Hye-Jin Choi leads the LPGA championship thirst quenching… Mediheal Championship kicks off on the 7th

Korean players not winning 11 consecutive LPGA tournaments

Hyejin Choi (23), who made her debut on the LPGA Tour this year, achieved impeccable results.

As of the 4th, he is ranked 6th in the prize money ranking ($1891,440), 7th in batting average (69.55), and 6th in CME race points that determine the best player.

It’s really top notch.

The performance is also outstanding.

As the 40th in long batting rankings (average 264.19 yards) and 24th (79.18%) in the fairway landing rate, he has excellent driver skills.

Hyejin Choi’s green hit rate is 76.35%, the fifth highest on the LPGA Tour.

When he puts the ball on the green in the first few strokes, he ranks 36th (1.78) in putts, although it is not a very high skill.

The only thing missing is a trophy.

Choi Hye-jin, who has excellent performance no matter what time she wins, is always a candidate for the championship.

There was no chance to win, but bad luck or a small mistake messed things up.

While Choi Hye-jin’s thirst for victory was accumulating, the drought of winning Korean players on the LPGA tour deepened.

Since Jeon In-ji (28) won the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship in June, a Korean player has never won a championship in 11 recent LPGA Tour tournaments.

Hyejin Choi, who will participate in the LPGA Tour Mediheal Championship (total prize money of $1.8 million) held at the Saticoy Club (par 72) in Somis, California, USA for four days from the 7th (Korean time) It is the vanguard of resolving the drought drought at once.

Choi Hye-jin, who withdrew after playing only one round of the Ascendant LPGA, the previous tournament, took a precious rest to wash away the fatigue accumulated by the forced march.

If they win, it will also provide an opportunity to rekindle the flames of the Rookie of the Year competition with Ataya Titikun (Thailand).

The variable is the change of the course from Lake Merced in the San Francisco area to Southern California.

Unlike San Francisco, where the humidity is high and cool, Southern California is dry and daytime temperatures still exceed 30 degrees Celsius.

The Saticoy Club seems to have an advantage for players who use high trajectory shots as the course is long and the green is hard.

Kim Se-young (29), who won the event in 2019, Lee Jeong-eun (25), who was runner-up at the time, Yu So-yeon (32), Ji Eun-hee (36), Kim A-rim (27), Choi Woon-jeong (32), Anna Lin (26), etc. challenge to win

The tycoon who runs first in the Rookie of the Year race is aiming for three wins in the season.
