Sports Counting Down LPGA Tour's 14 top stories in 2014: No. 14
2014.12.22 01:49
 LPGA.com counts down to the end of 2014 with the LPGA Tour's top 14 stories of the year. Join us as we look back at the year's most memorable milestones. Read about the depth in the winner’s circle in Story No. 14. If 2013 was the year of Inbee Park after her six win season, 2014 was surely the year of parity and youth. With each season on the LPGA Tour, the depth in talent improves as the game becomes more and more global, and 2014 was a showcase of the depth and influx of new young talent on the LPGA Tour. More than any season in recent memory, winners were unpredictable on the LPGA Tour in 2014. There were surely the usual suspects. World No. 1 Inbee Park, Rolex Player of the Year Stacy Lewis and Race to the CME Globe champion Lydia Ko all tied for the Tour lead with three wins each. 41-time winner Karrie Webb won two of the first five tournaments for the 10th season of her career with multiple wins. Anna Nordqvist added herself to the multiple win category early in 2014, too, with wins in two of the season’s first six tournaments. Jessica Korda and Mirim Lee each put up two wins, and Michelle Wie would go on to double her career win output with two of her four career wins coming in 2014. In total, eight players would end up making more than one trip into the winner’s circle. Overall, 11 of the top 12 players in the Rolex World Golf Rankings won in 2014. The only one among that top 12 who didn’t was Suzann Pettersen, who had won four times in 2013. But sandwiched around the multiple wins from the game’s elite were a host of Rolex First-Time Winners – eight, to be exact. Four of the five major champions were first-time major champs. This 2014 group of winners looks like a formidable group for years to come as well. Two rookies won multiple times – Ko and Lee – and every winner but four in 2014 were under the age of 30. Five different winners were 21 or less. If 2014 is a sign of things to come in 2015, the coming LPGA Tour season is sure to once again be the type of unpredictable story that’s impossible to turn off. |

2013년이 박인비 선수의 독주였던 반면에 2014년은 세계랭킹1위 박인비,
올해의선수 Stacy Lewis,그리고 제일 큰상금을 거머쥔(CME Globe) Lydia Ko
등이 각각 3승으로 호각을 이루었고 2승선수만해도 8명 그리고 1승도 8명
이나된 어찌보면 군웅활거의 해였다고 생각됩니다.Fan들의 인기면에서도 초반 미국선수들이 독주한반면 후반 한인선수들이
활약이 돋보였으며 월드 No 1자리도 박인비-Stacy Lewis-박인비로 바뀌었고
올해의 선수상도 마지막 경기까지 결정 못짖는 박빙의 승부였습니다.Michelle Wie선수의 오랫동안 이루지못한 major도 US Open을 우승함으로
breakthrough하여 그기세로 2승을 이루어냈으며 오랜 우승고갈로 고전하던
fan favorite Paula Creamer의 75ft long putt성공으로의 극적인 playoff 우승은
LPGA 흥행면에서도 빼놀수 없는 event 였다고 생각합니다.
끝으로 신인왕에서도 보통 신인이 2승을 하면 신인왕은 따논 당상 이건만
불행하게도 이미림 선수는 Lydia Ko라는 천재 십대 골퍼를 만나 공명-주유격
의 안타까움을 금치 못한 happening도 있은 한해였다고 생각합니다.내년 LPGA 신인 경쟁은 김효주,백규정,이민지등 Seri Kids II?의 대거 등장
으로 더 흥미를 자아내고 있습니다. 규정
금년 한해도 골프를 좋아하는 우리들은 한인 낭자들의 큰 활약으로
LPGA 를 TV로 나마 즐겼다고 생각합니다.
Comissioner Whan이 취임후 LPGA는 승승장구 아시아는 물론 유롭,호주등
그세를 확장하여 이제 LPGA가 미국 여자골프대회뿐만 아닌 global event로
발돋음했습니다.
lpga.com에서는 해가 저무는 즈음에 LPGA top 14 events를 14번째부터 시작
해서 내놓고 있어 여기에 옮길려합니다. 지난몇일 바뿐일로 시작을 좀늦게해서
연말에 1st sttory를 맞출려고 다음 몇일은 오전 오후로 내놓을려고 합니다. 규정
