Bae focused on Presidents Cup, not military service

INCHEON, South Korea – Sangmoon Bae has one week remaining before a dramatic career change from professional golfer to a member of the South Korean military and that’s what he wants to focus on.

Bae drew the largest crowd on Tuesday when he spoke with the media, which is not surprising considering he is the only South Korean playing this week’s Presidents Cup.

Bae declined to answer any questions regarding the 21-months of mandatory military service in the South Korean armed forces that awaits him after the matches, instead focusing on how special it will be to play in such a prestigious event in his home country.
