KLPGA: 2023 Nexen-SaintNine Masters

sports.news.naver.com/golf/news/read?oid=081&aid=0003355190
The Nexen Saint Nine seems to favor the long hitters at 6818 yards with wide fairways. 

Did some poking around the Internet regarding the four players with Nexen Group as their main sponsor ... I found no evidence of them playing the SaintNine golf ball ... I don't think there are ANY pros playing that ball, even though Nexen has made a pro-level/Urethane ball for at least ten years.  Didn't find any KLPGAers on the SaintNine website or IG ... let's see what kind of commercials they'll have on SBS Golf this week.  For now, it appears that Charlie Rymer's past endorsement of this product didn't make much headway in the ROK.

Hee Jeong Lim had another one of not that bad but not that good either rounds.
She just can't seem to take advantage of the few birdie opportunities that she has.
She will be just fine.

Min Byeol Kim had another great first round.
She had five birdies but a loose bogy on eighteen.
