However, it is analyzed that the power is much stronger. Ko Jin-young, who suffered from a left wrist injury last year and her performance plummeted, made a perfect comeback by winning the HSBC World Championship, her second competition of the season, within a year. She subsequently finished 5th-25th and was also ranked 9th at the first major Chevron Championships of her season. Kim Hyo-joo, who has five wins in her career, recorded three top 10 finishes in six competitions this season and continued her steady performance by finishing 11th at the Chevron Championship.
