The Korea Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) tour has five major tournaments. To be precise, it is a major level tournament. This is because the tour has not officially designated it as a major tournament.
The Korea Women’s Open, KLPGA Championship, Hanwha Classic, KB Financial Star Championship, and Hite Jinro Championship hosted by the Korea Golf Association (KGA) are major tournaments.
‘Trendy woman’ Park Min-ji (25, NH Investment & Securities) has no wins in the Hanwha Classic and KLPGA Championship among her five major tournaments. If she wins both tournaments, she will achieve a career grand slam.
Park Min-ji took the opportunity to win at the Hanwha Classic (total prize money of 1.7 billion won). Held on the 25th at Jade Palace GC (par 72) in Chuncheon, Gangwon-do, she caught 2 bogeys and 4 birdies in the second round of the second day of the tournament and hit 2 under par 70.
Park Min-ji, who recorded an interim total of 6 under par 138, turned the halfway point with a sole lead while the afternoon group was playing.
Park Min-ji was the runner-up in this competition last year. The rough is long and the fairway is a proof that it is optimized for the narrowly set competition course, so it can be said that there is a high possibility of winning.
At a press conference after the round, when asked about his thoughts on winning the tournament, he said, “Out of the five major tournaments, only the Hanwha Classic and the KLPGA Championship could not win.” “There are still two days left, so I want to be greedy and win. I have a secret plan, but I will reveal it when I win,” she smiled.스포츠토토
He also revealed his thoughts on Ataya Titikun (Thailand), a strong candidate for the championship, who was invited to this tournament. Park Min-ji praised her, saying, “I played together at the Singapore Women’s Open last December, and the distance went far, and I think I was the world’s No. 1 player at that point, but I think he is a great player.”
And he said that he had a lot in common with him. Park Min-ji said, “I heard T.T.Cool said in an interview that ‘Being happy with family comes first before ranking in the world’, and I thought he was similar to me.” revealed the wish.
Regarding the point that this season is not the same as last year, Park Min-ji said, “I don’t think I can play well every time. He explained the reason for the sluggishness, saying, “It seems that the accuracy within 100m has decreased a little compared to before.”
At the same time, he said, “I like the extremes of first place and last place rather than the middle. There are several missed cuts this year as well, and the more I do, the more my concentration increases, and I think I have a better mindset to hit and go up when things go wrong.”
He also said, “I think it’s important to have a mindset to stand up again without being sad when things go wrong,” he said. I think it can be done,” he said.
