‘Recommended player → Sole leader in 1st round’ Lee Da-yeon
Lee Da-yeon is cruising along with 2 wins in the 2023 season. He is one of the key players with a total of 8 wins on tour.
However, the final match of the 2023 KLPGA (Korea Women's Professional Golf) Tour season, SK Shielders-SK Telecom Championship 2023 (total prize money of KRW 1 billion/winner's prize), started on the 10th at Ravie Belle Country Club (par 72/6,805 yards) located in Chuncheon, Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province. 200 million won), Da-yeon Lee is competing as a recommended player.
This is because Lee Da-yeon clicked the wrong button when canceling her participation in the competition. Accordingly, Lee Da-yeon's records are not reflected in the prize money rankings and number of competitions she participates in. However, records such as target points and average at-bats are reflected. If he wins, it will be his third win of the season and he can become tied for most wins.
Lee Da-yeon showed outstanding game management by catching 6 birdies without making any bogeys. He is the sole leader with 6 under par 66 strokes. Of the 77 players who played that day, only 4 were under par. He played in difficult conditions, including cold weather and wind.
Lee Da-yeon said, "I'm glad the game went well. The weather was cold, so I put it down and played, and I think it went even better."
He added, "I felt good putting today. Since I was no longer afraid of putting, I was able to attack difficult holes well in the second half."
Lee Da-yeon said, “I want to show a good performance as it is the final game of the season.” At the same time, he said, "It was my fault for appearing as a recommended player. I clicked wrong when the competition was canceled. Of course, I came out as a recommended player, but I am still playing with a grateful heart."
Following Da-yeon Lee, Jin-hee Lim was in second place with a 5-under-par 67, one stroke away from the lead, while So-i Jeong was in third place and Shin-sil Bang was in fourth place.
Six people, including Park Do-eun, Hwang Yu-min, Park Joo-young, Lee So-mi, Choi Ye-rim, and Kim Min-ju, begin the second round in a tie for 5th place.
Meanwhile, defending champion Park Min-ji, who took a three-week break due to neuralgia, scored an 11-over-par 83 and ranked 77th, last among 77 participating players.
Seong Yu-jin, who was a lucky winner in last week's competition, did not participate due to ankle pain.
The second round will be held in a semi-shot format due to worsening weather conditions. Accordingly, the first group departs at 10:40 am.
