It’s not easy to secure a spot in the Olympics

On the 25th (Korean time), the 12th hole (par 4) at Palos Verdes GC, California, USA. Shin Ji-ae's (36) second shot, hit in a strong wind, went well over the green. She attempted to go on green with her approach, but it was rather short, leaving a formidable distance. In addition, he missed a short putt and holed out with 3 putts, resulting in a double bogey.

Ji-ae Shin missed out on winning the LPGA Tour after being caught up in her double bogey. Shin Ji-ae lost two strokes in the final round of the Furhills Pak Se-ri Championship held on this day and tied for 5th place with a final total of 7 under par 277 strokes. She was two strokes behind winner Nelly Korda (USA, 9 under par, 275 strokes).

This year, Shin Ji-ae has placed her qualifications for the Paris Olympics at the center of all her tour activities. In women's golf at the Olympics, two tickets are given to each country, and up to four players per country can participate within the top 15 in the world rankings. Shin Ji-ae, currently ranked 18th in the world, is expanding her stage to the LPGA Tour and the Women's European Golf (LET) Tour to build up her ranking points.

This tournament was hosted by Se-Ri Pak, a pioneer with a total of 25 wins on the LPGA Tour. This is the first time that a Korean player's name has been included in the title of a tournament on the LPGA Tour. Shin Ji-ae participated in this competition as an invited player at Se-ri Pak's direct request. As he rose to the joint lead in the third round, attention focused on whether the representative of the 'Seri Kids', who started playing golf after seeing Se-ri Pak's performance, could become the first champion.

The biggest variable in the game that day was the strong wind. The strong wind that blew throughout the course throughout the game acted as a negative factor in the players' ability to make accurate shots. Shin Ji-ae also had to deal with a difficult game from the beginning. She lost strokes on the first two holes with back-to-back bogeys, but she bounced back with two birdies of her own. By midway through the match, she was tied for the lead with Allison Lee (USA) and Koda, but a double bogey on the 12th hole was painful. Ji-ae Shin, who lost her first two strokes and then lost two strokes, was unable to improve her ranking, only paring all six of her remaining holes.

“This course has very small greens, so you have to be very focused on your shots,” Ji-ae Shin said after she finished the competition. “So I might have had a chance to win, but the wind didn’t help today,” she said. However, she laughed and said, “This is golf.” He said, “It is still March and there are many competitions left,” and “Today’s experience will be helpful in future competitions.”

Koda won the championship after a close match that went into overtime with Ryan O'Toole (USA). It was her 10th win on tour, adding the trophy two months after the Drive On Championship held last January. Koda said, “Se-ri Pak has been an inspiration to many people around me, and I am one of them. It was an amazing feeling to meet and talk to one of the best players and to win his competition.”

Among Korean players, Shin Ji-eun tied for 10th place (5 under par, 279 strokes), and two Korean players ranked in the top 10. Kim Hyo-joo and Lee Mi-hyang finished in a tie for 18th place (3 under par, 281 strokes), Kim A-lim finished in a tie for 22nd place (2 under par, 282 strokes), and Lim Jin-hee finished in a tie for 27th place (1 under par, 283 strokes).
