[OSEN=강희수기자]한국남자골프계의맏형최경주(54,SK텔레콤)가인터뷰카메라앞에서울컥했다.최경주는제주도핀크스GC(파72/7,326야드)에서열리고있는SK텔레콤오픈(총상금13억원,우승상금2억6,000만원)에출전중이다.3라운드까지경기를본사람들은최경주의무난한우승을점쳤을게다.그러나스포츠에서‘수월한’상황은없다.생각지도못한흐름이도사리고있기때문이다.상승흐름도있고,하강흐름도있다.최경주에게1~3라운드는최고의상승흐름이었다.1라운드를공동2위(이븐파)로마친최경주는2라운드에서7언더파를쳤다.잘치는날충분히나올수있는스코어다.그러나다른선수들과비교하면방금한말에신중해야한다.최경주가2라운드중간합계7언더파단독선두로우뚝솟은날,2위권(이태훈,박상현,한승수)은겨우1언더파에턱걸이하고있었다.3라운드도마찬가지였다.최경주가1오버파(-6)를치는사이2위장동규가2타를줄였는데도,장동규의3라운드중간합계는1언더파였다.최경주혼자다른골프장에서경기하는모양새가사흘내내펼쳐졌다.그랬던최경주도19일의최종라운드에서는바뀐흐름에고전했다.추격자들이조금씩타수를줄이는사이최경주는무려3타를잃었다.‘무려’라는말은앞선3개라운드와비교해서하는말이다.최경주는최종라운드에서버디는2개,보기는5개를기록했다.최경주가고전하는사이후배중에선역시선배격인박상현이가장많은타수를줄였다.4타를줄여최종합계3언더파를만들어놓았다.최경주와동타다.연장이다.결과론이지만연장승부또한최경주를빛나게하기위한정교한장치였다.파418번홀에서펼쳐진연장1차전에서최경주의두번째샷이방향이이상했다.최경주는우승후인터뷰에서“17,18홀을도는데허리가안좋았다.통증이느껴지면서스윙이불편했다.세컨샷을올리는데,‘물에들어갔구나’생각했다.그런데갤러리들의반응이약간이상했다.속으로‘한번의기회가더있겠구나’생각했다”고말했다.정말기묘한상황이벌어졌다.18번그린옆을얕은해저드가흐르고있었는데,해저드중간에가로세로2미터쯤되는작은섬이있었다.최경주의공이그작은섬의잔디위에앉아있었다.손으로던져올려놓기도힘든그런자리였다.최경주는침착하게세번째샷을핀근처로올렸고,파세이브까지성공했다.투온에성공한박상현도파로막아승부를2차전으로끌고갔지만분위기는왠지손해를본듯했다.예상대로였다.두번째연장전에서박상현은두번째샷이그린바깥에떨어졌다.이번에는최경주가투온에성공했다.결국박상현은우승자를위해보기퍼트를먼저하고그린에서물러나야했다.고난끝에얻은우승은백전노장의감정을자극했다.우승인터뷰를위해카메라앞에선최경주는떨리는목소리를숨길수없었다.최경주는“기대하지않았던SK텔레콤오픈4승을했다.후배들과열심히잘싸웠다.감격스럽고기분좋다”고소감을말했다.최경주의말대로그는이대회에서만네번째우승을했다.1997년부터이대회에참가해이번이22번째출전인최경주는그동안3차례(2003년,2005년,2008)정상에섰다.이미대회최다우승기록보유자다.여기에1승을더보탰다.KPGA투어로는통산17번째우승이다.11년7개월만에통산승수하나를더늘렸다.또한KLPGA투어최고령우승기록도19년만에갱신했다.19일은최경주의54번째생일이다.종전기록은2005년매경오픈에서최상호(69)가세운50세4개월25일이었다.미국프로골프(PGA)투어에서통산8승을거둔최경주는2020년부터는만50세이상이참가하는PGA챔피언스투어에서활약하고있다./[email protected]

우상혁.사진=게티이미지코리아우상혁(28·용인시청)이세이코골든그랑프리2연패에실패했다.우상혁은19일도쿄국립경기장에서열린대회남자높이뛰기결선에서2m27의기록으로은메달을따냈다.위알리스(24·호주)가2m30으로우승했다.4월홍콩에서전지훈련을소화한우상혁은5월부터본격적으로실외대회에출전하고있다.8월2024파리올림픽에대비해3일KBS배전국육상경기대회(2m25·1위),10일왓그래비티챌린지(2m31·2위)에출전하며페이스를끌어올려왔다.이번대회에선우상혁의개인기록(2m36)과시즌최고기록(2m33)모두참가자10명중가장뛰어나2연패를의심하는이가적었다.개인기록이우상혁과같은브랜든스타크(31·호주)가대항마로지목됐지만그또한올시즌최고기록이2m15에불과해우상혁의2연패도전에큰위협이되지않으리란예측이지배적이었다.경기초반우상혁은기대에걸맞은퍼포먼스를보였다.2m15부터경기를시작한다른선수들과달리우상혁은2m20부터바를넘었다.2m20과2m24를모두1차시기에서통과하며순조롭게대회2연패에성공하는듯했다.우상혁외에2m27까지생존한선수가개인기록과올시즌최고기록(이상2m30)모두그에미치지못한리스라2연패가능성이높아보였다.그러나2m30부터찾아온고비를넘지못했다.우상혁은2m27을3차시기에서겨우통과했다.결국리스와단둘만남은2m30에서1~3차시기모두실패했다.리스는2m30을2차시기에통과하며정상에올랐다.이후리스는개인기록경신을위해2m33에도전했지만1~3차시기모두실패했다.우상혁은6월1일대만타이베이에서열리는2024대만오픈대회에출전해실전테스트를이어간다.궁극적목표는파리올림픽에서개인기록경신과함께한국육상에사상첫트랙&필드메달을안기는것이다.권재민기자[email protected]
