The latest development was on Wednesday, March 12, when a practice round was held with KLPGA top female pros including defending champion Lee Ye-won, former world number one Park Sung-hyun, and KLPGA golfer Kim Jae-hee, ranked 26th, giving interviews about their readiness before the tournament began the next day, as well as three top Thai female pros Chanettee Wannasaen, two-time LPGA Tour champion, Apichaya Yubol, ranked 91st in the world, and Kiratriya Fujaroen, a player from the Epson Tour.

Lee Ye-won, the 22-year-old world number 46, who will defend her title this week, said, “I am excited to start the new season and it is an honor to defend my title. During the off-season, I have been practicing, improving and correcting my weaknesses, which has given me confidence in my form. I hope this year will be another good memory.”

Park Sung-hyun, the world number 52, a winner of seven LPGA Tour titles, including two majors, and 10 KLPGA Tour titles, said about his first visit to Phuket, “Last year I had an injury problem, but now I am 100 percent fit. I feel great about my first visit to Phuket and I want to take time to see the beautiful sea in the world. Last week, I did not perform well in the LPGA tournament. This week, I want to improve my performance. From my first practice at Blue Canyon, I admit that it is a challenging course. The wind is a major obstacle, so I have to hit the ball straight.”

While Chanettee Wannasan, world number 49, said, “This is my first time playing at Blue Canyon. The course is difficult, especially the layout, which has challenging slopes and narrow fairways. We need to plan well. I don’t have high expectations for the results, but I will do my best (superpg1688)
