KLPGA prize money 0won Kang Dana ‘lucky’ to win 20 million won diamond with hole-in-one

Kang Dana, who has yet to win a tournament prize on the Korean Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) Tour this year, was lucky enough to win a 20 million won diamond for a hole-in-one.

Kang made a hole-in-one on the sixth hole (par-3) of the second round of the KLPGA Tour’s McCall-Mona Yongpyong Open at Birch Hill Golf Club (par-72) in Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon-do on Sept. 29, when her tee shot went straight into the hole.

The hole-in-one prize was a 1-carat diamond. It’s worth about $20 million in local currency.

“I calculated the headwind from 145 yards and hit a 7-iron. I saw the ball go in,” he said, adding, “I’d like to keep the diamond as a memento, but I’ll have to discuss it with my parents.”

This is the first hole-in-one on the KLPGA Tour for Kang, who has two on the Dream Tour, and her third in an official event.

Kang made her debut on the KLPGA Tour in 2022 but lost her seeding after finishing 95th on the money list, and has been playing primarily on the Dream Tour last year and this year.

Last year, she finished 48th in the seeding and had few opportunities to compete on the KLPGA Tour.

This year, she competed in two KLPGA Tour events, the BC Card-Hankyung Ladies Cup and the E1 Charity Open, but missed the cut and did not earn any prize money.

“I want to be in the top 20 on the Dream Tour and come to the regular tour next year, and I want to do as well as I can in the regular tour events that I can,” Kang said.

After earning his way into the McCall-Mona Yong pyong Open with a hole-in-one, Kang shot a 1-under 71 in the second round, but the pressure of losing two strokes the day before made it difficult to make the cut. 메이저사이트

“It’s good baseball to win from start to finish,” says KT manager Lee Kang-cheol

The KT Wiz of the Korean Baseball Organization (KBO) enjoyed a thrilling victory against the Samsung Lions of Suwon on the 28th, something that happens only a few times a year.

With substitute starter Jo Hyun Joo for KT and Denny Reyes for Samsung, KT was unable to capitalize on Reyes’ pitches and fell behind 0-4 in the sixth inning.

After Samsung activated its bullpen, KT began to chip away at the deficit, but Samsung’s vaunted closer Oh Seung-hwan was able to get the final out in the bottom of the ninth inning to seal the 5-4 victory.

Outfielder Hong Hyun-bin, who entered the game as a pinch-hitter in the eighth inning, came to the plate with runners on first and third in the bottom of the ninth, trailing 3-4, and hit a game-winning double off Oh Seung-hwan.

On the 29th, Lee gave Suwon Samsung Electronics’ hero from the previous game, Hong Hyun-bin, a chance to start in the No. 9 spot in right field.

Hong sat with his teammates in front of the dugout and said, “We don’t have to win long. You just have to win at the end,” he told his teammates.

The phrase, known by baseball fans as “yaoimai” (you don’t have to win long, you just have to win at the end), was uttered by commentator Glasses Hyun during South Korea’s nine-run comeback victory over Japan in the 2015 Premier 12 semifinals.

“In baseball, it’s best to win long (from the beginning) and win at the end,” Lee said with a wry smile.

While a come-from-behind victory in the bottom of the ninth inning can only bring more joy to the fans watching the game, the managers running the game must literally feel their blood run dry.

Lee’s words are ones that probably every manager can relate to.

Reviewing the previous day’s game, the most crucial moment Lee pointed out was the sixth inning offense.

KT was unable to score in the sixth inning, but they managed to force Samsung starter Reyes to throw 30 pitches in one inning, which allowed them to pull their bullpen from the seventh inning.

“I thought, ‘Let’s just throw until the sixth inning and let Reyes go down and give it a shot for the other three innings,'” Lee said.

KT scored two runs off Samsung bullpen Seung-hyun Lee in the seventh and one run off Tae-hoon Kim in the eighth.

“It was important that Kang Baek-ho hit a home run in the eighth inning to bring us within one run. It was a strange game in a way,” Lee said. 바카라사이트

Asia Pacific Casino’s Year of Leap Forward

“All eyes” on the casino sector will likely keep an eye on Thailand to see what progress it can make towards legalising such businesses and creating casino resorts during 2024. Brendan Boothman of consultancy B2 Global said in a comment to GGRAsia.

From the perspective of Asia-Pacific emerging markets, “all eyes will be on Thailand at this point” as to how the country “shapes” after Thailand’s legislature took into account its latest report on the subject as expected, the consultant said.

“There is a clear opportunity to do this properly, but it will all come down to regulation and have an appropriate regulatory environment in place,” Mr Boothman said

He added that Thailand “hopefully embraces and looks at that opportunity for professionals who can build the right base, not limited to the spectrum of [introduced] [casino] operators on the market.”

Daniel Cheng is a former senior executive at Hard Rock and Genting casino brands. He worked with Hard Rock to explore opportunities to work with Hokkaido when it was a Japanese prefecture that was interested in finding casinos and integrated resorts (IRs) during Japan’s liberalization process.

On Thailand, he told GGRAsia that Thailand offers “a ray of hope” to the industry.

“The active activity of the new Game Congressional Committee demonstrates real progress through over six meetings and hearings,” Cheng said

He later added that it was aimed at supporting economic activity across the kingdom, referring to proposals for five location markets put forward in 2022. While “political volatility” within Thailand remains a concern, bipartisan support for the Thai entertainment complex plan suggests a possible slowdown, not a dead end, for the Thai gaming industry

Cheng also noted, “At this rate, legislation in 2025 is a good possibility.”

Joe Pisano, a veteran of casino operations and technology supply in the region, had a cautious view of Thailand.

He told GGRAsia: “In my opinion, legislation will still take years and the bidding process and approval will take years more.

“If we allow time for construction, more than eight years would be a reasonable estimate,” he added of how long it could take to set up a casino sector in Thailand.

Mr. Pisano is the founder and chief executive of Jade Entertainment and Gaming Technologies Inc., a casino equipment and gaming service provider based in the Philippines.

Sega Sammy Online tilt continued after Yokohama’s IR exit

In comments to GGRAsia, a management spokesperson said interest in Japan’s Sega Sammy Holdings “continues” to carve out its overseas online gaming services sector after the “withdrawal of the Yokohama IR project”.

fintech icon and technology element on mobile phone 3d rendering represent Blockchain and Fintech Investment Financial Internet Technology Concept.

In 2021, the group said it was willing to spend about 120 billion yen (currently $845.3 million) on the cost of an integrated resort (IR) with Japan’s Yokohama Casino as part of a proposed consortium that includes Genting Singapore Ltd. In the fall of 2021, Yokohama was officially out of the race to host IR.

In November last year, Sega Sammy Holdings said in a statement it would pay about $107.6 million to acquire GAN Ltd, which provides company-to-business software services in the U.S., and a company that provides company-to-consumer online gaming services in Europe and South America. The transaction is expected to be completed by the third quarter of the fiscal year ending in March 2025.

A spokesperson for Sega Sammy Holdings told GGRAsia: “Sega Sammy continues to explore business opportunities in its overseas online gaming business after withdrawing its Yokohama IR project.”

The official added: “Especially in terms of compliance, we have our eyes on the huge North American gaming market, which is well controlled by strict regulations.”

The iGaming market has been “particularly promising” within the U.S. and “has potential for expansion going forward,” the source added.

“If we can enter the U.S. iGaming market prior to widespread legalization, we will provide a promising opportunity to grow our presence in the segment,” added Sega Sammy, a spokesperson for Holdings.

“As [U.S.] states legalize online gaming, we expect existing operators to expand and new operators to enter the online gaming market. We believe GAN’s turnkey technology solutions are very competitive in enabling these operators to quickly enter the online gaming market.”

Sega Sammy Holdings noted that GAN is a “integrated” provider of Kulvet-branded online gaming platforms and Bulgaria’s online casino gaming development studio, Silverback Gaming, in Europe and Latin America.

The Japanese group has already flagged potential for synergies between GAN’s portfolio of services and products and its own casino equipment and gaming content unit, Sega Sami Creation Inc., the latter with a particular focus on North American land casino operators right now. Sega Sami Creation will be a group company that acquires GAN through a special purpose company.

“We believe that the combination of [Segasammi Creation’s] customer base and content development capabilities with GAN’s market-leading technology can help [us] realize synergies. This includes [massive] customer growth and enhanced content delivery,” a parent spokesperson told GGRAsia.

Student Baseball, A Wooden Bat or a Non-Wood Bat?

Which is Better for Student Baseball, A Wooden Bat or a Non-Wood Bat?’

Baseball Softball Association public hearing successfully completed… Association: “We will think deeply about it”

As there was a lot of discussion about whether wooden bats should continue to be used in student baseball or whether to return to non-wood bats,

such as aluminum bats, the Korea Baseball Softball Association (hereinafter referred to as the Association) held a public hearing and heard various opinions. 파워볼게임

According to the association on the 29th, a ‘public hearing regarding bats to be used in competitions for under-18s (high school)’ was held at Daejeon Health University the previous day with 90 field leaders, parents, players, and certified bat company officials in attendance.

A panel of experts, including journalists, discussed the clear definition and explanation of non-wood bats (alloy, hybrid, composite, etc.),

which were previously recognized as aluminum bats, the importance of thorough operation and management of the bat certification system,

the diversity and implications of interpretation through game data,

and the sports industry The need for a careful review of the overall situation, including the college entrance exam system, was shared with the attendees.

The association collected the results of a survey on bat material conducted over the past three years and student athlete game data (batting average, number of hits, number of home runs, slugging percentage, earned run average, strikeouts, average number of pitches per game, etc.)

since 2004 when the association switched to wooden bats, and reference materials such as non-wood bat testing methods and standards were presented.

As Korean baseball recently performed poorly in international competitions, voices began to emerge that non-wood bats should be used again in order to prevent student baseball, which is the lifeblood of baseball, from drying out.

The view is that if student athletes use non-wood bats with good repulsion and swing more boldly, their offensive power will improve.

Cost saving was also taken into consideration as it is more durable than wooden bats, which tend to break easily.

On the other hand, there is a counterargument that returning to non-wood bats without a thorough analysis after 20 years of using wooden bats could have a negative impact on the stabilization of player performance and the industry as a whole.

According to the association, attendees said, ‘It was an opportunity to clearly understand non-wood bats,’

‘I wish there were more events or opportunities like this in relation to the association system,’ and ‘There seem to be some aspects that need to be verified by forming an expert group.

It is said that responses such as ‘I hope it will be carried out with a sufficient grace period through a careful approach and clear procedures’.

In a bat preference survey conducted through anonymous voting after the public hearing,

wooden bats (67.9%) dominated non-wooden bats (30.9%).

Kim Yong-gyun, secretary general of the association, said, “We will continue to collect opinions from various stakeholders,

including coaches, players, and parents, and carefully consider the selection of student baseball bats.”

Japanese women’s soccer beat North Korea and advanced to the finals of the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The Japan defeated North Korea 2-1 in the second home match of the Paris Olympics women’s soccer

third qualifying round held at the National Stadium in Tokyo on the 28th.

Japan, who had drawn 0-0 with North Korea in the first match held on the 24th from Pyongyang, North Korea, to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia,

won the two games with a total of 2-1, confirming their advancement to the women’s soccer finals at the Paris Olympics held in France in July-August this year. 바카라사이트

SON says he was being used by Tottenham to re-sign after transfer market fiasco

It doesn’t protect against racism. Instead, they’re looking to capitalize on it.

Tottenham Hotspur journalist Paul O’Keefe was asked by a fan on social media on Sunday (July 17) about extending Son’s contract. “Maybe this summer, if Tottenham are unsuccessful in the transfer market, they will sign Son Heung-min,” he replied.

After the end of the season, one of the biggest questions is whether Tottenham will extend Son Heung-min’s contract. Son’s current contract expires at the end of next season. Naturally, it wouldn’t be surprising if Tottenham offered him a new contract.

However, Spurs have been reluctant to extend Son’s contract. Instead of signing Son Heung-min to a long-term contract, the club reportedly triggered a one-year extension option, which was criticized by fans. At 33 years old, Son’s performance is likely to decline in the near future. Recognizing this, Tottenham have been hesitant to sign him to a long-term contract in case his performance declines. As a result, soccer fans have criticized the club for letting one of their legends go.

However, Son Heung-min’s former coach Jose Mourinho took over the reins at Fenerbahce, and local media immediately reported that Mourinho was targeting Son Heung-min. The club’s president, Daniel Levy, quickly dismissed the rumors. The tide has turned and Tottenham are now pushing to re-sign Son Heung-min.

However, the news of Son’s re-signing will take some time. There hasn”t been any news about Thurquié since the transfer speculation. The player himself said that nothing has happened yet.

Son Heung-min played for the South Korean national team against China in the sixth match of the FIFA 2026 World Cup North and Central America second qualifying round in 먹튀검증 Asia. After the match, he spoke directly about re-signing with Tottenham. “I can’t say exactly yet. I haven’t talked about renewing my contract at all, so it’s uncomfortable to hear rumors about it. I am always doing my best for Tottenham and I will continue to do my best. I still have a lot of time left on my contract. It’s important for me as a player to do what I need to do, rather than letting that distract me.”

True to his word, there hasn’t been any concrete news of a new contract. The reason for the delay is shocking. Signing Son was a contingency plan for Tottenham.

If Spurs were to fail in the transfer market this summer, they would be criticized by Spurs fans. According to O’Keefe, Spurs have been saving Son Heung-min for that criticism. The re-signing of one of Tottenham’s greatest legends is sure to please Spurs fans. In the end, re-signing Son Heung-min is a backup plan. Tottenham are using Son Heung-min to their advantage.

If O’Keefe’s allegations are true, they’re likely to have major ramifications. Rodrigo Bentancur’s racism has been a hot topic lately. Bentancur appeared on a local television 사설 토토사이트 program in his native South Korea on March 15, where the host asked him if he would “give Son Heung-min’s jersey”. Bentancur replied, “I could bring his cousin’s jersey and he wouldn’t recognize it. All Asians look the same,” he said. It was a clear racist remark.

The video was shared by fans abroad and then by fans at home, and naturally, Bentancur received a lot of criticism. In response, Bentancur took to social media to apologize, writing, “My brother, Sonny, I apologize for what just happened. It was a very bad joke and it was never my intention to demean or hurt anyone. I love you, Son Heung-min.”

However, Bentancur’s apology was written in a joking tone and lacked sincerity, and it was posted on an Instagram story that disappears after 24 hours. The sincerity of Bentancur’s apology was questionable, and it disappeared after 24 hours.

But Tottenham hasn’t responded to the situation. The team has remained stoic in the face of a player racially abusing its captain. According to O’Keefe, “Tottenham’s leadership is currently on vacation, so they are unlikely to discuss the racism incident.”

Tottenham will host Team K League and Bayern Munich in friendlies on July 31 and August 3 at the Sangam World Cup Stadium. They will be playing in front of their home fans. However, the club hasn”t reacted to the racist incident. If they don”t apologize by the time they arrive, they”ll most likely be booed by the fans.

Meanwhile, Son Heung-min has remained silent about the racist incident. He hasn”t taken any position. Tottenham aren”t doing him any favors. Instead, they”re trying to use him to their advantage.
