Choi stressed she is very grateful to the organizers for extending a special invite to her this year.
Photo 2: Rolex Rankings No. 15 player Mirim Lee revealed upon arriving in Taiwan that she had a disappointing weekend last week in Korea after following up her -3 first two rounds with a pedestrian +10 final two rounds. Lee said her ball-striking and putting was subpar last week and she hopes to turn things around this week in Taiwan at the Swinging Skirts LPGA Taiwan Championship.
Photo 3: Korean player Mi Jung Hur, who is making her sixth appearance this week at the LPGA Taiwan Championship, is very conservative about finally breaking through with a win after six top-10 finishes so far this season. Hur said it's difficult to play well at different golf courses every week and "even if you are in a good condition, nobody knows where the ball goes." Hur said she likes playing in Taiwan because the culture and food here is similar to those of Korea.
