‘Taegeuk Nangja”s match queen challenge was stopped. All of them suffered round of 16 elimination.

South Korean players, including defending champion and ‘eldest sister’ Ji-hee Ji (37-Hanwha Q CELLS), failed to top their group at the Bank of Hope Match Play (US$1.5 million) on the US Women’s Professional Golf (LPGA) Tour at Shadow Creek Golf Club (Par 72) in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, on Sunday (27 July). Match Play is a round-robin format in which 64 players are grouped into 16 groups, with the group winners advancing to the round of 16.메이저놀이터

Shin Ji-Eun Hae-Ran (2-1 over) was the favourite to advance to the round of 16, but her match-queen challenge was halted by Riona Maguire (3 wins) and Lindsey Weaver Wright (2-1 draw). Kim also drew 1-1 with Cheyenne Knight (USA) on the day, but just missed out on a win to advance to the last 16. She had a one-shot lead going into the 17th hole, but a bogey on the 18th (par-4) ended her hopes of reaching the last 16.

Looking to bounce back, Lee lost by four shots to Canada’s Brooke Henderson at the sixth hole to fall to 1-1-1. Ji-hee Lee, the defending champion with a win on the first day, lost to Lynn Grant to finish 1-2-2.
