The long hit queen of Korea conquered the best stage of American women’s golf. Kim A-lim (25), who placed first in the Korean Women’s Professional Golf (KLPGA) Tour, was held at the Champions Golf Club (par 71) in Houston, Texas on the 15th (Korean time) at the US Women’s Professional Golf (LPGA) Tour Major Competition. By reducing 4 strokes in the final round, he won the final 3 under par 281 strokes. It is the 11th US Women’s Open as a Korean player. Kim A-rim is the 10th Korean player to win the US Women’s Open after Park In-bi (32) won twice. Following Lee Jung-eun (24) last year, it is also a Korean championship for the second year in a row. This is Kim Alim’s first US Women’s Open appearance. Alim Kim, ranked 94th in the world ranking, caught an unexpected opportunity to participate as the US Golf Association (USGA), who was unable to compete in the region due to the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) that hit the world this year, expanded his qualifications for the tournament. Previously, only four players, including the 2016 winner Jeon Inchi (26), competed in the US Women’s Open for the first time to win. It is the fifth Cinderella birth in 4 years. Alim Kim, who won two wins on the KLPGA Tour, won her third personal victory in the world’s best tournament since last year’s Moonyoung Queens Park Championship. Kim A-rim, who became a major queen at once, received a huge prize of $1 million (about 1.1 billion won) in the championship prize and qualified to play in the LPGA tour for five years from next year. The US Women’s Open can compete for 10 years. Few people expected Alim Kim to win the final round, which took place on Monday instead of Sunday due to bad weather. Alim Kim started the fourth round with a tie for ninth place, five strokes behind leader Hinako Shibuno (Japan). In the final round of the US Women’s Open, which marks the 75th this year, there has been no case of overturning the difference in at-bats by over 5 strokes. However, there were six players, including Anna Sorenstam (Sweden) in 1995. Kim A-lim was named on the list of winners of the US Women’s Open most at-bats. Alim Kim made the foundation for the reverse electrode with the 5th (par 5), 6th (par 4), and 8th hole (par 3) birdies. Kim A-rim, who was slow to see the 10th (par 4) and 11th (par 4) ball, struck a stormy birdie from the 16th to 18th holes and split the game. The 16th hole (par 3) 1m birdie followed by lead Amy Olsen (USA) by one stroke, and the 17th hole (par 4) with a span tap-in birdie, Kim A-rim, who was co-leader with a single-tap birdie, was 3m from the 18th hole (par 4). Finished the competition with a downhill buddy with the first hitting lead. Olson, who had been pursuing by one stroke, wrote down a look at the 16th hole (par 3), and Kim’s victory was closer. Olsen put his second shot into the bunker on hole 17 (par 4), effectively stiffening Kim’s victory. If the par was kept, but the 18th hole (par 4) Eagle, Alim Kim’s victory will be confirmed. After submitting the score card, Kim A-lim, who had been waiting for more than 30 minutes, was delighted to embrace his fellow players with cheers when the news of the winner was announced as the second shot of the 18th hole (par 4) Olsen fell 4 meters from the hole. Lee Jung-eun and Kim Ji-young (24) ran and sprinkled champagne. “I was disappointed with the third round. Today, seeing the tee box moved ahead, I felt confident. I made up my mind to shoot with a pin,” said Kim A-rim, “I’m so shocked. I knew that there would be a chance someday, but now I have white hair. I think you can feel it,” he said. World ranking No. 1 Ko Jin-young (25) hit 2 under par 69 strokes to reach 2nd place in the 1st stroke (2 under par 282), and the Korean player split the championship and runner-up. In the 18th hole (par 4), the long-range birdie putt of more than 10m pushed the ranking up to runner-up. On this day, Jin-young Ko dramatically won the qualification for the CME Group Tour Championship in the final match of the season. Olsen, who encountered the news that his father-in-law passed away two days ago, endured with a gloomy expression throughout the game, but could not cross the hurdle and ended the tournament in a tie for second place with Ko Jin-young. Olson, who tied 3 birdies and 4 bogies, hitting 1 over par 72, took comfort with the last 18 hole (par 4) birdie. Park In-bi pulled out five birdies and showed a back-heartedness of reducing three strokes, and was tied for 6th place (2 over par 286 shots), and defending champion Lee Jeong-eun (24) also secured face by taking a tie for 6th place with Park In-bi. Shibuno, who challenged to win the second major tournament following the British Women’s Open last year, lost 3 shots and was pushed to fourth place (1 under par 283 shots). Kim Ji-young, who took a tie for 3rd place by 3 strokes in the final round, hit a 9-over par 80 hitting a tie for 30th place (8 over par 292 shots), leaving a regret. yunhap news- .
