Lee Ye-won, No. 1 Korean Women's Golf, 3rd year's resolution to improve iron shot – intensive training to strengthen physical strength “I will properly show the ‘small ceremony' that I am most greedy for at the KB Financial-Hite Jinro competition.
Lee Ye-won, who won three Korea Ladies Professional Golf (KLPGA) Tour titles last year (grand prize, money winner, and lowest number of strokes), has set a goal of winning the most wins this season. Lee Ye-won is putting a lot of effort into iron shot training, which has been pointed out as a weakness ahead of the season opening (March).

“I achieved something last year that I thought I would have to run for two or three more years to achieve. “But I’m still hungry.” 바카라사이트
Lee Ye-won (21), the 2022 Korea Ladies Professional Golf (KLPGA) Tour Rookie of the Year, won three awards, including the grand prize money winner and the lowest number of strokes last year. In doing so, she became the fifth player in the history of the KLPGA Tour to win the Rookie of the Year Award and to record three or more gold medals in the following year, following prominent seniors such as Shin Ji-ae, Kim Hyo-joo, Lee Jeong-eun, and Choi Hye-jin. Lee Ye-won also pushed out Park Min-ji on December 18 last year and rose to first place in the ‘K Ranking' (KLPGA Tour's own ranking system). Park Min-ji is a player who has held the No. 1 spot in the K rankings for 134 weeks.
Yewon Lee said, “I didn’t even know I would be this good. “At this time last year, I was very worried that I might suffer from the second-year jinx,” he said. “I practiced a lot assuming various trouble situations ahead of the season opening. “Thanks to that, my ‘recovery’ (recording a par in a situation where the ball cannot be hit on the green within the required number of strokes) improved and I think I was able to receive a satisfactory report card,” he said. Yewon Lee had a recovery rate of 65% (4th) in her last season.
Lee Ye-won, who is entering her third year on the KLPGA Tour,'s goal this year is to win the most wins in addition to her three wins last season. Yewon Lee won her first KLPGA Tour debut at the Lotte Rent-a-Car Women's Open last year and also reached the top of the Doosan Construction Weave Championship and Hite Jinro Championship. However, she was pushed by Lim Jin-hee (4 wins) and had to be satisfied with 2nd place in most wins.
Yewon Lee said, “It is my biggest regret to miss out on winning the KB Financial Star Championship, which is her main sponsor competition. “She started the final day of competition 2 under par, but ended up tied for 2nd at 1 over par,” she said. . Yewon Lee, who is training in Sydney, Australia, is concentrating on refining her iron shots. She also dedicates two days a week to improving her fitness.
“The only thing she had in her technical index last season was her iron shot rate, which was not very good. This season, she wants to be number one,” she said. Her iron shot percentage refers to the percentage of her total iron shots she sent to the green. Yewon Lee's 77.9% iron shot percentage last season ranked 16th among tour players. She said Lee Ye-won said, “Of course, I also practice driving. “As her distance increases, she sees that she has an advantage in navigating the course, so she is trying to increase her head speed by stepping hard and practicing empty swings,” she said.
The competitions I am most eager to win in the new season are the KB Financial Star Championship and the Hite Jinro Championship, which I missed last year. Yewon Lee said, “The Hite Jinro Championship is the first major competition I won since my debut, so I want to defend my title.” The Hite Jinro Championship, the last major tournament of the KLPGA Tour season, is famous for the ‘Champion Ceremony' in which the player who takes first place drinks ‘wheat bomb liquor' with the winning cup. Yewon Lee said, “I feel regretful that I didn’t have a proper ceremony when I won last year. “I think I’ll be able to drink better this year with less foam,” he said with a smile.
Yewon Lee will participate in the Lotte Championship of the LPGA Tour this year as the winner of last year's KLPGA Tour Lotte Rent-a-Car Women's Open. Yewon Lee said, “My dream is to advance to the LPGA Tour someday, but I haven’t decided on a time to challenge because I don’t know the atmosphere of the American stage well.” She added, “I want to test my skills as I got a good opportunity this year.” 카지노사이트존
