I couldn’t eat grass, only debt… ‘Korean golfers’ who are pushed by Japan

An agent official who met at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship site, which ended at the Fields Range East Golf Course near Dallas, Texas, said, “Japanese players seem to be comfortable to miss green, but Korean players are very nervous if they can’t put them on green.”

It was actually.

310 yards short par 4 7th hole. The back wind is also blown upon, so most LPGA tour players can put tee shots on the green. Green is difficult instead of a short battlefield. Towering and inclined. Besides, the pin was plugged into the corner.

Most of them failed in 1 on a short game contest near Green, and Korean players shaken exceptionally. Turn over the ground or green, there were many double bogies. There was even onion. It is said that he hit seven strokes near the green near the green.

Yunna’s popularity scrambling (the rate of finishing with more than a score when missing green) was 31.5%. Kim Arim (18.2%) and Hae -ran (26.1%), Korea’s ace, were lower than this. Jeon In -ji, Hwang Yu -min, and Choi Hye -jin were good, but as a whole, Korean athletes had a hard time around the green.

Kim Arim, who won the US Open in 2020, or the usual short game of Hae -ran, who won eight wins in Korea and the United States, is not so bad. However, the lack of basic skills is revealed in the bad condition of the major competition, which has a strong wind, a solid green and a pinwitch.

Long games grown on artificial mats, short games on the grass

“I didn’t have many opportunities to practice on natural grass since I was young,” he said. “After becoming a professional, I often heard that the venue was empty after a few hours. I practiced mainly on artificial mats, and I had little opportunity to experience various lawns and demanding lies.”
