'KLPGA No.1' Yoo Hyun-jo World No.43 vs 'JLPGA No.1' Shuri World No.39...Korean Women Golfers' World Ranking 'At All-Time Low' [Oh Tae's Golf Story]
The most notable jump in the women's golf world rankings for the second week of March belongs to Lee Mi-hyang, who claimed victory at the LPGA Tour's Blue Bay LPGA after an eight-year, eight-month drought. In the rankings released on March 10 (Korea time), Lee climbed 23 spots to 60th place from 83rd the previous week.
Excluding Lee, more Korean women golfers fell in the rankings than rose. While the LPGA Tour, LET (Ladies European Tour), and JLPGA (Japan Ladies Professional Golf Association) Tour have already begun their seasons, the KLPGA Tour only opens this week.
