2011.9.30 Weekend Picks: KPGA

* Shinhan Donghae Open
* Jack Nicklaus Golf Club, Incheon
* Thursday to Sunday

This is the first time that the KPGA’s major tournament is being hosted at the Jack Nicklaus Golf Club, home to the PGA Champions Tour.

A total of 132 golfers teed off yesterday hoping to claim the winner’s prize of 200 million won ($170,000).

World No.14 Choi Kyung-ju (K.J. Choi) and No. 22 Kim Kyung-tae are participating, as is 11-time European Tour winner Paul Casey of England. Choi won the tournament in 2007 and 2008.

Hong Soon-sang is also considered a top contender. He is the only multiple KPGA Tour winner this season and currently tops the association’s prize money list.
