BMW Ladies Championship Participation
I ate Korean food with my family and friends
Have a special time and prepare for the competition
I'm done figuring out the Seowon Hills golf course
My ultimate goal is to become the world's No. 1 player
"Why are you pouring more than 100%?"
Players who have the right to participate in regular tours such as the LPGA Tour and the PGA Tour do not have much difference in their skills. This is also the reason why all the players on the roster of each tournament are considered as candidates for the championship. However, the players' joy and sorrow are mixed in their seemingly insignificant strategy. This is why the players agonize for a long time before taking a shot, as a single choice can lead to a big mistake.
There is a player famous for strategizing well on the LPGA Tour. It is Lee Min-ji, a Korean-Australian resident. With nine wins in his career, including two in the majors, he topped the AON Risk Rewards Challenge last year, earning a pleasant nickname as a strategist on the field.
Lee Min-ji is aiming to win her 10th career title at the LPGA Tour BMW Ladies Championship at Seowon Hills Course of Seowon Valley Country Club in Paju, Gyeonggi Province, for four days from the 19th. Lee Min-ji, who said she would not miss a special chance to play the LPGA Tour in front of her family and relatives once a year, is looking at her only goal of winning the championship.
Lee Min-ji said, "I have a great desire to win in front of my family, friends, and Korean golf fans. Maybe because there are not many opportunities like this, I don't want to miss it this year, he said. "Every time I come to Korea, I make fun memories by eating delicious food, and I think I will be happier if I achieve the valuable fruits of winning."
Lee Min-ji is one of the favorites to win this tournament. There is a definite reason. This is because he is a player who strategizes well in sophisticated shots and putts. Last year, she won $1 million in the LPGA Tour AON Risk Rewards Challenge and expressed her determination to completely conquer the Seowon Hills Course of Seowon Valley Country Club with Lee Min-ji's probability golf. The AON Risk Rewards Challenge, which started in 2019 and marks its fifth anniversary this year, is an event that adds up designated hole performances for each competition and ranks them after the end of the season.
Lee Min-ji said, "As each tournament is held at a different golf course, I keep thinking about what strategies to set up for each hole," adding, "What I pay most attention to is targeting tee shots and blowing them into the hole." Depending on how you hit the tee shot, the difficulty of the next shot puts a lot of effort into getting the first button of the decision."
The designated hall for the AON Risk Rewards Challenge was decided at Hole 17. The par-4 390-yard 17th hole has a characteristic that the method of attack varies depending on the teeing ground. Basically, if you play in a set teeing ground, you have to hit the pin with your second shot, just like any other par-4 hole. However, using the teeing ground located at the front, the total length is reduced to 257 yards, enabling one-on temperature.
Lee Min-ji said, "The method of targeting is completely different depending on which teeing ground you play. If you use the front teeing ground, you can directly aim for the driver or the green with the third wood, he said. "I'm trying to make the choice with the highest probability of birdie depending on the weather in each round. "If the wind blows toward the green, we may choose a strategy to target the green at once," he explained.
Lee Min-ji is most wary of bunkers and greens on the 17th hole. "You shouldn't send the ball to the bunker around the fairway and the green. It is difficult to take the next shot because the bunker has a high chin and a slope, he said. "In the case of the green, it is important not to leave a downhill slope as it is large and has a severe slope." "I will set up a good strategy and make as many birdies as possible during the four days of this tournament," he said.
There is also a special helper who helped analyze the golf course of this tournament. Brad Beecher (Australia), a caddie who collaborated to win the Kroger Queen City Championship last month, also served as a caddie for Park In-bee. Lee Min-ji said, "In general, caddies look around the golf course first and then talk about strategies on how to play," adding, "I have set up a clear strategy with my caddie in this tournament."
Lee Min-ji, who has established herself as one of the leading players by showing consistent performance on the LPGA Tour, also expressed her ambition to rise to No. 1 in the world ranking of Rolex women's golf. Lee Min-ji said, "I spend a lot of time on the practice field to become the world's No. 1," vowing, "I will not stop trying until I become the best in the world." 토토사이트
He also expressed his desire to climb to the top of the AON Risk Rewards Challenge once again. "I think it means a lot for AON to support the LPGA Tour. Winning the AON Risk Rewards Challenge last year was one of the most memorable, he said. "It's really special to receive the same amount as the winner of the PGA Tour AON Risk Rewards Challenge."
