<Women's Golf> PARK JIYEON's 8th victory... KLPGA record of ”72 holes without bogeys” was not achieved
On the 14th, at the Mediheal Hankook Ilbo Championships held at Club 72CC in Incheon, she finished with a total of 22 under par, the same as last year's KLPGA (Korean Women's Professional Golf) title.
Park Ji-Yeon (29), a "veteran" with three tour victories, won her first championship trophy of the season. This is her second victory in the tournament overall, and her first victory in seven months since September last year.
She won eight LPGA Tour titles, winning 180 million won (US$200,000) and bringing her lifetime total to over 4 billion won (US$440,000).
However, the biggest concern was whether she could achieve a 72-hole no bogey victory. Park Ji-Yeon, who started the tournament in the top spot, had a total of 100 holes without a bogey until the third round.
She took seven birdies and took the lead. She had won five times on the KLPGA Tour with no bogeys on 54 holes, but had never won with no bogeys on 72 holes, so this victory and her first time in KLPGA history.
There was a lot of interest in this first record. In the fourth round on the final day, Park Ji-Yeon continued to play without a bogey until the 15th hole. However, on the 16th hole, which was the 70th hole of the tournament,
On the hole, she missed a 4-meter par putt and ended up with a bogey. Park Ji-Yeon managed to keep the remaining holes at par, but unfortunately she was unable to achieve her big record.
After the match, Park Ji-Yeon said, "I'm happy to win my second Korean tournament. I'm glad to have won my eighth victory so quickly.
I want to achieve this, give myself a pat on the back and be confident. It was a very tense and difficult day for me. My goal is to keep up the good feeling and achieve another victory as soon as possible.
Since last year, I have been thinking about how to improve my game. I am very grateful that my efforts have led to this victory. Now that I have won, I will prepare well for the next tournament.
Yoon In-na, a super rookie who returned to the KLPGA Tour after her punishment for playing a wrong ball was lifted on the same day, participated in the "Doosan Construction We've Championship" last week.
" and tied for 34th place, safely making his comeback. In this tournament, he tied for first place with a score of 9 under par on the first day, but only managed to improve by one stroke in the remaining rounds, narrowly missing out on a place in the top 10.
After the match, Yoon In-na met with reporters and said, "The first day went well, but the remaining three rounds were not as good as the first day. I think it was a very disappointing match. For me and the other players,
I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who made time to come to this event. It's been a long time since I last played with so many people, and it was great. Thank you for your support.
"I was able to play with strength. It's unfortunate that we didn't achieve such good results, but it was still very good," he said, expressing his gratitude to the fans.
