A large number of 22 Korean players participated… “Reminiscent of the KLPGA, 2nd win in the season”
Korean players on the LPGA Tour Dio-Implant LA They participate in the Open (total prize money of 1.75 million dollars). 22 people. In particular, Ko Jin-young, who shook off an injury, and Yu Hae-ran, a terrifying newcomer, are on the upswing and are aiming for two wins with Korean players in the LPGA this season.
Twenty-two Korean players, from Ko Jin-young to Yu Hae-ran, will participate in the Dio Implant LA Open held at Palos Verdes Golf Club (par 71) in California, USA for four days from the 31st (Korean time). About 15.3% of the 144 players scheduled to participate are Korean players, and if you include many Korean players such as Lydia Ko (New Zealand), Jennifer Song, and Annie Park (above the United States), the number is even higher. It is misleading as if it is not the LPGA, but the Korean Women’s Professional Golf (KLPGA) tour.
The Dio Implant LA Open is familiar to Korean players. Palos Verdes Golf Club is located in Los Angeles County, which has the largest number of Koreans living in the United States, and Torrance, near the golf club, is a city with a high concentration of Koreans. Therefore, warm support from Koreans is expected. DIO, which has been participating as a sponsor of the competition since last year, is a domestic company specializing in digital implants. However, no Korean player has ever won the DIO Implant LA Open, which has been in its 6th year since its launch this year. Korean-American Lee Min-ji came to the top in the second round in 2019, and Nasa Hataoka (Japan) won last year.
Ko Jin-young, who is ranked third in the world, takes the lead and aims for the second win of the season. Ko Jin-young was sluggish last year due to a wrist injury, but she completely shook it off this year. She tied for 6th, won and tied for 5th in three LPGA Tour events this season, placing her in the top ranks. In particular, on the 5th, she won the HSBC World Championship for the second time in a row, breaking the 9-month and 18th tournament of Korean players. Ko Jin-young did not lag behind in the championship competition even though he suffered from a sore throat due to allergies at the Drive-On Championship, which ended on the 27th. Jeon In-ji, who is ranked 9th in the world rankings, and Kim Hyo-joo, who is 10th in the world ranking, are also expected to exert their strength. Jeon In-ji was the last Korean player to win last year, and she reached the top at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, a major tournament in June. She plans to set the stage for her reversal with the help of her familiar environment this time. Kim Hyo-joo, who was included in the top 10 in both competitions she participated in this year, aims to win the championship 11 months after the Lotte Championship in April last year. 카지노사이트
Yoo Hae-ran, the most likely candidate for Rookie of the Year this season, challenges her first win. Yoo Hae-ran, who passed the LPGA Qualifying Series in December of last year in first place, debuted on the LPGA Tour at the Drive-On Championship last week and tied for 7th place, drawing attention. Yoo Hae-ran is the 2020 KLPGA Tour Rookie of the Year. Park Geum-gang, who also debuted at the Drive-On Championship with ninth place in the qualifying series last year, is eager to win her championship trophy. Joo Soo-bin, who is considered the ‘third Korean rookie’, will participate as an invited player and make her LPGA Tour debut.
