Grace was commentating... I'd recognize her voice a mile away, even speaking Korean!
At one point yesterday, the most searched sports stories were:
#2: Bo Mee Lee #3: Ji Hyun Oh pro #5: KLPGA #6: Sung Hyun Park #9: Lydia Ko
Golf is kind of popular there (although #1 was a soccer story).
Another funny tidbit. I saw an article which nicknamed the amateur Seong "Kwoimool". This is a popular nickname for an imposing athlete (there have been baseball sluggers with that nickname) and roughly translates as Creature or Beast. She does seem to be tall (same as In Gee, 5'9") and imposing, kind of the next level of Sung Hyun Park from the Korean petri dish.

Thx I mute my streams....but I saw a pic of her in the background, so I figured she was commentating.
IMG runs the Asia swing events...they are block heads too...I rather hear Grace talking thah those Aussie's with their "Tiger line or Creikie" crap stuff....lol.
Ya...I'd say Seong is a beast.
Yup Dumbo is tall....but she's too sweet....so she's not imposing.....LUV Dumbo!!!

I rather think that Grace will stick to doing the KLPGA on SBS Golf part time, at least for the time being, as her undisputed #1 priority is raising her daughter. That would be the same reason why we'll not be seeing her doing commentary in English even during the Asian Swing and most certainly not on this side of the Pacific any time soon.

Let me just say, in case it wasn't clear, that the nickname Beast is not meant to be an insult to Seong. It means she comes across as capable of dominating in the way a big slugger or top notch football play can (Beast mode, if you will). That nuance may not have been clear before.
