songdo, Incheon on the 27th.
He had a one-par lead through Hole 17, but allowed a tying shot with An Byeong-hun’s birdie at Hole 18, and even after sending the ball well to the fairway in the playoff, he garnered the ball on the green at four par to fail to catch par. In the end, he lost the title to An who had an extra-time birdie.

However, Kim was dissatisfied with his last play on the day, and it seems that he couldn’t hold back his anger. Kim’s birdie putting on the 18th hole of the fourth round, which allowed him to finish the game, slightly touched the hole, and his tee shot fell into a much better position in the playoff, but he lost the game as he fell into a turmoil from the second shot. Consequently, it seems that Kim, who has strong desire to win, had his anger resolved in the locker room.
However, it is pointed out that the 22-year-old star, who won three games on the PGA Tour and led the Genesis Championship, went too far.
The Korea Professional Golf Association (KPGA) reportedly plans to exercise the right to indemnify Kim Joo-hyung after paying for repairing damaged doors to Jack Nicklaus Korea Golf Club. The KPGA may refer Kim Joo-hyung, who is also a KPGA member, to the reward and punishment committee.
