Rookie Li Shuying (20) of Chinese nationality set her sights on winning her first championship with a hole-in-one.
In the second round of the Korea Women’s Professional Golf (KLPGA) Tour BC Card/Hankyung Ladies Cup (total prize money of 800 million won) held at Pocheon Hills CC (par 72.5530 yards) in Pocheon, Gyeonggi Province on the 24th, Leishuing took 1 eagle and 7 birdies and bogey 4. Adding the dog, he hit a 5-under-par 67. With an interim total of 10 under par and 134 strokes, as of 3:00 p.m., Lee Ga-young (24) is putting his name on the joint lead.
On this day, Reshuing performed flawless play, reducing 6 strokes without bogey during the 9 holes in the first half. He made a good start by catching a birdie from the 1st hole (par 5). He caught a birdie with his third shot from the rough coming close to the pin.
The best shot came from hole 4 (par 3). The ball hit with the 8-iron rolled about 2m from the green and was sucked into the hole. In this hole the day before, Jung Ji-min made a hole-in-one first, so he did not receive the prize. Still, he recorded a hole-in-one for the first time in an official competition, raising the feeling of the shot to the peak. Even after that, he made three more birdies and jumped to the top of the leaderboard at once.
The second half was a bit difficult. Maybe because I was a bit nervous, I started to see. Still, after committing a bogey, he immediately made up for it with a birdie, finishing the game at 5 under par. The results of the first round of the previous day and the second round of this day are the best scores recorded by resealing this season.
After the game, Li Shuing said, “Because the weather was nice, the distance was a bit longer than usual. Thanks to that, I was able to catch the wedge on the next shot, and I had many birdie chances by putting it next to the pin.” It is said that the best play in the first half was rather burdensome in the afternoon. He said, “I was honestly nervous because it was the first time I had such good results메이저놀이터 on a regular tour.”
Regarding the hole-in-one, he said, “When I hit the 7-iron in the first round, I felt a little big. Then, he smiled brightly, saying, “I was sure it would have stuck next to the pin, but I didn’t see the ball go in. I was moving to the hall and the galleries cheered loudly, so I knew it was a hole-in-one.”
Li Shuing is the first foreign player active on the regular tour after the KLPGA tour opened overseas. He was born in Shanghai, China and came to Korea when he was 7 years old. His mother is Chinese and his father is Korean. Last year, the KLPGA Tour fully opened its Jump Tour (Part 3) to foreigners in order to open its doors to foreign players. After going through the Jump Tour and the Dream Tour (part 2), Leshuing won the regular tour seed in a year. He is the first foreign player to advance to the regular tour without going through the International Qualifying Tournament (IQT).
I haven’t been able to get any good grades yet. He competed in 10 tournaments, and his best result was 8th place at the Nexen Saint Nine Masters last April. In three tournaments, including her previous tournament, the Korean Women’s Open, she tasted the pain of being cut.
He confided, “It was amazing and intimidating to be able to play with the Oni stars on the regular tour. Because of that, I didn’t get good results in the first half.” Still, he said, ‘I can do it’ and comforted himself.
Before this tournament, I asked a friend who is practicing at the same academy to be my caddy with the mindset of ‘Let’s have fun’. He smiled brightly, saying, “I think I achieved the best grades this season because I relaxed while talking with my friends while moving.”
Li Shuying is likely to contend for the championship in the championship group for the first time in her life. He said, “Because the goal was to pass the preliminaries, the championship group was something I never thought of.”
