I'm positive the Constructivist will do a wrap-up publish about the ISPS Handa New Zealand Open -- he's been following it all weekend -- and with more info than I have, since the LET hasn't even achieved a wrap-up publish but. (I'll include a hyperlink to his submit here as soon as he receives it up.)
But I can tell you this much: New Zealand got a bit of a shock when the tournament ended.
It wasn't just that Lydia Ko didn't win. (She was definitely in the mix btw.) No, the shocker was that the winner wasn't even in the final pairings. Hell, she wasn't even under par when the final round started!
Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to Mi Hyang Lee. (The photo's from her bio at LPGA.com.)
According to her bio at Seoul Sisters, Mi Hyang Lee become a rookie on the LPGA Tour in 2012 and he or she'll be 21 this 12 months. Her stats are not a great deal to look at. She neglected a number of cuts closing 12 months. And although she has a win on the Symetra Tour, her first-class LPGA end changed into a T19 at closing 12 months's Evian and her lowest score changed into a sixty four shot at last year's Manulife.
Seoul Sisters will must replace their bio after this week!
Lee started the day at even par. Apparently the direction has gotten tougher because the week went on; if you read my put up about the first spherical you'll recall that almost a third of the field (forty one players, to be genuine) had been under par. By the end of the final spherical there were best 25...
And Lee sat at the pinnacle of the heap after blistering the path with a 63, her lowest aggressive spherical ever, to take the early lead at -9. If I counted efficiently, there have been best 9 ratings beneath 70 inside the final spherical. Second-round leader Anya Alvarez shot a 73; Lydia Ko shot a decent 70 to lose with the aid of one.
I'm thinking if Mi Hyang Lee will take in dual club at the LET and LPGA now. If not anything else, a few top tournaments at the LET (and allow's not forget about that her best end before these days become a co-backed LET/LPGA important) ought to sincerely pass her up the Rolex Rankings.
Congrats to Mi Hyang Lee. She had hassle stepping into tournaments last yr due to her popularity, however I do not think it's going to be a hassle in 2014. Way to make it rely, lady!
