On the 25th (Korean time), Ji Eun-hee will compete as the defending champion in the Bank of Hope match play, the only match play event on the LPGA tour, which opens at Shadow Creek Golf Club (par 72) in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. In last year’s tournament, Ji Eun-hee Seo won by 3 holes, leaving Japan’s Ayaka Furue 2 holes behind, making her the only Korean to become the match queen. She also set the record for the oldest Korean player to win on the LPGA Tour at the time (36 years and 17 days).
Ji Eun-hee said in an interview with the LPGA Tour ahead of the opening of the tournament, “Her memories of winning last year are still vivid. Good luck continues this week, hopefully a good game,” she said.
However, her concern is the pressure to defend the title. Ji Eun-hee said, “In the process of reaching the championship last year, she made a tie at the 18th hole in the third round, and she was able to advance to the round of 16. From then on, I only have good memories, but when I think about it only for the third round, I get a little worried,” she said. Ji Eun-hee also confessed that although she was happy to win last year, it was physically difficult.
In this year’s tournament, Ji Eun-hee will play in the group stage with Lynn Grant (Sweden), Matilda Kastren (Finland), and Maddy Jerich (Canada). Ji Eun-hee, who is working hard at practicing at the Shadow Creek Golf Club, the venue for the tournament, said, “I think that part led to good results because I know that even if I make a mistake in match play, I can make up for it if I become more aggressive.” I will participate in the tournament with more confidence than I would in a stroke play tournament without it.”
Meanwhile, JTBC Golf will broadcast all rounds of the Bank of Hope LPGA Match Play live, and you can watch the first day from 2:30 am on the 25th.
