Korean-born female golfers have been dominating the 2015 season, as they have been winning every tournament in the LPGA and Ladies European Tour (LET) season so far, according to the Korea Times.
The list of tournament winners includes Choi Na-yeon, Park Inbee, Ryu So-yeon, Oh Su-hyun, Amy Yang and 17-year-old Lydia Ko, who became the youngest golfer of either gender to reach No. 1 in the world rankings.
According to the Korea Times, an average of two South Korean players have finished in the top five of this year’s LPGA and LET events. That average slightly increases if Korean-born players are included in the equation. The winning streak for Korean-born golfers is quite impressive as there are currently 25 active Korean players on the LPGA tour, while the U.S. has 45 active players.
Ryu So-yeon and Park Inbee competed in Mission Hills World Ladies Championship in China this past Sunday. Ryu beat Park by just one stroke and won her first world World Ladies Championship title.
