Although Nbyul was absent from the tournament this time due to participating in the U.S. Women's Open, where Yuka Sasao won, she is setting a great record. After winning, Lee Ye-won said, "Rather than being greedy, I will be confident and play with confidence.
"I tried to play as hard as I could. I'm happy that I was able to get three wins this season sooner than I expected," he said with a laugh. He continued, "I'm happy that I was able to finish the tournament without a bogey. My short putting has improved.
"I didn't make any mistakes and that led to no bogeys. My goal was to win one more game than last year (three wins), so I'll achieve four wins and then think about my next goal."
In response to a question about whether the JLPGA Tour major tournament, the World Ladies Championship Salonpa Cup, was a turning point for her, she said, "That
At the time, I didn't feel good about my putting or shots. I went in with the intention of learning more, and although I was disappointed at the end, I gained confidence after that and was able to grab the chance to win right away.
Lee Ye-won will participate in the LPGA Tour major tournament, the Amundi Evian Championship, to be held in France in July, and said, "The timing is good and the course is good.
"I decided to participate because I heard that I would get along well with the Korean players. And even if I don't perform well, I know there's things I can learn from the field, so I've decided to take it to the next level of improvement."
Expectations are high for her first LPGA Tour appearance.
