All 4 major tournaments in professional golf Conquering the ‘Career Grand Slam’ is a dream that every player wants to achieve. However, it is a great record that is difficult to achieve unless good skills are maintained consistently. Although Korean players are making great strides on the LPGA tour, the fact that the only player who has achieved the Career Grand Slam is Park In-bi (35, KB Financial Group), the ‘Empress of Golf’, proves this.
‘Major Queen’ Jeon In-ji (29, KB Financial Group) will open on the 20th (local time) at The Club Carleton Woods (par 72, 6824 yards) in Woodlands, Texas, USA, at the Chevron Championship (total prize money of 5.1 million dollars), the first major tournament of the season. Russia) and challenge the Career Grand Slam. There are a total of five major women’s golf tournaments, following this one, the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship in June, the US Women’s Open and Evian Championship in July, and the AIG Women’s Open in August. On the LPGA Tour, winning four of these events is recognized as a Career Grand Slam. Jeon In-ji shows a particularly strong side to the majors, to the extent that she has won 3 out of 4 wins in her career in major tournaments. He won the 2015 US Open, the 2016 Evian Championship, and last year’s KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. Therefore, collecting one more trophy from the remaining two competitions will complete the puzzle of the Career Grand Slam.
However, the flow of Jeon In-ji this season is not good. He participated in five competitions this year and tied for 27th, 24th, and 48th in the first three competitions. She also withdrew from the LA Open and failed to make a cut at the Lotte Championship last week. However, even if Jeon In-ji is sluggish, it raises expectations in that he will be thrilled when he participates in major tournaments. In fact, Jeon In-ji recorded very poor results, tied for 72nd and 67th in the two tournaments held just before the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship last year, but rebounded vertically and even won the championship within a week.
Ko Jin-young (28, Solaire), completely freed from the aftermath of the wrist injury, is burning his will to achieve 15 major victories in his career. World No. 3 Jinyoung Ko has been unable to add a major win after winning two majors at this event and the Evian Championship in 2019. He participated in 4 competitions this season and finished 6th – won – 5th. He prepared for this tournament by skipping the Lotte Championship last week to check his shots after finishing 25th at the LA Open and slipping out of the top 10. Ko Jin-young’s iron shot is his main weapon to the extent that he ranks first in the green hit rate (79.51%). 카지노사이트
The variable is that as it is the first major tournament of the season, the top rankers are all out. Korean New Zealander Lydia Ko (26, Hana Financial Group), the world’s No. 1 player, is challenging to regain supremacy in the tournament for the first time in seven years since 2016. World No. 2 Nellie Corda (25, USA) is aiming for two major wins following the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship in June 2021.
The Chevron Championship was held under the name of ANA Inspiration until 2021, and was famous for the winning ceremony in which the winner jumped into the ‘Poppy Pond’ near the 18th hole with a caddy. However, as the title sponsor changed last year, the name of the tournament was also changed, and this year, even the time and location of the event were changed.
