로렉스 월드랭킹 1위 고진영선수(25)는 시즌 마지막대회인 CME Globe Tour Championship

에서 2위를 5타차로 따 돌리고 우승했다. 코로나때문에 이번 시즌 마지막 4대회만 참가했

어도 상금왕을 획득했다. 특히 지난 3일간의 세계랭킹 1,2위 선수들의 치열한 경쟁은 대회

를 더 흥미롭게 만들었다.

둘째날 고진영선수가 1타차로 앞서더니 셋째날은 김세영선수가 1타차로 앞섰다. 마지막날

전반까지 양선수가 팽팽하더니 11번홀에서 김세영선수의 드라브 실수로 승패가 갈리었다.

한때 많은선수들이 뒤에서 치고 올라와 1차타까지 접근했으나 고진영선수는 세계랭킹 1위

답게 침착하게 나머지를 잘 마무리해 우승했다.

금년 3년차인 고진영선수는 이번우승으로 LPGA 통산 7승(2 메이저)을 했다. 이번 공동 2위

로 김세영선수(27)는 박인비선수를 제치고 금년의 선수상을 획득했다. 이번 우승상금은 금

년대회 최고로 1.1 million dollar이다. 두선수에게 축하의 박수를 보낸다.   규정

JY Ko has become unbeatable and is a Tiger Wood figure in LPGA

with a long track record of being ranked number 1 player in the world.

Her game is too good to be true.

저도 오늘 TV로 관전을 하였는데  한인 낭자들이 어떻게 그리 골프를 잘치는지 감탄스러웠습니다. 고진영은 거의 완벽했고 김세영도 드라이브 하나를 나무밑으로 친것 빼고는 너무 잘 첬습니다.  BTS 와 더불어 한국의 위상을 한껏 높여 줍니다.

Ko Jin-young has a rock-solid game. Her golf swing is picture-perfect. 
Her flawless beautiful wing in white outfit presented on the TV screen 

is like looking at an artistic photo. The result is even better. The drives are in the 

middle of fairways and the second shots land on the green close to the pin. 
And she does not miss many putts that she is supposed to make. 
 

Kim Se-Young did not have her game today. Yesterday on the back 9, 

her draw shots began to leak to the right. It is probably because 

her left hip turns too quick to close the club face on time. In other 

words, the clubface is open at the impact. Then the ball starts to the right 

and goes further to the right. But it was fun to watch Korean duals are going 

at each other to win the tournament. 
 

She got 1.1 million today and I heard the commentator was saying she is

buying a house in Texas. Now, she can afford a mansion there.

I tell you one "true" story regarding Jin-Young Ko:

Due to the Covid problem, most Korean lady golfers returned to Korea.

One day this spring, the old Korean golf coach of J.Y. Ko (고덕호) invited her to a country club

for a game while both were videotaped.

Both had talked about the old days before Miss Ko had become the world No.1 player.

Then, it was time to tee off at the first hole.

(There was nobody else other than the video people)

고진영 said, "선생님께서 먼저 치시지요..." (한국관습은 고령자가 먼저 친다 or whatever.)

On that, the old Pro (고덕호) hit the tee shot, very long and beautiful for his age.

선생님의 golf swing을 보고나서, J.Y. Ko said, "선생님 그동안 많이 늘으셨네요 !! ㅎ, ㅎ, ㅎ."

The guy did not (probably could not) reply to his student's praise.

Hey, I am not kidding. You can find the video in my comment at the 4th video.

The early portion of the "above joke" seemes to have been removed there now.

I am adding  5 Youtube videos for teaching purposes below. What a swing she has!

The last two are "private lessons" for you by "the World No 1 champion!!"

Who the hell knew the ladies from hamlet nation in the north east Asia 

dominated the sports when a man invented the game of golf in St. Andrews 

in Scotland?! The game of golf is the first and only one thing from the west 

that Koreans utterly dominated since the birth of the nation created by Koreans

5000 years ago. You know what, it is only the beginning.

Here are couple more news about winner Jin Young Ko. KJ
