신지애 선수가 LPGA가 없는 시간에 한국에 돌아와 KLPGA major의
하나인 KLPGA Championship에서 스코아 -12로 wire to wire 승리를
하여 22세의 최연소로 KLPGA 명예전당에 가입 선수생활 10년이 되는
2015년에 명예전당에 입성하게 된다.

신지애 선수는 구옥희, 박세리 선수에 이어 3번째 선수가 되는셈이다.
이번 우승으로 Rolex ranking에도 도움이 되리라 생각된다.

우승한 신지애 선수에게 축하를 보낸다.  규정

Does anyone have any idea about Shin's qualification for "Hall Of Fame" of LPGA?
maybe, Shin has notplayed more than 10 years yet.
Ochoa will be qualified in 2012.

How do LPGA Tour golfers qualify for the Hall of Fame?

Unlike the male members of the World Golf Hall of Fame,
LPGA golfers are not voted into the hall (with the
exception of those selected by a Veterans Committee).

LPGA golfers earn entry by piling up points throughout
their careers, and by meeting the points threshold.
That threshold is 27 points.
So, how does an LPGA golfer earn those points? It's simple:

•A victory in an LPGA major is worth 2 points
•A win in a non-major LPGA Tour event is worth 1 point
•Winning the Vare Trophy (low scoring average) is worth 1 point
•Winning the Player of the Year award is worth 1 point
When a golfer has earned 27 points based on the criteria above,
she becomes eligible for the World Golf Hall of Fame. The only
other hurdle to clear is one of time-of-service. If a golfer gets
to 27 points and has already put in 10 years on tour, she goes
into the hall of fame during its next induction ceremony.
If, however, the golfer has been on tour for fewer than 10 years,
she must wait until she reaches that 10-year requirement before
being inducted.

Annika Sorenstam, Karrie Webb, Se Ri Pak and Lorena Ochoa all
reached 27 points before the 10-year mark, and had to wait for induction.

신지애선수는 LPGA 2년차 선수로 1 major(British Open)를 포함해
통산 7승했으니 8점을 획득한 상태이니 LPGA Hall of Fame에는
아직 멀었지요.  규정

Congratulations, Shin Ji-yai !
But I miss Anikka (Sorenstam).

신지애 선수는 KLPGA에서 20승을 거두고 필요한 100 point를
넘겨 KLPGA 명예전당에 22세의 나이로 입성했고 이번 상금
전액 1억 4천만원을 charity에 기부한다는 소식입니다. 기특한
일입니다.  규정

I hope she does donate what she promised,
not like so-called DJ.
