Ko Gun-taek said, “I made several mistakes in the beginning, but I kept thinking about it. As a result, I couldn’t play the game I wanted. I felt that I had to focus only on my game. It was a good experience.”

My goal this year is to win my first championship. To this end, I did battery training in Las Vegas, USA for a month last February. Ko Gun-taek explained, “I focused on improving the accuracy of my shot. I insisted on the draw pitch, but this year I tried to use the fade pitch as well. I also focused on image training, such as mental strengthening training.”
