Honma Golf – So Yeon Ryu makes her Tour World golf clubs shine to win the Meijer LPGA Classic

June 19, 2018 – The Honma Golf staff player So Yeon Ryu has once again given the Japanese premium golf equipment brand a new title on the LPGA Tour, after winning the Meijer LPGA Classic last Sunday with a final round of 67 and a total of 267 strokes, two less than the second classified, Caroline Masson.

In the curriculum of the South Korean player, who will turn 28 years old on the 29th of June and became professional in 2008, it is worth highlighting her extraordinary victory at the 2011 U.S. Women’s Open when she was not yet a member of the LPGA Tour. She didn’t become an LPGA rookie until 2012. The curious thing is that she took her latest victory last year in the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship – with which she climbed to No.1 World Ranking – which is precisely the title she has to defend in this week’s event.

The South Korean golfer started the fourth round of the Meijer LPGA Classic two shots behind Anna Nordqvist and Lee-Anne Pace, but took control of the event with a bogey-free card and playing the last seven holes at 2 under par, to keep ahead of the sprint of Lydia Ko and Jacqui Concolino, both tied third, while the Spanish Azahara Muñoz finishing in a good fourth place.

To the merit of So Yeon Ryu with the Honma Tour World golf clubs, it is worth highlighting her Drive Distance average of 276.5y with her TW Proto 460 driver from the tee, and her 14 Greens in Regulation in the last round with her TW737V irons and TW-W wedges; and of course congratulations to the player herself, who knew how to keep calm under a lot of pressure, while the others suffered from nerves.

This is the sixth victory in her professional career, and the first of 2018, although she has made the cut in all her 12 events played this season, including this win and two Top-10 finishes. With this success she earns 500 points that catapult her from No. 29 to No. 8 in the Race to CME Globe ranking, with 1,144 points.
