In Ju-yeon, fresh off her first win, has been waiting for this moment
In Ju-yeon’s win at the NH Investment & Securities Ladies Championship on Sunday may have come as a surprise to some, but for the fourth-year KLPGA golfer, it was a long time coming.
“I still can’t believe that I won,” In said.
After going through two playoff holes, In picked up her first KLPGA Tour win at the NH Investment & Securities Ladies Championship on Sunday. The 21-year-old golfer has gone through a lot to get to the title - 59 tournaments, to be exact.
Although In started later than others, she also improved quicker than others. She was selected to join the national team when she was 18.
Despite the hardship, In felt like she couldn’t let down her mentor, PGA golfer Choi Kyung-ju. In high school, she attended an annual winter training session hosted by Choi’s foundation and received a scholarship from his organization. When she was on the Dreams Tour, the KLPGA’s second-tier tour, Choi provided In with financial and emotional support. “Be humble all the time,” he used to tell her.
In didn’t expect her first win to come so soon. “This is just the beginning,” she said. “I want my career to continue for the next 10 years. I won’t get full of myself from this win. I’ll continue to be a humble golfer, In Ju-yeon.”
