Seong-jae Lim and Si-woo Kim teamed up with national amateur players Woo-young Cho and Yu-bin Jang in the men's golf team event that ended at West Lake International GC (par 72, 7,280 yards) in Hangzhou, China on the 1st and jointly scored 76 under par 788.

 

They beat second-place Thailand by an overwhelming margin of more than 20 strokes, winning the gold medal in the Asian Games golf team event 13 years after the 2010 Guangzhou Games.

 

In the individual competition, Seongjae Lim took second place with 26 under par and 262 strokes, adding a silver medal.

 

The individual gold medal was won by Daichi Go (Hong Kong), who recorded 261 strokes, 27 under par.

 

Hong Jianyao (Taiwan) won the bronze medal with 24 under par 264 strokes, Kim Si-woo took sole 4th place with 23 under par 265 strokes, and Jang Yu-bin took sole 5th place with 22 under par 266 strokes.

 

Woo-young Jo finished the tournament in a tie for 6th place with 17 under par 271 strokes.

 

Seongjae Lim and Siwoo Kim received military service benefits by winning gold medals in the team event on this day.

 

The military service issue, which was the biggest variable in PGA Tour activities, has been completely resolved.

 

Recently, the military service period for general soldiers has become shorter than before, at 1 year and 6 months, but a gap of 1 year and 6 months is a huge burden for a golf player, so this gold medal is an achievement more precious than anything else to Seong-jae Lim and Siwoo Kim.

 

Seongjae Lim is ranked 27th in the men's golf world rankings and has two wins on the tour.

 

In the 2022-2023 season, he earned a total of $6,487,421 (about 8.8 billion won) in prize money, ranking 20th in prize money, and became the first Korean player to participate in the Tour Championship.

 

The final game of the season, for five consecutive years.

 

Kim Si-woo, ranked 40th in the world, won 4 times on the PGA Tour.

 

He won the Players Championship, called the 'Fifth Major' in 2017, and won the gold medal in this competition, which was his last chance to be exempted from military service.

 

Amateurs Jo Woo-young and Jang Yu-bin, who have already won one game each on the professional stage, postponed turning professional in order to participate in the Asian Games and came to this tournament.

 

As a result, they will work together to win a gold medal in the team event and begin their full-fledged career on the professional stage.

 

The Korean women's national team, consisting of three amateur high school students including Hyunjo Yoo, Minsol Kim, and Jiyu Lim, won the silver medal with a final total of 29 under par 547 strokes, following first place Thailand's 34 under par 542 strokes.

 

In the individual event, Yoo Hyeon-jo added a bronze medal with a final total of 16 under par and 272 strokes.
