AHN GAN-HIM ESCAPES ‘ODD YEAR JINX’ TO SHARE LEAD IN DOOSAN WEAVE 1R

With six career wins on the Korean Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) Tour, Lee So-young is not a fan of odd-numbered years .All six of her wins have come in even-numbered 카지노사이트 years, and odd-numbered years have somehow eluded her. This year, Lee is trying to break the odd year jinx .After finishing in the top four in each of her first three events, including a runner-up finish in the season opener, Lee has been consistently in contention for wins, including a tie for fourth at the KLPGA Championship, third at the Lotte Open, tied for fifth at the McCall-Mona Yongpyong Open and tied for third at the Jeju Samdasoo Masters .Lee shot a 6-under 66 in the first round of the KLPGA Tour’s Doosan E&C Weave Championship ($1.2 billion in prize money) at Teddy Valley Golf & Resort (Par 72) in Seogwipo, Jeju Island, on Nov. 11.Lee, who is tied for the lead with Jeon Ye-sung, has led on the first day of two consecutive tournaments following the Jeju Samdasu Masters seven days ago .”If I keep knocking on the door, it will open,” said Lee, who was unable to hold onto the lead at the Jeju Samdasu Masters and finished tied for third. Lee’s shot accuracy has been among the best on the KLPGA Tour this year, as evidenced by her second-best greens in regulation (76.24%) prior to this event. The transition from the teeing area to the green is as seamless as any, but Lee’s inability to cut down on her strokes on the green has been a hindrance to her championship hopes .On this day, however, she did most of her damage with putts .After starting the day on the 10th hole, Lee drained a 15-meter birdie putt on the 14th (par-3).She followed that up with an 8-meter birdie putt on the 15th (par-5).A bad tee shot on the 16th (par-4) cost him a stroke, but he made four straight birdie putts on holes 2 through 5.He had birdie chances to within two meters of the hole at No. 2 (par-4) and No. 4 (par-5), and sank birdie putts from four and five meters at No. 3 (par-3) and No. 5 (par-4).On the ninth (par-4), she dropped a birdie putt of more than 10 meters.” The greens were a little slower because of the rain, so I was a little more aggressive with my long putts and it paid off,” said Lee, who also missed a few short birdie putts today.” I was a little shaky in the first half because it was my first time playing the course,” said Lee, who added, “It’s important to keep your tee shots in the fairway. The course is not too difficult, so I think I need to cut a lot of strokes tomorrow to be in contention for the title. “Jeon, who will be looking to make it two wins in a row after winning her first career title at the Ever Collagen Queen’s Crown in 2021, carded five birdies and a bogey on the 18th hole (par-4) for a 6-under 66.On the 18th hole, she hit a 7-iron from 151 yards and it sank into the hole .Jeon said, “I’ve been practicing a lot lately. I was worried because I couldn’t feel my shots until yesterday, but it went well today. Of course, there were some things I was disappointed with, but I’m satisfied.” “I will try not to miss the fairways and greens on the remaining two days. If I stay focused like I did today and play confidently with a positive attitude, I think I can produce good results. “Kim Hae-rim and Jeong Ji-min followed at 5-under 67.Hwang Yoo-min, who became the first rookie to 카지노사이트 win the Daewoo Women’s Open last month, shot a 4-under 68 and is tied for sixth .Im Jin-hee, who is looking to win for the second week in a row following the Samdasu Masters in Jeju, is three shots back in a tie for 12th at 3-under 69.Money list leader Park Ji-young fired a 2-under 70 to finish in a tie for 23rd place. Minji Park, playing for the first time in the second half of the year, finished the first day at even-par 72 and tied for 55th.
