LPGA 고진영선수(23)는 금년 첫 메이저대회인 ANA Inspiration에서
이미향선수를 3점차로 따돌리고 우승했다. 2주전 대회를 포함 금년
2승째이고 LPGA 통산 4승을 일구어냈다.

54홀 선두주자였던 고진영선수는 드라이브.아인언샷,펏팅에서 거의
완벽한 플레이를 해내 그녀가 염원하던 첫 메이저대회를 거뭐졌다.

이로서 금년 태극낭자군은 8게임중 5승을 일구어내 압도적인 우세를
보이고 있다.

우승한 자랑스러운 고진영선수에게 큰박수를 보낸다.   규정

I was watching 김시우 from Thursday to Sunday hoping him to win another one.

After he dunk the ball into the water on par 3 third hole, he just couldn’t do anything

right. But 고진영 saved my Sunday. It was really cool to watch her impeccable swing. 

Almost flawless play tee to green and getting it done by making putts made golf look

so easy. I think she will be number 1 in the world soon. Korean woman did it again 

when Korean man fails.

Jin Young Ko has been dominant player in LPGA this year thus far.

She has been top threes all but one including 2 wins(1 major) in
6 games she has participated. With this record, she has led most
of important stats in LPGA including official money,Race to CME
Globe,scoring average,and player of the year just as A.Jutanugarn
did last year.

No doubt she will be challenging Rolex  World Ranking No 1 soon.
I like her swing as consistantly accurate and she has repeated
these swings as well as superb putting skill.

Thanks for your comment! Dr. 온!    KJ

KO PROJECTED TO MOVE TO TOP OF ROLEX RANKINGS

Following her major championship victory, Jin Young Ko is projected to move to No. 1 in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings when the rankings are officially released on Monday. Ko is projected to overtake Sung Hyun Park, who has held the top spot since March 4, 2019.

Following her third-place finish, Lexi Thompson is projected to move up three spots to No. 6 and reclaim the title of highest-ranked American on the Rolex Rankings, which Nelly Korda held for the previous two weeks.(from Internet)

The new Rules of Golf that have plagued some players on the PGA Tour hurt a player in the ANA Inspiration on Thursday.

Sei Young Kim took a 10 on the par-5 18th after hitting two shots into the water. But after one of the water shots, Kim dropped the ball from shoulder height, which was allowed before Jan. 1.

But since Jan. 1, players are supposed to drop from knee height. Because she didn’t catch the mistake before she hit her next shot, the mistake produced a one-shot penalty for Kim. The 10 was part of a 6-over 78.

Rickie Fowler has been critical of the new drop rule after he was hit with a one-shot penalty at the WGC-Mexico tournament.

“To me, we all want to grow the game,” Rickie Fowler said. “You’re not going to grow the game by making it look funny or making guys do unathletic things. You want to make it look cool. Ultimately we’re trying to bring more of a younger generation in, and when you have people making fun of something it doesn’t do the game any justice.”

I think it is ridiculous for the player who drops the ball at the shoulder height

to be penalized. Dropping the ball at the knee height is not much different from

placing the ball that can be advantageous to the ball on the fairway. I think the old 

rule is fairer than the new one. 

I agree with you gentlemen.

It is awkward and uncomfortable lookings when they
drop from knee level with their heights.  KJ

You are right! Dr.Lee!

New Rolex World Rankings were just announced and Jin Young Ko
