Ji-ae Shin “This is golf”

Ji-ae Shin, a veteran who was aiming to win the LPGA Tour, finished in the top five at the Furhills Se-ri Pak Championship. One double bogey recorded in the final round was painful.

In the 4th round of the tournament held at Palos Verdes Golf Club (par 71) in Los Angeles, California, USA on the 25th (Korean time), Ji-ae Shin lost 2 strokes and tied for 5th place with a total of 7 under par 277 strokes. She was two strokes behind the winner, Nelly Korda (USA, 9 under par, 275 strokes).

Ji-ae Shin put her ball on the green after just her third shot on the 12th hole (par 4), and she swung three putts on the green. On this hole she made a double bogey and slipped from her lead. After the game, Shin Ji-ae gave a calm response, saying, "The wind didn't help. This is golf."

Fortunately, she rose to the top of the LPGA tournament, creating an opportunity for Shin Ji-ae to rise in the rankings in the women's golf world rankings, which will be announced on the 26th. Her goal is to participate in the Paris Olympics in August. As of the 25th, she is ranked 18th in the world in women's golf, and to achieve her dream of participating in the Olympics, she must be among the top 15 in the world by the end of June.

Korda tied with Ryan O'Toole (USA) and won with a birdie on her first playoff hole. In the six competitions she has competed in this season, Korda has already won two.

On the other hand, Korean players have yet to produce a winner this season. In the Furhills Pak Se-ri Championship, Shin Ji-eun (tied for 10th place, total 5 under par, 279 strokes) along with Shin Ji-ae were the only ones in the top 10.
