After struggling following his move to LIV Golf last year, a star of men's professional golf has returned to the domestic stage this season.

Jang Yu-bin has signaled a definitive resurgence by securing victories in two consecutive tournaments.

Trailing the leader by three strokes heading into the final round, Jang pulled off a thrilling come-from-behind victory.

He joined the title race by shaving three strokes off his score in the front nine alone, and clinched a decisive birdie on the 16th hole while tied for the lead with Kim Min-jun.

Finishing one stroke ahead to claim the top spot, Jang achieved his second win of the season and the fifth of his career.

Jang, who was the 2024 Player of the Year and money leader, became the first Korean player to join LIV Golf last year. However, after realizing the high level of competition and returning to the domestic tour after just one season, he has gained momentum by winning his first tournament back last week, followed by a second consecutive victory, making him the first player to reach two wins this season.
