Here is the tee.
A hole is set up on the left side of the courtyard.
The outcome will be determined by that one hole.
One club, one ball.
Who wants to start?
I will go first.
With an 8-iron, the fountain will not get in the way.
Using an 8-iron, the fountain will not be in the way.
This will be an interesting game.
What the... is she really going to use a putter?
Using the putter to get the ball over the fountain will be difficult.
Why do you look surprise,
Steamed Bun.
To get it into the courtyard directly,
then the ball has to go higher than that tree.
To get it that high up, the club face has to be tilted.
There are too many obstacles.
To use a putter to get into the courtyard directly is not possible.
So far, you have not faced any problems.
It's not that easy to get it over the wall with a putter.
Your second shot was pretty good.
But here, it seems a little inconvenient.
What the... no way.
Now, let's see your true ability.
An iron club is at a disadvantage while the putter has an advantage.
But up until now, I am still leading.
I will play the chip shot here.
This will determine the outcome of this showdown. No...
What the... surely she is not
confirming the putting line?
No matter how good she is, she will need at least two shots.
No way. It cannot end like this.
I should at least get the ball in to make it a tie.
I absolutely cannot lose to these arrogant people.
I just heard that you might not play golf in the future.
I think this may be the right decision.
You have to overcome yourself first before you can overcome others, this is what golf is.
Anyway, it was an enjoyable game.
Are you going to give up golf, just like this?
What do you know?
What do you know? What do you know?!
What's that sound?
Are they mining something?
Isn't that your daughter, Mi Su?
What? Mi Su?
Dad.
Dad, I'm sorry.
But I still can't give it up.
I want to continue to play golf, Dad.
Where did he go this early?
Mi Su, what are all these?
Aren't these new golf clubs?
- What is this? - Mom.
Tae Gab. Omo, Tae Gab!
Tae Gab, when did you get released?
Dad came earlier.
Dad became a witness.
Your father?
But where did Dad go?
Mi Su,
I am extremely sorry to have put you in this difficult position because of your irresponsible father.
My words are sincere.
A family like ours,
how can we afford a sport just for the rich?
To be honest, I still cannot understand.
For the family, I had hoped you would give up.
But if you are really committed to do this, then, I'll throw in the towel.
But ultimately, this is all that I can do for you.
I hope you will realize this and do your best this time.
I had bought new clubs and a clarinet.
As a father, there is a lot of things that I want to do for you.
It would be difficult to fulfill all your requests, since your father's ability is very limited.
I was always mean and reckless.
I will leave temporarily.
Please take care of your mother, Mi Su.
Dad!
Dad...
I will surely become a professional golfer.
I will succeed, Dad.
Dad...
This broken GPS will only work if you hit it a few times.
Mom, this is a familiar road. Without the GPS, we will be fine, right?
I had set up a shortcut in the GPS.
With players coming in with family members, we can never tell if there'll be heavy traffic.
It would have been better to leave early.
You sure are long-winded.
Mom, after 20 meters, turn right.
Take a look.
These questions will be asked at the press conference today.
The tank is full, but why is it acting strangely?
Beats me.
Omo.
- What's wrong? - What happened?
Ah... the tires are stuck. What can we do?
Mom, it is starting in 30 minutes.
Mi Su, get out of the car and push from behind.
Mi Su!
No, you drive and I will push from behind.
If you get dirty, what will you do?
How much strength do you have?
What do you see us mothers, as?
You just step on the throttle.
Hurry! You don't want to be late!
Quickly, get in!
I am pushing.
I am pushing, step on the throttle.
What are you doing? Why stop? Continue!
Yeah.
For giving up on being one the world's best,
coming to South Korea to become a professional player, what is your reason?
The world's best?
Isn't that in South Korea?
At present, the best LPGA golfers are South Korean golfers.
To nurture these new talents in South Korea,
and to get a taste of that genuine victory, that is why I chose South Korea.
This time, the qualifiers will be broadcasted live.
Do you feel the pressure?
I am not too sure.
As long as I am on the fairways, my focus will be on the game.
I will focus on the game itself and not think about other things too much.
Your coaching staff in the US did not follow you here. Instead, you came alone.
For your training in South Korea, what are your plans?
To answer that, I think the gentleman there will know.
The person who holds the record for the lowest total strokes and winning a PGA open,
a famous player and coach, John Lee.
Number 33 Sung Mi Su.
There's still 15 minutes left.
Mi Su,
this is egg rolls and rice balls.
You cannot stay hungry.
Okay.
What is this?
You will be in first place as long as you wear this.
Mom...
Don't talk so much and quickly change into it!
I had spent a great effort to get this done.
It was 100 000 Won, 100 000 Won.
I am doing this for your own good.
I know. Nothing else, right?
You should hurry home and take a bath.
How can I?
I'll just put on some simple make-up.
I will encourage you at the clubhouse.
I am going, then.
Mi Su...
fighting!
Sung Mi Su, fighting!
Fighting!
Has your wrist injury healed?
Will you live in South Korea?
I heard you practised with Min Hae Ryeong in the same club.
You are now her coach. Is that the reason?
Please comment.
Section Chief, I am Park Eun Joo.
Breaking news. John Lee has finally appeared.
Yes, that John Lee. I am positive.
His hair style completely changed, I nearly didn't recognize him.
After his wrist operation, there were no news about him.
This time, he actually appeared as Min Hae Ryeong's coach.
Could it be that guy who has a mop head is John Lee?
That's impossible.
Today's centre of attention should be on you. Why did you bring John Lee into the picture?
The reporter's question,
John had helped answer that question. I still have to thank him.
- I am leaving first. A lot of people came to the KLPGA. I need to greet them. - President.
I wish you all the best in today's game.
Steamed Bun!
How do you feel today?
It's good to see you again.
You are the only golfer I know in South Korea.
What a coincidence, we meet again.
Then, should we treat this competition as another game?
Then, it would not be interesting at all.
Well then, you guys can continue chatting. I'll be leaving first.
See you at the competition, Steamed Bun.
Why do you always pester her?
Me, pestering her?
You always like to provoke her.
Is that so?
Yun Na.
How long have you been playing golf?
12 years.
12 years. The country sure has changed.
When Park Se Ri won the LPGA, you just started to play golf.
Throughout these 12 years,
how much has your dad spent on you?
620 million Won.
That's right. You are right.
Today, for this event, 1.2 million has been spent.
So, a total of 621.2 million Won has been spent.
Repeat after me, 621.2 million Won.
621.2 million Won.
What the... where did your ambition go?
621.2 million Won!
Don't forget.
You need to exceed LPGA champion Park Se Ri's achievements.
Achieving 10 times her achievements and even more should not be a problem.
This is how you show your filial piety to your dad.
Yun Na.
You are our family's hope and what again?
Lotto! (Lotto - a lottery game)
The winning numbers are...
69, 68, 67, 66.
That's right.
You must choose all those that are below 70.
From this year onwards, in the selection of the professional golfers, there are only 10 spots available.
- You know, right? - I know!
You must enter the top 10.
Dad will be watching you. You know, right?
Excuse me, please do not impede the other players.
Yes, thank you for reminding.
Do well.
Your oppa still looks the same.
Eonni.
I am more afraid of my oppa than the competition.
Wow, Eonni you sure look extravagant today.
They said this is a live broadcast so I just put on some make-up.
Live broadcast?
You didn't know? Because Min Hae Ryeong is taking part,
some reporters will be broadcasting live.
It's bustling here.
I heard they are going to start a new golf drama series.
Because of today's broadcast,
don't you think I will be asked to attend a casting?
Ah... I'm so nervous.
I don't really understand her.
I saw her US interview and she was so fake.
It just ruins my appetite.
Her parents have the ability to support her.
If she did not reach this standard, other people would laugh at her.
Min Hae Ryeong is here.
Eonni, hello.
I am a big fan of yours.
To be able to play with you in this competition today,
I really cannot believe it.
Eonni, I'm really honored.
Please sign your name on the ball.
I will use this ball today in the competition.
=This is the first time in history where the selection of professional golfers will be broadcasted live.=
=In figure skating, we have Kim Yu Na while in golf, we have Min Hae Ryeong.=
This time, even if the sky falls, you must be selected.
You must be selected, please.
=There should be a lot of viewers out there who are very interested in this competition.=
=Please explain how this selection will be conducted.=
=There will be 3 rounds altogether.=
=It is based on stroke play. One round has 18 holes, thus in total 54 holes.= (Stroke play - the winner has the least no. of strokes played over the stipulated no. of rounds)
=Those in the top 10 will be selected.=
=Those above 90 in every round will be cut off.= (Cut off - players are eliminated if they are not below the set threshold)
=A total of 6156 yards, par 72, 18 holes.=
=There are 4 people to a group, making it a total of 10 groups.=
Players cannot bring their own caddies.
Each group will have their own house caddy.
All right then. To all of you, fighting.
=Okay. The KFG selection trials is underway. The first round has started.=
=It's sunny and not that windy. These conditions are very suitable.=
=All right. Next up is Min Hae Ryeong's group, Group 8.=
=That's right. Min Hae Ryeong, Sung Mi Su,=
=Oh Yun Na, Na Na Mi. Four of them in a group.=
=Na Na Mi's tee shot.=
=Ah, it landed in the bunker.=
=Min Hae Ryeong is being cautious here.=
Don't be nervous, Sung Mi Su.
Play like how you normally play during practice.
=Sung Mi Su,=
=she is very good in hitting long distance balls.=
=Yes. Looking at the past records,=
=this is her third time taking part in the selection trials.=
=Ah, it went really far.=
Good job!
Was that 300 yards?
Looking at the current scoreboard, today's lowest score may be just around the corner.
Next.
Hey, why can't you watch it on TV and insist on going to the clubhouse?
Even Tae Gab is okay with that. It's just you who is in high spirits.
On my rest day, why do I have to go to the golf course?
After the game, we get to greet them.
They will be happy to see us.
I am already upset for not buying the tickets to the gallery.
If you go there, you will see my mom.
- That's right. - That's right.
- Your mom's there! - Your mom's there!
Our mother is really great.
Isn't that right, Tae Gab?
Our... mother?
Haha.
Say, this girl will not lose to Min Hae Ryeong at the end of it all, after giving all that she's got, right?
Hey, she is our Mi Su.
Our... Mi Su?
Tee off should be done by now. (Tee off - hit the first shot)
=For their second shots, the players are moving to the next location.=
=Their pace seems light.=
=Min He Ryeong's shot lands on the green.=
=This gives her a chance to get a birdie.= (Birdie - Play a hole with a score of one stroke under par)
=Today's wind is light and easy, which will not be a disturbance to the players.=
=The conditions are good.=
=Sung Mi Su's shot also lands on the green.=
It's not only far but the line is also a tricky one.
It will be difficult for her to get a birdie.
=Min Hae Ryeong is carefully checking her putting line.=
=Good shot, that was a very clean and tidy birdie.=
=It's a birdie.=
Sure enough, she interpreted the line very accurately.
Do not be distracted, Sung Mi Su.
Focus on your own game.
=Sung Mi Su got a birdie.= Birdie, birdie, birdie, birdie!
=Sung Mi Su has a smile on her face.=
=She has taken the ball out of the hole.=
It's a birdie.
Hey, this is great. She got a birdie on her first hole.
What is happening today?
=She did well on the first hole and even got a birdie.=
=Sung Mi Su's condition looks pretty good today.=
=Sung Mi Su also gets a birdie on the 9th hole.=
=We are just half-way in the competition.=
=Sung Mi Su has 3 birdies and 2 bogeys.= (Bogey - A score of one stroke over par at a hole)
=She is now at one under par (-1).= It's in, it's in! (Par - no. of strokes a scratch golfer is required for a particular hole or course)
It's a birdie, a birdie, not "it's in" but a birdie.
=Min Hae Ryeong is also at one under par (-1).=
=That's right. Her birdie was on the first hole while the others were par.=
=Let's take a look at Sung Mi Su's shot.=
=Good shot.=
=Min Hae Ryeong's expression doesn't change much as the game progresses.=
=She has maintained par at all the 12 holes consecutively.=
=The ball hit the flag pole. Haha, a lucky ball.=
=If it did not hit the flag pole, it would have gone very far.=
=Sung Mi Su is very lucky today.=
Eonni, you must be happy.
As long as you continue to play well,
you will remain at one under par (-1) after the first round.
I felt lucky today and was able to have a smooth game. The ball also hit the flag pole.
=Finally, the 18th hole.=
=Min Hae Ryeong is still at one under par (-1).=
=That's right. From the 2nd hole to the 17th hole, she finished on par.=
=She even got a par on the 16th, that is a rare feat.=
There was no sign of hesitation and timidity. An extremely beautiful swing.
Although she did not exceed 250 yards,
she has been playing her drive shots very accurately.
I see it, Min Hae Ryeong.
You are playing along with Steamed Bun.
I can see you are teasing her.
You can get a birdie but you just got a par.
I see it, I can see.
Is that so?
Wow, a beautiful shot.
=Ah... it landed in the bunker.=
=It seems difficult to get a birdie.=
=She should end her round with a par.=
=It's a chip in.= It's a birdie, birdie, birdie! (Chip in - Where the ball lands in the hole after a chip shot)
=Sung Mi Su=
=is not a famous golfer.=
=I didn't expect her to play so well.=
I taught her, I taught her.
=A superb technique coupled with good luck.=
=Looks like she will at least be in a tie for first place.=
First place, Mi Su!
Mom... Mom.
This is just the first round. We have to see what happens after this too.
You brat. A good start means you have succeeded half-way.
Everything after this will go smoothly.
Yes, that's right.
Mi Su, thank you. Thank you, Mi Su.
Mom, you've worked hard.
Oh, yes. Yes.
=We will be looking forward to see her grow in this sport.=
=Yes. Sung Mi Su is an amazing golfer.=
=After the 1st hole today,=
=Min Hae Ryeong's performance has been average.=
=She may be used to the short game in the US.=
=It would be difficult for her to adjust herself here.=
=I originally thought she would get used to it immediately...=
=seems like Min Hae Ryeong's condition is not too good today.=
=It's looking good.=
=Yes! Ah... it's in! It's a birdie!=
=As expected, that's Min Hae Ryeong.=
=She finally showed what she's got.=
=So, there are two players tied for first place, Min Hae Ryeong is one of them.= Min Hae Ryeong is also in first place.
No. Our Mi Su is in first place, right?
That's right. Mi Su is the best.
- Sung Mi Su! Sung Mi Su! - Sung Mi Su! Sung Mi Su!
See that? See that?
That wench did not even greet us.
She does what ever she wants.
That's Min Hae Ryeong.
An unknown golfer like Sung Mi Su is tied for first place with her.
This is really unbelievable.
But, Mi Su is also in first place.
How come the camera is focused on her and not Mi Su?
It was broadcasted live because of Min Hae Ryeong.
Mi Su was able to be on television because of her.
Anyhow, Mi Su's mother will be at ease now.
Of course.
Well done, Mi Su.
You have also made our training school proud.
Next month, I will raise the fee by 30 000 Won.
Hae Ryeong is truly a world-class golfer.
All her scores were spot on just as how the computer had predicted.
Not even one mistake.
Especially the 1st hole and the 18th hole...
Everyone is expecting her to win by a few shots.
She is Min Hae Ryeong!
She is actually tied for first place.
Still, you should commend her.
Give her a call now.
Isn't this her first competition in South Korea?
No matter what, you must commend her. No matter what.
You can do that, right?
You little brat!
It hurts, Oppa.
Open your eyes to see clearly.
Your name is not even on the scoreboard, the scoreboard.
What are you going to do about it?
There is still tomorrow, tomorrow.
You little brat, you sure know how to talk back. I want to whack...
Whether it's golf or life,
no one knows what will happen tomorrow. Don't you know that?
I do know.
Tomorrow, I will surely play well.
- What did you say? You little brat. Come here. - Oppa, Oppa, it hurts, it hurts.
You sure look happy, Steamed Bun.
Let me thank you first.
Because of that strange golf game,
I took part in this competition.
I should be more grateful to you,
for choosing to pursue golf.
By the way,
you play like a mildew.
If so, you will be cut off.
This guy is really... he could have just kept it in but still had to say it out loud.
He is looking for trouble...
I knew our Mi Su would do well. I knew it.
Did you know how loud I cried?
I felt embarrassed after jumping and dancing at the club house.
Are you that happy?
If you keep this up, you will definitely be in the top 10.
Not anyone else but my daughter!
You will definitely be in there.
Aiyoo, if your father was around, he would also be very happy.
He is out at sea.
Even if he knew, he couldn't call you.
There it is.
Mom.
We could just go home. Why rent a place?
The round trip takes about an hour or so.
I feel we should not waste any precious time.
After your meal, get some rest so you are in tiptop condition.
Omo, omo, where did all these come from?
~ Congratulations! Congratulations! ~
~ Congratulations for getting first place. ~
Where did you all get the money to buy all these things here?
We said we wanted to come and encourage Mi Su.
The people in the village said she must make it.
So, they subsidized all these.
Mother, if Mi Su becomes a professional golfer,
you'll have to give us a treat.
Okay, okay, I know.
If she really becomes a professional golfer this time,
even if I need to borrow some money, I'll throw a banquet in the village.
Sit down, sit down.
Why are you doing things you shouldn't be doing?
Mi Su, how can you say that?
Mi Su...
I'll go and take a look.
Sung Mi Su, what's wrong?
Why are you like this?
You should be happy after getting first place in the first round.
At this time,
I really want to be eliminated.
I just want to focus on the competition.
Dealing with my family's expectations was hard enough,
now even the villagers have great expectations of me.
Mi Su...
It's really annoying.
Gung Suk and Tae Gab came to cheer you on.
Don't you know?
We only want you to succeed.
Your father too, who is out at sea.
He also hopes that you will make the cut.
Do you know what I am thinking about when I am playing golf?
It's like
I am holding my family's lifeline in my hands.
If I should let go,
it will be the same as dying.
Jun Ki...
Thank you.
Mi Su needs to get some rest for today.
Mi Su...
Jun Ki hyeong, let's go.
Tae Gab, don't starve yourself since you are alone.
Don't worry, Mother. I will take care of him.
We are going.
Mi Su, we are leaving.
Goodbye. Thank you.
Miss, the President is on the phone. Miss...
Mi Su.
Having incompetent parents like us have caused you much suffering.
That is why you have to work harder.
You must not live like us.
You must strive for a better life.
Your mother...
always dream that you had wings and
you were flying in the sky.
People, when they hope for something sincerely,
those hopes will be realized.
I am now, sincerely hoping that...
our Mi Su would achieve her dream.
I believe in you.
Mi Su...
stay strong, huh?
