Moon Maintains Korean Monopoly at Maekyung Open
SEOUL — Moon Kyongjun survived a final hole meltdown to register his maiden tournament victory at the Maekyung Open on Sunday, extending South Korea's decade-long grip on the event.
The 32-year-old nearly squandered the four-shot lead he held over playing partner Gareth Paddison when he triple-bogeyed the par-four last hole but his final round of 73 proved enough for a two-shot victory over a quartet of players.
"Unbelievable," Moon said after his four-under-par 284 total at the OneAsia event earned him $180,995.
"I have waited a long time for this. I really don't know what happened at the last. My worst hole all week but thankfully I had a good lead.
