HOUSTON -- Tiger Woods, Jiyai Shin and Loren Roberts have been named 2009 Players of the Year by the Golf Writers Association of America. It is the first GWAA POY award for both Shin and Roberts. It is the 10th time in the last 13 years Woods has won the award. All three players will be honored at the GWAA's Annual Awards Dinner April 7, 2010 in Augusta, Ga. Woods received 84 percent of the vote (168 votes) to 10 percent for Steve Stricker (20) and six percent (13) for PGA Champion Y.E. Yang. Shin's margin was the narrowest .She received 52 percent of the vote (105) to 42 percent for Ochoa (85) and six percent (11) for Cristie Kerr. Roberts collected 55 percent of the vote (111) to 39 percent for Bernhard Langer (78) and five percent for Fred Funk (10). Voting for the GWAA the awards opened Nov. 24 and 48.75 percent of the ballots were cast before the news of Woods' automobile accident near his home in Florida broke at approx 2 p.m. CST Nov. 27.The balloting closed at midnight Dec. 11, the same night Woods announced in a statement he was taking an indefinite leave from the PGA TOUR. Woods admitted on his Web site that he had let his family down and was stepping away from competitive golf to work on saving his marriage and his family. Woods acknowledged in the statement "transgressions" that he said were not "true to my values."Woods underwent major knee surgery in June 2008 and came back to win six times on the PGA TOUR in 2009 and seven times overall. He also topped the money list for the ninth time and won his second FedExCup in three years. Shin won three times in 2009 and was the LPGA's Rookie of the Year. She lost the LPGA's Player of the Year award to Ochoa by just one point in a race that went down to the final round of the LPGA Tour Championship.Shin led the money list and was second in scoring average. Roberts won three times, including the Senior Open Championship at Sunningdale, and won the Charles Schwab Cup for the second time in three years. He finished second on the money list behind Langer, who won four times. |

Yes, it's a bit of surprise that Shin won against Ochoa.
The golf writers don't have to go by the exact numbers in the score.
And so often, an award is given in expectation of the future,
not necessarily according to what had happened.
(Just like the Nobel Prize given to Obama)
I am glad that the Golf Writers Association of America recognized it and decided for Shin.

Woods와 Roberts는 따논 당상이라 생각했고 신지애 선수가
오초아를 누루고 따낸것은 사실 pleasant surprise 였읍니다.
신지애 선수가 신인으로서 3승했고 '올해의 선수'경쟁에서도
마지막 putt으로 결정한것을 기자들이 감안한것 같습니다.
1998년 박세리 선수가 받은 이래 한국선수로서는 두번째 영광을
얻어낸 신지애 선수에게 박수를 보냅니다. 규정
