Jin Young Ko heads to Singapore in a rich vein of form having chalked up five wins and 13 top-10 finishes in what was a stellar year for the South Korean in 2021. With 12 tournament wins to her name, including two majors, the 26-year old will have her eye on the silverware at Sentosa as she looks to get her 2022 tour off to a perfect start. A rookie in 2018, her best result to date at the HSBC Women’s World Championship was a third-place tie in 2019.
“I’m really looking forward to coming back to Singapore to play in the HSBC Women’s World Championship in March. It’s a brilliant event and it was so good to see it back on the schedule last year. 2021 was a great year for me and I finished off feeling really strong. I’ll be looking to carry that form into 2022, so will be hoping for a good result in Singapore. See you there!” said Ko.
The details
A double winner in Singapore, Inbee Park has already written her name into the Sentosa history books, but a fierce competitor with an eye for the big ones, she will be looking to make it three in 2022. With 21 LPGA Tour victories, including seven majors and an Olympic gold medal to her name, Park’s win record speaks for itself.
Victories at Sentosa in 2015 and 2017 and a third place finish in 2021 show just how well the 33-year old from Seoul knows how to get the job done on a Sunday. For a masterclass in putting and approach play, Park will certainly be one to watch this year.
“Well first of all, it’s great news that we’re coming back to Singapore in 2022! On behalf of all the players, a big thank you to the organisers, the sponsors and Singapore! It’s a fantastic tournament, a great golf club and after all the travel restrictions a great place to come and play golf. I got my season off to the perfect start in 2021 so will be hoping I can do the same at the HSBC Women’s World Championship. It’s obviously a very special tournament for me and brings back many happy memories. I’m looking forward to it.” said Park.
Another prolific winner returning to the heat and lush surroundings of Sentosa Golf Club is New Zealand’s Lydia Ko. Another impressive year on Tour in 2021 including a win at the LOTTE Championship, and a further 10 top-10 finishes saw the popular, former world no.1 steadily work her way back up the rankings. With two major championships to her name, Ko’s best result to date in Singapore is a second place finish in 2015.
