My personal best was 10 under par, so today I set a new record.<\/p><cite>Minami Katsu<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nKatsu, who achieved a total of 12 birdies, revealed that he focused on the basics, without thinking about records. His exceptional performance surpassed the previous course record by one stroke, set by Sei Young Kim last year.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Honestly, I&#8217;m very happy with the record I made today. Obviously, we still have two days of play left, so there&#8217;s probably no celebration. I&#8217;ll try to keep it simple.<\/p><cite>Minami Katsu<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nIna Yoon placed second with 68 strokes, totaling 11 under par.
