(Asiad) Teen golfer seeks further growth after coming up short of medal

Kasugai, Japan – Teenage golfer Yang Yun-seo competed in the women's golf tournament at the Asian Games and finished fourth, one stroke behind the bronze medal spot. Representing South Korea among three amateur players, Yang's best score of seven-under 273 helped her team achieve a team total of seven-under, just three behind China's Taipei.

Yang expressed satisfaction with her participation and acknowledged that competing against international players will benefit her career. She plans to turn professional soon and aims to secure a place on the Korea LPGA Tour for next season. Despite struggling in the final two rounds, putting her team two back by the time she birdied the 16th hole, Yang believes the early international exposure will be valuable for her future.

She expressed a desire to compete at the Olympics someday and emphasized her goal of becoming a consistent golfer with a long-lasting career.
