Challenge the Career Grand Slam.
Jeon In-ji (29, KB Financial Group) is going to the first major tournament of the season. For four days from the 21st, she will participate in the Chevron Championship (total prize money of 5.1 million dollars), a major LPGA tour event held at The Club at Carleton Woods (par 72, 6824 yards) in Woodland near Houston, Texas.
The Chevron Championship marks the beginning of one of the five major women’s golf tournaments. It went through names such as the Kraft Nabisco Championship and ANA Inspiration. Until last year, it was held at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, California, but this year it will be moved to Texas. 토스카지노
It is an important stage. Jeon In-ji’s career grand slam is at stake. Women’s golf is recognized as a career grand slam when it wins four out of the five major tournaments. If all five are swept, it is called a Super Grand Slam. There are seven career grand slams in women’s golf history. Mickey Wright, Louis Suggs, Julie Inkster, Pat Bradley (both US) and Carrie Webb (Australia). Annika Sorenstam (Sweden) and Inbee Park (35, KB Financial Group). Among them, Web is the only Super Grand Slam.
Jeon In-ji is currently recording three major championship victories. In 2015, as a non-member, she stunned the golf world by winning the US Women’s Open. The following year, in 2016, she reached the top of the Evian Championship. At the time, she also set a new record for the fewest strokes (263 strokes) in all major tournaments. She won the Women’s PGA Championship last year. Last year, she challenged her record at the British Open, but it was unfortunately broken. After a close match that went to extra time, she ended up as runner-up. This year she once again put up her gauntlet.
It’s not easy. As always, a large number of top rankers are on the way. All of the top 20 players in the women’s professional golf world ranking announced on the 18th will participate. Korean players also scrambled to vote. Above all, Jeon In-ji’s condition is not 100%. She failed to finish in the top 10 in all five LPGA Tour events she participated in this year. She didn’t even finish her last 2 competitions. She is not complete in the aftermath of her back injury. However, since she has shown a strong side in big tournaments, she is interested in whether she can win her title in this tournament.
