"I am so glad that I didn't make any bogeys for the past 2 days."
Min-Gyu Cho watched the inaugural PGA Tour game in Japan, ZOZO Championship at his home last week. But he went to see the PGA Tour in his home country Korea, CJ Cup.

"I have learned a lot from that PGA Tournament in Korea, gave me good images too."
As he said, he has made a great performances this week.
His first victory in Japan was at the 2011 Kansai Open, but it took him 5 years to grab his second victory at 2016 Fuji Sankei Classic.
"I have been in Japan for 13 years, and my Japanese is quite good now. I really want to win in Japan, but for this tournament, I am just halfway through, so I don't really want to think too much about winning yet. I hope I could make my remaining 2 round with no bogeys."
