Lydia Ko (26, Hana Financial Group), ‘World’s No. 1 in Women’s Golf’, said that when she compared the life of a professional golfer to golf, it felt like she had just finished the 15th hole.
In a recent interview with the Maeil Business Newspaper, Lydia Ko said, “I finished the first nine holes in a good mood and safely passed the holes of Ma placed at the beginning and middle of the second nine holes.” I think I can achieve my goal,” he said with a laugh.
Lydia Ko, who has been in her 10th year since debuting on the LPGA Tour, has made numerous achievements in the history of women’s golf that cannot be left out. Lydia Ko, who reached the top of the CN Canadian Women’s Open on the LPGA Tour as an amateur in 2012 and 2013, continued to perform well after her professional debut. Including two majors, she won 19 career wins on the LPGA Tour and she won numerous titles, including Rookie of the Year and Player of the Year.
There are two things that keep Lydia Ko on the run, who is already successful as a professional golfer in her enough to be a role model for up-and-coming golfers. The first is her Hall of Fame induction and the second is her Olympic gold medal.
It’s not an easy task for her to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. 10+ years on the LPGA Tour, winning at least 1 major event, winning at least one Bear Trophy (lowest stroker)/Player of the Year, 27 points (2 major championships, 1 LPGA championship, Bear Trophy/This Year) 1 point) or higher, etc., the conditions for inclusion are difficult. Lydia Ko is currently preparing for her Hall of Fame induction.
Lydia Ko said, “I think the Hall of Fame is the final destination for any sports player. I think it’s a great honor because it’s not something anyone can name.” He is a lucky player. Just like he has done so far, he calmly tries to do his best in each tournament.”
Lydia Ko, a silver medalist at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics and a bronze medalist at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, is aiming for the 2024 Paris Olympics to be held next year. 토스카지노
Lydia Ko raised her voice, saying, “The Olympics is a special event that is held every four years. It is an honor to represent a country, so it is an honor to participate in it.”
Lydia Ko, who started playing golf at the age of 5 and has more than 20 years of experience this year, thinks, what is the charm of golf? He said, “It’s like a lover who has certain good times and bad times. Strangely, when I turn around in anger, I suddenly feel like wanting to do it. Golf is a sport that has the charm of pushing and pulling.” “I was really good at making golf fun the more I did it.” He added, “Contrary to what many people think, the life of a professional golfer is not glamorous and difficult, but I want to live as professional golfer Lydia Ko even if I am reborn.”
Lydia Ko, who married Jung Jun, the son of Hyundai Card Vice Chairman Chung Tae-young, last December, has a busy schedule this year as well. Lydia Ko, who won the Ladies European Tour (LET) Aramco Saudi Ladies International, where she participated for the first time in February after her marriage, is showing unchanging performance, such as a tie for 6th place with Honda Thailand. Four days from the 21st of this month, she also finished preparations for her first major championship, the Chevron Championship of the 2023 season, in Woodlands, Texas, USA.
Lydia Ko will begin her schedule this season in earnest, starting with the Chevron Championship. Lydia Ko said, “It feels good to win the first tournament this year. If I achieve the desired figures in the green hit rate and fairway landing rate, I will be able to achieve good results like last year.” I will do my best to make it a year,” he said.
