Jeon, who has 25 wins in Japan alone and is ranking third in total prize money, is one of the living legends of the Japan Ladies Professional Golf Association (JLPGA) Tour. However, Jeon has never thought about her achievements so far. "Past is the past, and it is important to play well from now on," Jeon is also spending her 20th season fiercely in the JLPGA tour.
"In order to continue to develop, we must not dwell on the past. We must continue to make progress toward higher goals," Jeon said in an interview with Maeil Business. "We debuted in 2002 in the Korean LPGA tour and came to the JLPGA tour in 2005. Future-oriented mindset plays an important role in active roles until now."
"My foremost goal in the future is to win a championship." Having failed to win a championship since the Yokohama Tire Golf Tournament in March 2017, she expressed her desire to experience the excitement of winning the title as soon as possible.
"I think any professional golfer would want to win a championship. I don't participate in a competition to pass the cut either. I try to live as a professional golfer until I can endure it, but I want to hold the trophy in my arms at least once before I retire. As what made me who I am now is my effort, I will continue to do my best every moment from now on," he stressed.
Is there any difficulty in competing with players who are older than 20 years apart? "I am doing my best to survive here by banking on the skills and experience that young players do not have," said Jeon after a brief thought.
The JLPGA tour is taking various changes to strengthen its international competitiveness, such as increasing golf courses and increasing four-day tournaments. The change could be disadvantageous to Jeon Mi-jeong, who has a short average driver shot distance, but she did not pay much attention. 먹튀검증
"Compared to 5 to 10 years ago, the remaining distance of the second shot in the par-4 has increased. As it is applied equally to all players, we are thoroughly preparing to survive by improving the accuracy of our long-iron shots. We will make progress in line with the changes and continue to enjoy the JLPGA tour," Jeon said.
Jeon posted a 4-under 68 at the second round of the Stanley Ladies Honda Golf Tournament held at Tomei Country Club in Susono, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan on Sunday. With a 5-under 139 overall, Jeon is tied for 19th. On the final day of the tournament, Jeon is aiming for her third top 10 ranking this season.
"Unlike on the first day, I was able to save four pars on the second day thanks to good putts," Jeon said. "As my shots and putts are not bad at the moment, I look forward to the final day of the race. I am currently ranked 48th in Mercedes points, and I will try to increase it as much as possible through this competition."
