End of warm-up… Ko Jin-young “Go major queen in 4 years”
Jin-young (28), the world’s third in women’s golf, challenges to win a major tournament for the first time in four years.
Ko Jin-young will attend the Chevron Championship (total prize money of $5.1 million), the first major tournament of the LPGA Tour season, to be held at The Club at Carleton Woods (par 72, 6824 yards) in Woodland near Houston, Texas for four days from the 20th. participate
After being promoted to the majors in 1983, the tournament was held as Nabisco Diner Shore, Nabisco Championship, and ANA Inspiration, but was renamed Chevron Championship last year. The Club at Carleton Woods, designed by Jack Nicklaus (USA), will hold a major tournament for the first time since its opening in 2001.
All the best players in the world gathered to match the first major tournament of the season. 42 of the top 50 players, including all players within the world’s top 20, including world No. 1 Lydia Ko (New Zealand), No. 2 Nellie Korda (USA), and defending champion Jennifer Cupcho (No. 20, USA) will participate.
The website of the tournament said, “The number of wins won by 58 LPGA champions is 247, and the number of major championships won by 29 major champions, including five major winners last year, reached 41.” Newcomer Grace Kim (Australia), who won the Lotte Championship on the 16th, joined the team as the last train.
Among 132 players from 28 countries, 16 are Korean players. Hyo-joo Kim (#9 in the world) and In-ji Jeon (#11), Hye-jin Choi (#24), Hae-ran Yoo, Se-young Kim, Eun-hee Ji, Anna Lin, Seong-hyun Park, So-yeon Yoo, A-rim Kim, Jung-eun Lee 6, and Ji-eun Shin are aiming for the championship.
Ko Jin-young is considered the strongest candidate for the championship along with Lydia Ko and Nellie Korda, the ‘Big 3’ in the world of women’s golf. 온라인카지노
A breathtaking match between those who boast the best conditions in a position where anyone can become the world’s No. 1 if they win is expected.
Ko Jin-young, who shook off her ordeal from her wrist injury last year by winning the HSBC Women’s World Championship, her second event this season, will sortie three weeks after resting, swinging, and checking her condition after the LA Open earlier this month. She dreams of becoming the first ‘major queen’ to be born on a new competition course less than three hours’ drive from her home in Dallas.
Jin-Young Ko has amassed her two major wins with wins at the ANA Inspiration and Evian Championships in 2019 out of 14 wins in her LPGA career. However, in 11 major challenges since then, she has only finished in the top 10 on six occasions, and she has not won. The most regrettable thing for her was the tie for second place at the 2020 US Women’s Open, and in the recent major tournament, last year’s AIG Women’s Open, she suffered the bitter taste of missing the cut.
Korean players are challenging their 36th major title since Pak Se-ri won the LPGA Championship in 1998. Jeon In-ji, who won the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship last year, dreams of a grand slam by winning 4 of her 5 major tournaments in this tournament.
