Four of the top five prize money rankings will not participate in the High1 Resort Women’s Open, a competition that ends the first half of the Korean Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) Tour this year.
Park Hyun-kyung, the top earner, chose to take a break, while Lee Ye-won, the second earner, Park Ji-young, and Hwang Yu-min, the fifth earner, will skip the championship to participate in the Evian Championship, an LPGA major tournament in France. Park Min-ji, the 10th earner in prize money, also decided to take a break from the championship.
Due to the absence of many top rankers, the organizers of the tournament must have thought a lot about how to organize the group.
First of all, it would be natural to pair defending champion Han Jin-seon, who is aiming for his third consecutive win at the championship, last week’s Lotte Open champion Lee Ga-young, who is aiming for his second consecutive win at the championship, and No. 4 in prize money, Noh Seung-hee, who is ranked the highest in prize money rankings. The three players will depart for Hole 1 at 12:24 p.m. on the first day of the championship, which will take place at High1 Resort in Jeongseon County, Gangwon Province on Sunday.
Probably, they had many thoughts about who and whom they should form the hottest Yoon In-a group. They might have thought about Bang Shin-sil, the No. 1 slugger. They also might have considered tying Choi Ye-rim as the runner-up at the Lotte Open last week after losing in overtime. Both of them have recorded three times in the number of runner-ups this year.
The organizers decided to group the top three players in this year’s prize money rankings, who have no wins. Yoon Na-na, who ranks sixth, Jeon Ye-sung, who ranks seventh, and Lee Je-young, who ranks eighth, are in the same group. Jeon Ye-sung and Lee Je-young are the runners-up twice this year. The three players will have their first shots on the 10th hole at 8:29 a.m.
Yoon Na-na, Jeon Ye-sung and Lee Je-young are not the only ones. The keyword of the tournament’s group without the top rankers in the prize money ranking was set as the prize money ranking.
Choi Ye-rim, who ranks ninth among the top 10 players in the prize money list, will play with Jeong Yoon-ji, ranking 11th, and Bang Shin-sil, ranking 13th. This group was formed by subtracting Park Min-ji, ranking 10th, and Lee Ga-young, ranking 12th. The three players will have a shot match at Hole 1 at 12:13 p.m.
Kim Jae-hee, ranking 14th, and Bae So-hyun, ranking 15th, were also grouped in the same group. However, the third partner is Lim Hee-jung, ranking 64th in the prize money list. Lim Hee-jung, who failed to make the cut eight times in 13 competitions in the first half of the year, ranked in the top 10 for the recent two competitions. The three players will start at Hole 10 at 8:18 a.m.토토사이트 모음
Lee Jung-min, ranking 16th in the prize money, did not participate, followed by Choi Min-kyung, ranking 17th in the prize money, Kim Su-ji, ranking 18th in the prize money, and Choi Eun-woo, ranking 19th in the prize money group. The three players will start at 12:02 p.m. on the first hole.
Kim Min-ju, the 20th place in the prize money, Kim Min-byul, the 21st place in the prize money, and Kim Min-sun, the 22nd place in the prize money, are in a group, and it is interesting that all three players have “Min” among their names.
The three players’ first day starts at 8:07 a.m. on the 10th hole.
