Keep leading the whole time Lose to Jessica Corda in overtime

Korean-American Daniel Kang (29) missed the opening game of the American Women’s Professional Golf (LPGA) Tour in the 2021 season and took second place in the extra time.

Daniel Kang in the final 4th round of the LPGA Tour Diamond Resort Champions Tournament ($1.2 million in prize money) held at the Four Seasons Golf and Sports Club Orlando (par 71, 6,645 yards) in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, USA on the 25th (Korean time). He tied 4 birdies and 1 bogie and hit 3 under par 68.

Daniel Kang, who recorded a final total of 24 under par 260, made the same shot as Jessica Corda (USA) and was taken to overtime.

In the extra time on hole 18 (par 3), Jessica Corda caught Buddy first, while Daniel Kang missed Buddy Putt to win the championship.

Jessica Corda added a multiplier in about three years since the 2018 Honda LPGA Thailand, and has been in her 6th win.

The winning prize is 180,000 dollars (about 200 million won).

Daniel Kang missed the chance to win six in his career.

Daniel Kang aimed to win the’Wire to Wire’, which held the lead throughout the 1st and 4th rounds, but gave the lead in the last minute overtime.

Daniel Kang held a birdie in the 1st hole (par 4), 7th hole (par 5) and 14th hole (par 3), keeping the lead well.

However, on the 15th hole (par 4), I was in crisis by writing down the view with a regrettable putt.

This is the first episode of Daniel’s lecture.

With this example, Daniel Kang was driven to a situation where Jessica and Nelli Corda were chased by one and two shots, respectively.

Sisters Corda, who played in the championship group with Daniel Kang, put all tee shots on the green well on the 16th hole (par 4).

On the other hand, Daniel’s tee shot fell among the trees on the right.

Daniel Kang, fortunately, was saved without penalty, putting the second shot in the rough next to the green, and defending the par.

However, her sister Jessica Corda caught Buddy and overtook Daniel River as a joint lead.

My younger brother Nelly Corda wrote the par.

Daniel Kang and Jessica Corda side-by-side with a birdie on the 17th hole (par 5) and a par on the 18th hole in an overtime match.

Nelli Corda took third place alone with a final total of 22 under par 262.

Jeon Inji (27) finished the tournament in fourth place with a final total of 17 under par 267 strokes.

Jeonin-in made the best performance since the BMW Ladies Championship in October 2019 (joint 4th place) by reducing 4 strokes with 4 buddies, including catching a birdie on the 15th to 17th holes this day.

Park Hee-young (34) and Heo Mi-jeong (32) were tied for 22nd with a final total of 3 under par 281.

In the last three years, 25 LPGA Tour winners participated in the competition, and celebrities participated and played in the same group as the professional players.

Celebrities set a separate ranking by assigning points according to the result of each hole (variant stableford), and tennis player Mardi Fish (USA) climbed 158 points to the top.

Anika Sorenstam (Sweden), the’legendary’ of women’s golf, who participated as a celebrity, not a player, took 9th place with 134 points.
