Professional golfer Yoo Hyun-joo (30), who boasts popularity as Korea’s “Sexy Queen,” participated in the NH Investment Securities Ladies Championship (May 10-12) on the Korean Women’s Tour as an organizer’s recommendation.
Yoo Hyun-joo, playing in only her second regular tour event this season, shot an even-par 72 on the first day with three birdies and three bogeys, and on the second day she shot a 75 with one birdie and four bogeys to finish 3-over for the day. He managed to stay at 3-over for the final round as well, but finished in a tie for 57th with a total of 6-over.
After the match, he posted the following comment to his 380,000 followers on Instagram.
‘I was able to play my first match in a long time with lots of support. It was a very gratifying three days. I will use the frustration of wanting to show a better performance as a driving force to work harder. I want to express my gratitude to all the people who came from near and far.”
Fans also left comments in response to these words. In fact,
[Claire] I hope to see you in many more final rounds!
You are better in person than in pictures, you are a goddess!
You are the winner for me!
I’m so happy to see you in the final round!
On the final day, there was a line of people waiting for autographs after the game, and he responded to all of them with a smile. One fan who received an autograph captured the scene on video on his phone,
He has a great personality! He has a great personality, is cute, and plays good golf. I was really happy that he took pictures with me and talked with me after he finished signing autographs.
He wrote.
She is a popular player in Korea, so all we can do now is wait for her to finish higher in the standings. Incidentally, he made birdie on the par-5 17th on the final day of this tournament. His first shot with a driver was 253.8 yards and held the fairway. His dynamic swing driver shot is reputed to be highly accurate. Furthermore, his third shot was 1m closer to the pin, and his irons are also highly accurate. What remains to be seen is whether he can consistently hit these shots.
His main competition this season is the second division “Dream Tour,” but he is not in bad shape, having finished tied for 5th place at 2-under par in his first round in April. He is not in bad shape. We hope that he will be able to achieve solid results and win the right to play on the regular tour next season.
