Final-round 10-under comeback seals third win of the season
Choi Min-wook has won his 16th title on the Golfzon G Tour, drawing level with Kim Hong-taek atop the all-time wins list.
Choi claimed victory in the final of the seventh event of the 2026 Shinhan Securities G Tour — with a purse of 100 million won ($75,100) — at Golfzon Joymaroo Champions Hall in Daejeon on Saturday, finishing at 15 under par.
After carding 5 under par in the first round, Choi surged with a 10-under final round to complete a come-from-behind victory. The win was his third of the season and his 16th on the G Tour overall, tying Kim Hong-taek's all-time record.
Choi opened the final round with back-to-back birdies on holes 1 and 2, then added three consecutive birdies on holes 4 through 6. He continued to pull ahead as the round progressed.
Kim Yong-seok 2, Sun Ji-ho, Ha Seung-bin 2 and Jang Tae-hyeong finished in a four-way tie for second. Jang, who recently placed eighth in the KPGA Tour qualifying tournament, shot 9 under in the final round.
Choi received the winner's prize of 20 million won and 2,000 points toward the season's grand prize standings. "I will not rest on the record of 16 wins and will continue to show my best," Choi said, adding that he was grateful to the sponsor, tournament officials and his family.
