Kim Joo-hyung, who won three times on the KPGA Tour, reportedly broke the locker room door after finishing second in a domestic tournament.

Kim Joo-hyung was runner-up after losing to Ahn Byung-hoon in overtime of the DP World Tour and Korea Professional Golf Association (KPGA) Tour Genesis Championship held at Jack Nicklaus Korea Golf Club in Songdo, Incheon on the 27th.

Kim Joo-hyung was one shot ahead of Ahn Byung-hoon until the 17th hole of the final round, but he missed a birdie putt on the 18th hole (par 5), where Ahn Byung-hoon birdied and played overtime.

In overtime at the 18th hole, Kim Joo-hyung's second shot was caught in the bunker jaw rough in front of the green, and his third shot, which had to be hit in an unstable position, went well over the green and reached the green in four times.

Kim Joo-hyung, who even missed Papert, lost the trophy to Ahn Byung-hoon, who scored a birdie putt.

Kim Joo-hyung said "Congratulations" to Ahn Byung-hoon, but when he returned to the locker room, he couldn't hold back his anger and broke the door of the locker room.

After the fact was revealed, it was pointed out that the act of damaging public property used by other players, especially golf club members, on the PGA Tour is not only against basic courtesy, but also carries civil and criminal responsibilities.

The KPGA Tour, which hosted the tournament, reportedly plans to first pay Jack Nicklaus Korea Golf Club to repair the damaged door and later exercise the right to indemnify Kim Joo-hyung. It is also considering Kim Joo-hyung's referral to the reward and punishment committee.
