This is Park Inbi’s first match of the season. All three games held this year were off. However, from the first match and the first round, it has been flying. Park In-bi took the lead with 66 strokes in the first round of this tournament and also kept the lead by one stroke in the second round. In the third round, the number of strokes was increased to 5. For Park In-Bee, this is a chance to win the championship after a year since the Australian Women’s Open in February last year. If you win this event, you will be 21 victories on the LPGA Tour.

Park Inbi likes the Kia Classic. The results of this competition are also good. It was runner-up three times. However, there was no win. It is noteworthy whether Park Inbi will break Jinx. Rio Olympic gold medalist Park Inbi wants to compete in the Tokyo Olympics.

You must be in the 4th place among Korean players to win a ticket. As of the 28th, the rankings of Korean players are Ko Jin-young (1), Kim Se-young (2), Park In-bi (4), Kim Hyo-joo (8), and Park Seong-hyun (11). If he wins this tournament, Inbi Park will take one step closer to the Olympic qualification.

Mi-jung Heo, who cut five strokes, is tied for second place at the 7-under par. Korean-American Lee Min-ji of Australia and British Mel Lid are tied for second place in the 7-under par.

Ko Jin-young, the world’s No. 1 leader, is a tie for 4th in the 6-under par. Ko Jin-young cut 5 strokes to the 15th hole and climbed to a tie for second place at the 7-under par. However, he looked at the 16th hole, a short par 4 of 250 yards to catch a birdie or eagle. I hit the tee shot properly, but it hit the hard ground and bounced big, and the ball rolled down the 60 yards of the green. The second chip shot was short, the buddy putt was short, and Papert turned away from the hole. Since then, he has not been able to reduce the number of strokes. Kim Hyo-joo is tied for eighth on this day, even par and 5 under par.

Meanwhile, Kim Se-young, Lee Jung-eun 6, and Park Seong-hyun, the second place in the world rankings until the second round that took place the day before, were eliminated by another cut to a tie for 77th place over the 4th par. Kim A-lim, who debuted on the LPGA tour as a member as a winner of last year’s US Women’s Open, was also eliminated. Jeonji was tied for fourth at a 5-under par until the second round, but was disqualified because he accidentally did not sign the scorecard.
