Are So Yeon and In Gee the only two women to win the Japan, Korea and US Women's Opens? Did Sung Hyun Park win in Japan?

This is also the tournament where Ina Yoon had her infamous illegal wrong ball incident, the one that earned her the three-year suspension. This will be her first time playing here since that happened. I hope she can have a better week here than last time.
Min Byeol Kim lost this event in a playoff last year after her rival hit a superlative approach from a difficult lie. Just the way the breaks went for her last year.
Min Sol Kim was also in the hunt last year and finished top five. I assume she and Hyo Song Lee will be in the field this year.

So Yeon also won the Canadian Open, while In Gee came really close to winning the British.

2011 was the first time this Championship was 72 holes.
From 2014 - 2020 this was held at Bears Best Cheongla.
I wish they'd change the set up at Cheongla to make it a couple strokes harder especially for the Hana Financial Group Championship.
Since 2021 DB Group has sponsored this event and held it at their course Rainbow Hills.
I like Rainbow Hills since it was the first course I visited.
The course is very nice but there's some neglect in places. Other courses I've visited don't have any neglected areas. Blue Heron and Suwon for example are gorgeous EVERYWHERE!!
I don't know what Augusta National looks like but I can guess from some of the courses I've visited where everything seems perfect.

First cut will be 30mm.
Second cut will be 45-55mm.
Mild changes to 9th and 12th tees will make the course 30meters longer than last year.
The greens will be fast? 3.5
Fairway landing zones will average 20 to 25 meters wide. That seems smaller than I expected.

For "injury" reasons Park Minji is skipping this event.

I think they made the course more difficult after Park Minji and Im Hee Jeong destroyed the place so last year the winning score of 12-under was respectable.

Pretty lame. I couldn't find a reason. He does say Rainbow Hills has a lot of traps so long hitters struggle. |
