User talk:‘Winning after 4 years and 9 months’ Yang Hee-young “I even thought about retirement “I’m glad I did it in the end”
Yang Hee-young (34), who did not give up until the end and did not give up until the end, smiled brightly even though she contemplated retirement due to continued poor performance and injuries. It was like her 'smile' embroidered on her own 'plain hat'.
Yang Hee-young ranked 6th in the final 4th round of the CME Group Tour Championship (total prize money of $7 million), the final match of the LPGA Tour season held at the Tiburon Golf Club Gold Course (par 72) in Naples, Florida on the 20th (Korean time). He added under par and won with a final total of 27 under par and 261 strokes.
This victory was the first in 4 years and 9 months since Honda Thailand in February 2019. It was especially meaningful as she had been considering retirement due to her continued struggles and injuries in recent years.
Yang Hee-young said at the post-match press conference, “A lot of things have happened while playing golf, but I have never thought about retirement like I did this year.”
Yang Hee-young, who had been rock climbing as a hobby, suffered from an elbow injury and had difficulties. This was why he even thought about retirement.
Yang Hee-young said, “As I was exhausted from the injury, I wondered if retirement would be the best option. “I felt like my days as a player would not be long,” he said.
Due to poor performance and injuries, the main sponsor was cut off. Accordingly, Yang Hee-young personally embroidered a 'smile' pattern on her white 'plain hat'.
He explained, “I couldn’t find a main sponsor, but I didn’t want to leave the hat blank, so I embroidered a smile on it.”
Yang Hee-young, who regained her composure, raised her spirits by competing for the championship several times this season, and marked the finale by winning the final competition of the season.
This victory was also her first win in the U.S. mainland since entering the LPGA tour in 2008.
Heeyoung Yang said, “I have always dreamed of winning my first championship in the United States, and I am honored to have won my first championship at the CME Group Tour Championship. I would like to say thank you to everyone who waited for me for a long time.”
Winning wasn't easy. Heeyoung Yang had a fierce battle with Nasa Hataoka (Japan) until the end in the last round.
He said, “We came close to winning a few times this year, but we couldn’t win. “I sincerely hoped that wouldn’t happen today.”
“I was nervous throughout the game, but all I could do was play my game and believe in myself,” he said, smiling broadly. “I told myself ‘I can do it,’ and worked hard, and I’m really happy that I did it in the end.” 카지노사이트존
