Is it confidence or humility? Yoon or his biggest competitor will win over himself, laziness and fighting

"The biggest competitor must overcome the fight against myself, against laziness."

Is it an expression of confidence or humility.

The Queen of Long-Hitting' Yoon In-na is stepping into the U.S. LPGA Tour in earnest. Yoon Na-na, who won the tour ticket for next season through passing the Q School, will make her LPGA debut through the Founders Cup, which is scheduled to be held in February next year.




Yoon Na-na held a press conference on the 26th at the CCMM Building in Yeouido, Seoul, and expressed her future aspirations.

Even before the controversy over "Oh-gu Play" had subsided, Yun-na looked slightly down throughout the meeting, perhaps due to public criticism from her sudden entry into the U.S. But every word, every word, was outspoken. His unique confidence was oozing.

Yoon Na-na said, `I know you need more skills to compete in the LPGA. The challenge to unfamiliar places is exciting and burdensome, he said. "I will thoroughly prepare and move forward for next year's Rookie of the Year title." Yoon Na-na swept the grand prize, the prize money king, and the lowest at-bats title in this year's KLPGA. But he didn't win the Rookie of the Year award. That's why he has a greater attachment to the Rookie of the Year award.

Yoon Na-na "I know that winning doesn't mean winning is what I want. I will do my best in every tournament rather than my goal of winning. Then, I think the winner and the Rookie of the Year title will come to me" he said.

A large number of high-quality rookies, including Japanese Iwai sisters, will join the LPGA next year. It may not be easy to challenge for the Rookie of the Year. In response, Yoon Na-na said, `It's hard to say, I felt that many players had great skills,' but added "I would like to carefully express my opinion that the biggest competitor is myself. If I overcome my laziness and fight, I think I will be one step closer to the Rookie of the Year award."

The key is short game. Yun In-na "is the part I felt the most. The grass is different from Korea. I felt that various skills were needed to attach the ball to the pin. And I also thought I didn't have the technology yet. We need to develop such a part. All of the seniors who entered the LPGA first emphasized the importance of short games", he explained.
