}Aleš Kořínek (born 9 January 1983) is a Czech professional golfer and former football player. As a footballer, he played as a goalkeeper for several clubs including FC Tescoma Zlín of the Czech First League, also taking part in the UEFA Intertoto Cup.[1] Kořínek started his golf career after retiring from football in 2013.[2]
Kořínek represented the Czech Republic at youth groups all the way up to under-21 level. He made his Czech First League debut for Zlín against Příbram on 27 March 2005. In 2006, Kořínek was one of four Zlín players who went out on loan to Slavia Kroměříž for the second half of the 2005–06 Czech 2. Liga.[3]
During his time at Zlín, he celebrated promotion to the Czech First League and played in the UEFA Intertoto Cup.[4] He kept a clean sheet in the 2005 UEFA Intertoto Cup first round match against Belarusian side FC Neman Grodno, which sent his club to the second round.[5] After his contract with Zlín expired at the end of the 2012–13 season, Kořínek left the club and retired from football at the age of 30.[2]
After retiring from professional football, Kořínek immediately applied for professional golf status in the Czech Republic. He soon moved up to become one of the top 10 players in Czech Republic. In 2020, Kořínek won on the Pro Golf Tour in Austria[6] and the Grand Final of the Czech PGA Tour.[7] In 2021 he was ranked among the top five Czech players. In August 2022, Kořínek set a new course record at Beroun, finishing his fourth round of the Czech Open in 60 strokes, although he went on to finish second in the tournament behind Julien Brun.[8]
