Ji-Hee Lee jumped up to co-leader. She has prepared for this tournament for more than six months. On No 9 she selected Hybrid Club(5) to hole a 175 yard second shot for eagle. If it had took place on the last hole, it had been a historic event of LPGA. “I couldn’t see due to elevated green .But distance was perfect. I’m happy.”
She turned to a Fade hitter this year, as isn’t well known. “I came to realize the limitation of Draw hitter. I talked to my coach to decide to challenge,”she always wants to improve herself. However, it is a gamble for 38-year-expert-player to rebuild a usual swing into a new. She said, “Shots wasn’t steady. That’s why I played well this year. But this week off the tee I proved it right. I’m not scared at all however tough course setting.” She continued, “Somehow this course and I just hadn’t been compatible. Only a few times was top 10 finishers. National championship really attracts me and I will win this year.” On Saturday she selected a red clothes, which had been unusual with her. Red is a color of fire and fighting spirit.
