Ko Jin-young (28, Solaire), who is challenging the ‘inaugural champion’ at the new LPGA Tour tournament, said, “It is not unfamiliar, but it is a course that requires concentration.”
Ko Jin-young will sortie for the LPGA Tour JM Eagle LA Championship ($3 million) held at Wilshire Country Club (par 71, 6258 yards) in Los Angeles, California for four days from the 28th (Korean time).
Although this is the first tournament this year, Wilshire Country Club has held many tournaments, including the DIO Implant LA Open held last year.
Ko Jin-young also experienced both ‘heaven and hell’, such as making a quadruple bogey in the 17th hole (par 4) in the 3rd round after setting the course record for the 2nd round in this competition last year.
Ahead of the tournament, Ko Jin-young said, “I’ve experienced this course for a long time, so I’m not unfamiliar with it.”
The point of attacking the course is concentration and confidence. He said, “The green is so small that it is not easy to raise it.” “he emphasized.

He added, “I believe that my performance varies depending on how much I focus on myself in every competition.”
Meanwhile, ‘Rookie’ Yoo Hae-ran (22, Daol Financial Group) will also participate in this competition. After tying for 7th place at the Drive-On Championship last month, which was his official debut in the United States, he was pushed back to the mid-table in the next three tournaments, and he tries to rebound in this tournament.
Yoo Hae-ran said, “I think I got greedy because I finished the first tournament so well,” and said, “I couldn’t calmly pass it over when I didn’t like the play.
He said, “As a rookie, all the courses are new and I am having a hard time adapting. However, I think this course will be a little easier because I was invited as an amateur. I will work hard to show a better image.” compacted
