Hur becomes Rolex First-Time Winner NORTH PLAINS, Ore. - LPGA Tour rookie player M.J. Hur became the season's fourth Rolex First-Time Winner at the Safeway Classic Presented by Coca-Cola, beating out a pair of LPGA veterans, Suzann Pettersen and Michele Redman. Hur, a player out of South Korea, fired a career-low 65 in the final round of the three-day event to claim her first ever LPGA victory, and the $255,000 winner's paycheck. Hur (69-69-65=203, -13) arrived at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club's Ghost Creek course Sunday morning four strokes back from the lead. After taking advantage of the day's near-perfect conditions, she recorded the round of her career with an eagle on the par-5, 495-yard 10th hole, and birdies on numbers eight, nine, 11, 12 and 14. Once she finished and signed her scorecard, Hur wasn't sure if she was done for the day quite yet. Turned out she was called back to the 18th tee, along with Pettersen (68-68-67=203, -13) and Redman (67-69-67=203, -13), for a playoff. Hur and Pettersen both saved par on the first playoff hole, while Redman bogeyed, ending her run, and settling for no worse second-place. Once the South Korean, Hur, and the Norwegian, Pettersen, traveled back to the 17th tee to settle this thing once and for all, Hur was left standing in the winner's circle with a big smile on her face. "It was my goal this year (to win) because I working really hard last winter training with my swing coach," said Hur. "It makes me really, really happy. It helped me a lot." Before joining the LPGA Tour at the beginning of this season, Hur competed on the Duramed FUTURES Tour in 2008, competing in 17 events and finishing in the top-10 eight times, including a win at the Louisiana Pelican Classic. Finishing fourth on the season-ending money list, she earned membership for the 2009 LPGA Tour season. |

골프에서 한국선수들의 우승으로 겹경사가 난날입니다.
허미정 선수는 TV로 보았는데 경기후반에 짧은 putt을
두번이나 miss해서 불안했었는데 연장전 2번째 홀에서
귀중한 버디를 낚아채어 우승하였읍니다.
허미정 선수는 우리에게 그리 알려지지 않은 선수인데
이것만 보아도 LPGA에서 한인낭자들의 depth를 알수
있는 좋은 예라고 생각합니다.
안병훈 선수는 Tiger Woods나 Danny Lee를 제치고
17살이라는 최연소 USGA 아마추어 우승의 기록을
깬 선수이고 부모가 우리가 다아는 국가대표 탁구 선수
였던 만큼 피는 못속이는 듯하며 앞으로 대성을 기대해
봅니다.
두선수에게 기쁜 마음으로 박수를 보냅니다. 규정

The $225,000 paycheck for the winner is a bit meager,
but they say the honor of being the winner is more valuable than anything else.
I thank her for her hard work and effort.
I hope she makes a good use of the prize and the priviledge she won today
in order to pursue her ambition further down the rough road of the competitive golf.
With our best wishes for her progress....
