The Dongbu Construction and Korea Land Trust Championship (total prize money of 1 billion won) of the KLPGA Tour, which will take place at Iksan Country Club (par 72) in Iksan, North Jeolla Province for four days from Thursday, is a battleground. It is a variant stableford competition that is the only competition in the KLPGA tour. Rankings are determined by scores, not by pars. The player with eight points for albatross, five points for eagle, two points for birdies, one point for bogey, and three points for double bogey or higher is -3. The player who gets more birdies is advantageous. He is expected to display aggressive play.
“Buddy Queen” Yoon Na-na is a strong contender. She has garnered 4.138 birdies per round. She also ranks first with a birdie rate of 22.99 percent. She also has three eagles, ranking second after Yoo Hyun-jo with four. She only garnered one win at the Samdasoo Masters in August. However, she ranks first in prize money (1.136 million won or 11.05 U.S. dollars), first in average at-bats (70.05), and second in grand prize points (485 points) by garnering 12 “top 10” awards. She is also ranked 32nd, the best among KLPGA tour players. 메이저사이트
Yoon is spearheading her tour by ranking third in driving distance (253.42 yards) on average and second in green accuracy ratio (78.46 percent). She also shares the third place at last week’s Hite Jinro Championship, a major competition, displaying good pace. If she wins this championship, she is expected to become a multi-crowned king.
Park has garnered three wins this year. She ranks first in the grand prize points (487 points). She ranks second in prize money (1.07 billion won or 893,528 dollars) and third in average at-bats (70.27 dollars). Most of all, she garnered an average of 3.945 birdies per round. She is from Iksan. Iksan Country Club is a tight-knit club. Her father, Park Se-soo, who caddies for Park, has been a head pro at the Iksan Country Club for a long time. Moreover, Korea Land Trust, the host of the event, is Park’s main sponsor. Park aims to secure the top spot with four wins in this season.
“This championship is always special. Iksan Country Club is like my hometown, so I want to do better than anyone else,” Park said. “Since the green is a small course, accurate iron shots and putts are important. We need to make more birdies. We plan to read the green carefully and make bold plays.”
