Sports LPGA -In Gee Chun fails at the Final Playoff
2022.08.07 19:21
전인지, 아깝게도 LPGA AIG Women's Open Final Playoff에서 지다
Chun’s Sunday at the AIG Women’s Open. Having recorded a 1-under 70 in the final 18 holes, Chun landed herself into a playoff against 54-hole leader Ashleigh Buhai after starting the day five strokes back of the lead. Chun went par-bogey-par in the first three extra holes, and resorted back to the 18th tee afterwards as was the protocol. A tee shot into the right-hand fairway bunker was her ultimate undoing, as Buhai went on to par after striping it down the fairway to win her maiden title, outlasting Chun’s bogey.
Though not “happy happy,” Chun was still proud of her major season and final day of effort on the links, one that included her first title since 2018 at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship this past June at Congressional Country Club.
The runner-up performance is her best result in the major, and her third top-10 finish in now eight appearances at the AIG Women’s Open. Chun, who will next appear at the CP Women’s Open, did have some takeaways from her experience at Muirfield for next year at Walton Heath.

In-Gee Chun had been strong in Major tournaments.She had won three majors in LPGA(US Open, Evian Championship,and KPMG Women's PGA Championship), 3 majors in KLPGA, and2 majors in JLPGA. Because of this reason, they call her 'Major Queen'.However, she has had poor results in playoffs, with no win in 4 trials thus far.I am sure she had extra pressure this time because of her potential 'careerGrand slam win' at stake.

Her takeaway from AIG Open is about $640,000, not bad for an LPGA at second place.
LPGA purses seem to be increasing. After the tax and caddy fee, it would be about $400,000 (?).
Hoping for the best for her...

With this second place in the major, In Gee Chunhas got in the top 10 in Rolex World rankings. It hasbeen 4years and 5 months since the last top 10.
There is a golden rule in golf; The most important shot in golf is the
next shot. Both Buhai and Kim won despite Buhai's triple bogey in the 15th
hole on Sunday and Kim's quad at the gate on Thursday. It is a good thing they
had a short memory. It was the Buhai's tournament to lose from the beginning on Sunday
rather than Chun's to win. Buhai endured the relentless challenge of the golf course
and the weather.
