我只能說... LPGA 真的滿敢的... - 高爾夫球

不知道是要說有錢能使鬼推磨，還是雅妮是 LPGA 不能忽略的招牌？

亦或者是 LPGA 神經非常大條？不知何時中國政府會對 LPGA 抗議... 呵呵。

當然... 我很歡迎 LPGA 把這段寫上去就是了... (茶)

請看報導最後一段... 不過我沒翻譯，所以... 你要懂一些英文囉！

Sunrise LPGA Taiwan Championship

Sunrise Golf & Country Club
Yangmei, Taoyuan, Taiwan
October 20-23, 2011

Star-Studded Field

In its inaugural year, the Sunrise LPGA Taiwan Championship already boasts an
elite field that includes 27 of the top-30 players on the 2011 Official LPGA
Money List and 9 of the top-11 on the Rolex Rankings. Taiwan native and Rolex
Rankings No. 1 Yani Tseng headlines the field which also includes No. 2
Suzann Pettersen, No. 3 Cristie Kerr, No. 4 Na Yeon Choi, No. 5 Jiyai Shin,
No. 7 Ai Miyazato, No. 8 Brittany Lincicome, No. 10 Stacy Lewis and No. 11
I.K. Kim. Also in the field are Sandra Gal and Maria Hjorth who have both won
on the LPGA Tour in 2011 and LPGA and World Golf Hall of Fame member Se Ri
Pak.

Home-Course Advantage

All eyes will be on Rolex Rankings No. 1 Yani Tseng as she returns home to
compete in the inaugural Sunrise LPGA Taiwan Championship. Coming off her
sixth LPGA Tour victory this season at the LPGA HanaBank Championship, 2011
has been a year to remember as she continues to improve on an already
impressive resume. With a victory at this year’s RICOH Women’s British
Open, the 22 year old became the youngest player, male of female, to win five
major titles. Currently in the midst of her third season on the LPGA Tour,
she has already notched 11 victories and holds the lead in the Rolex Player
of the Year race (which she also won in 2010), the contest for the Vare
Trophy for lowest scoring average and the LPGA money list.

Rookie Race

Hee Kyung Seo a.k.a “The Supermodel of the Fairway” currently holds a
commanding lead in the Louise Suggs Rolex Rookie of the Year race. This
season, she has notched nine top-25 finishes including runner up at the U.S.
Women’s Open where she lost in a playoff to So Yeon Ryu. Chasing Seo for the
Louise Suggs Trophy are No. 2 Tiffany Joh, No. 3 Ryann O’Toole, No. 4
Christel Boeljon, No. 5 Jenny Shin, No. 6 Jennifer Johnson, No. 7 Jennifer
Song, No. 8 Belen Mozo, No. 9 Jessica Korda and No. 10 Caroline Hedwall are
all slated to compete in Taiwan.

On The Rise

Tzu-Chi (“Winny”) Lin might be competing in her first LPGA Tour event but
the Taiwan native is no stranger to the professional golf ranks. A three year
veteran on the LPGA Futures Tour, Lin captured her first professional victory
at this year’s Florida’s Natural Charity Classic in Winter Haven, Fla. As
an amateur, Lin played on the same Chinese Taipei National Team as Rolex
Rankings No. 1 Yani Tseng and the two have remained close friends exchanging
words of encouragement and congratulations via Facebook.


Winning Ways

A trio of players set to compete this week have found themselves in the winner
’s circle multiple times during this season’s LPGA Tour. Yani Tseng, Suzann
Pettersen and Brittany Lincicome have combined to win nine tournaments which
is nearly half the amount of tournaments already played on this year’s
schedule. Tseng leads the way with an impressive six victories including the
Honda LPGA Thailand, LPGA State Farm Classic, Wegmans LPGA Championship,
RICOH Women’s British Open, Walmart NW Arkansas Championship and the LPGA
Hana Bank Championship. Pettersen earned victories at the Sybase Match Play
Championship and Safeway Classic Presented by Coca-Cola and Lincicome won the
ShopRite LPGA Classic and CN Canadian Women’s Open.

Solheim Presence

Just a month after the European Team clinched Solheim Cup, several team
members now set their sights on Taiwan. Ten of the twelve European player
roster including Christel Boeljon, Sandra Gal, Sophie Gustafson, Caroline
Hedwall, Maria Hjorth, Catriona Matthew, Azahara Munoz , Anna Nordqvist,
Suzann Pettersen and Karen Stupples are scheduled to tee-it-up this week.
Members of the U.S. Team also in the field are Cristie Kerr, Christina Kim,
Brittany Lang, Stacy Lewis, Brittany Linicome, Ryann O’Toole and Morgan
Pressel.

Happy Anniversary!

This year’s inaugural tournament could not come at a better time as Taiwan
celebrates its 100th year of independence. Currently, Taiwan is filled with
celebrations and festivals but this week’s tournament marks as one of the
highlights of the year.
