KLPGA: 2022 The 22nd Hite Jinro Championship (Major)

Nice hole out from the fairway by Hee Jeong Lim, otherwise her iron game play was off.
The golf tracker after each hole showed that on back nine, she missed four greens from fairway with middle irons.
Two in left bunker, one just short of left bunker and one short or the green.
However, her short game was good, and she only made one bogey.
She had one other bogey and two birdies, so a pretty good round.

Again, Min Ji Park looked like she was headed to the top with five birdies and three bogeys through eleven holes.
But she didn't make any more birdies even thou she had chances.
The way Hee Jeong ball striking is going I don't think that she can win.
So, I hope Min Ji wins so she can take over Player of The Year.

Congratulation to the most important golfer for the day Min Ji Park for her playoff win.
She didn't hit eighteen in two, but she also didn't hit the ball all over the golf course.
Minji didn't quite get to the top of Player of the year she trails Su Ji Kim by four points.
Su Ji Kim tried to give the Tournament to Minji in regulation by missing two short putts.
But Minji missed a very short putt on fifteen to drop to minus two.

Great solo ninth place finish for Hee Jeong Lim considering her tee to green game was off.
Her short game especially her putts to save par was really good.

A shout out to Jae Hee Kim three birdies back nine no bogeys for third place tie.
This is her best finish in a Major I believe.
I never saw a golfer that didn't win the Tournament as happy as Jae Hee was on eighteen.

I wonder if Min Ji Park is going to try the LPGA.
She really has accomplished about all she needs to on the KLPGA.
I have mixed feelings about her leaving the KLPGA for the LPGA.
Because I won't get to see her hardly any unless she is top three on the weekend.
But it's not about me it's all about what she wants for her Career.

 

Steve Stricker lost his Tour card and then came back & became a great champion after age 40. Hal Sutton said he was embarrassed to warm up on the range with the other pros. He finally turned it around. SHP can look to these players and Lazarus of Bethany for inspiration.
