Royal Roader on My Own Chapter 157

Of course, the reporters did not give up that easily . They continued to shove their mics in my face as if they wanted a clear answer even if it was just a single word .

“Can’t you tell us right now?”

“Yes, no . Please tell us at least that much . ”

However, I did not tell them anything related to it .

The Masters Tournament started like that .

The US Augusta National Golf Club .

There were close to 100 participants . Each of their skills were above average . It made sense since this was a tournament with such strict qualifications that even most famous golfers could not attend .

Maybe that was the reason . Han Sul Yi seemed much stiffer than usual . The way she kept looking around made it seem as if she was observing all of the famous golfers .

However, her mouth was still alive .

“There’s no need to be nervous . They are all great players, but you are the best, Mr . Hwi Ram . ”

“You seem to be more nervous than I am, Miss Sul Yi . Stop looking around and focus . ”

I had participated in many golf competitions after winning the Golden Dragon Cup .

My caddie had always been Han Sul Yi . I’m sure that there were more talented caddies around, however, I didn’t feel the need to change caddies .

It wasn’t as if I lost any tournament with her as my caddie .

I’m sure that this Masters Tournament would be the same .

Only the world’s greatest players were gathered here, however, my reputation was pretty high as well . I’ve participated in 11 tournaments and won 11 times since I earned the qualifications to round in the PGA .

I’ve also recorded a shockingly low number of strokes at each competition as well . Even when I was at my worst, my total score for four rounds was 20-under par .

Thanks to that, many experts had selected me to be one of the favorites to win . I was an oppressive top dog, even amongst the world rankers .

That was the reason that the largest gallery was stuck with me, along with the most cameras .

The Masters Tournament started like that . I satisfied everyone’s expectations and led in first place with an overwhelming difference .

I recorded first place in the first round with an 8-under par, while I recorded 6-under par on the second round in order to finish the cutoff in first place .

I then recorded 5-under par and 7-under par in the third and fourth rounds respectively in order to finish with a total score of 26-under par .

It was a new record for the lowest strokes at the Masters Tournament . Not only that, it was 8 strokes less than the former record of 18-under par .

Whiiiiiiiiiiiiistle-

Clap, clap, clap!

“Daehanmingook hurray!” (TL: Daehanmingook is full name of Korean Republic in Korean)

There was whistling, cheering, and clapping once I finished the final champion putt .

I was serenaded by the camera flashes as well .

Flash! Flash! Flash!

Honestly speaking, I was confident about winning the Masters Tournament . This was because I put in so much effort to use Jewels of Luck with high Luck Indexes each round .

Thanks to that, I wasn’t really satisfied with the score of 26-under par . I thought I’d get at least 30-under par after using so many high index jewels .

Anyway, I managed to easily become the star of the day, just as I wanted .

The interview immediately started .

There was no need for a translator . I had used my focus skill to study English whenever I had some time so that I could now speak fluently without much of an accent . (PR: But the accent is the best part of learning any language!)

It started with the typical questions .

How it felt to get a new record, how it felt to go wire-to-wire in first place, how it felt to win, who was the first person I thought about when I finished my champion putt, etc .

Simple things like that .

The question I had been waiting for came up near the end of the interview .

“The prize money for this tournament is 1 . 9 million dollars . Are you planning on donating all of your winnings to the Dandelion School again?”

“Of course . ”

“There are many places you can donate to other than the Dandelion School . Is there a special reason you only donate to the Dandelion School? The rumors say that it is because you are the founder of the Dandelion School, player Kang Hwi Ram . Can you say something regarding those rumors?”

“That is correct . ”

I kept it short and sweet .

However, I guess it was too short and sweet . The reporter did not seem to understand .

“Excuse me?”

“I promised to reveal everything if I won the tournament today . That is why I will borrow this platform to announce it . I am indeed the founder of the Dandelion School . I did not reveal it until now because I did not want people to get the wrong idea about my intentions . ”

I had spent a lot of time to come up with this response . I was researching how to say it so that it could touch as manypeople as possible .

That was how I came up with this response .

“My childhood was a difficult one . Although I had a chance to go to school, I lived a life without knowing what my talents were, what I should do with my life, nor what kind of person I should be . Because of that ……”

‘Studying is something you do on your own . Whether it is English, Math, Science, or even if you are learning something technical, the most important thing is your desire to learn .

‘However, I thought that it was the job of adults to instill that sense of desire in young children .

‘I thought their job was to tell me why I should study and what I should study . I also thought they would help me want to study .

‘I did not have such opportunities . I just closed my eyes and did what I had to do in order to avoid a dark future .

‘I am certain that there are still students like that . There are a lot of students who are talented and would study harder than anybody else if they had the means, however, they cannot do so because they do not have the means . ’

“I’m sure that I cannot save all of them . However, as long as it is possible, I wish to provide children like that the opportunity to thrive . That’s the only reason . ”

It was a pretty long interview . Other reporters wanted to interview me afterward as well . Naturally, there were Korean newspapers that wanted to interview me as well .

Thanks to that, it took about an hour to complete all of the interviews .

But I felt refreshed after finishing all of them . Now I just needed to go back to my lodging and rest .

“Miss Sul Yi, shall we go? Hmm?”

Han Sul Yi was looking at me, however, her gaze was different than before . She seemed to be half out of it .

Seeing as how she wasn’t responding when I was calling her, she seemed to have been like this for a while .

Han Sul Yi was not the only one like that . The gallery surrounding me seemed to be in awe as well . Some people even whistled and clapped for me .

This was the same for the other players . They had been giving me angry glares the whole tournament because I was in first place by an overwhelming advantage, but they were all looking at me warmly now .

Yes! This was the type of atmosphere I wanted .

Now it was time to reveal more about myself . I plan to reveal that, in addition to being a pro golfer, I have shares in many companies and that I am a businessman seeking out talented individuals .

Then people who can help me should flock to me like clouds .

At least I hope that happens .

“Miss Sul Yi . Let’s go . ”

“Excuse me? Ah, yes . Let’s go . ”
