With her pretty appearance and solid performance, she is loved by many fans every time she plays.
Park Hyun-kyung’s main weapon, who won four times until last year, was putting.
He was No. 1 in the putting category in 2021, No. 2 in 2022, and No. 4 last year.
The key to Park Hyun-kyung’s ability to survive as the 10th-ranked wife in average times over the past three years, even though she failed to rank within 40th in the green hit rate, which is closely correlated with average times at bat, was the outstanding green play.
One of the reasons why Park Hyun-kyung’s green hit rate was pushed out of the 40th place was the short tee shot distance.
In terms of driver shot distance, Son has always ranked around 60th over the past three years. If the tee shot distance is short, the green accuracy rate is low because the player has to use a longer club for the next shot.
However, a noticeable change occurred in Park Hyun-kyung’s record this year.
Before the Doosan Match Play, Park was ranked 34th (243.25 yards) in the driving distance.
Compared to last year’s 57th place (238.3 yards), the flying distance has increased significantly.
Park Hyun-kyung confessed, “I clenched my teeth to increase the distance during training last winter.”
“I thought it would be nice to go out just 5 to 10 yards more,” he said. “Before, I thought I could putt on the green from further back and putt first from further away, but that was not the case.”
Park Hyun-kyung spent time and effort to increase the distance in winter training for six weeks.
I clung to strength training without a day’s rest.
Park Hyun-kyung, who said, “I did muscle training to break my body,” gained enough strength to raise the weight of the squat barbell to 100kg.
Park Hyun-kyung lost weight as her muscle mass increased.
Park Hyun-kyung, who started the season with a weight of 64kg until last year and was about 60kg by the end of the season, started this year with 62kg.
Park Hyun-kyung said, “The strength seems to be stronger and less exhausting.”
As the training effect appeared, the driving shot distance increased by more than 10 yards.
Thanks to this increased distance, Park Hyun-kyung’s game this season has changed from before.
The number of second shots as a hybrid club in the par-4 hole has decreased significantly. Park Hyun-kyung handles hybrid clubs better than anyone else on the KLPGA tour, but there was a hidden truth that she uses them often.
Park Hyun-kyung said, “I feel like golf has become easier.”
In the quarterfinals of the Doosan Match Play, Park Hyun-kyung met Moon Jung-min, who is famous as a long hitter on the KLPGA Tour.
The driver shot distance, which was three or four clubs apart, has decreased to about one club.
Park Hyun-kyung, “Golf Is Easier Than Ever,” advanced to the semifinals by beating Moon by six holes. She met long hitter Lee So-young in the semifinals, but won in a neck-and-neck race.
In the final with Lee Ye-won, who has a similar playing style, Park was always ahead of Lee by the tee shot distance. She hit her second shot further forward to the shorter club.
Park Hyun-kyung’s victory may not necessarily be due to increased distance, but it is true that Park Hyun-kyung’s golf has become more comfortable than last year.
Park Hyun-kyung said, “I solved my homework.”
In other words, Park Hyun-kyung’s goal this year was to win major competitions and win the grand prize, which had a strong background of increasing the distance.
