[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] It is an upset.

A female player won a Danish men's professional golf tournament. The protagonist is Emily Pedersen (Denmark). On the 11th (Korean time), she topped the ECCO Tour Bravo Tours Open held at Lomo Golf Links in Denmark with a total score of 11 under par 133 after 2 rounds. She shot 6 under par on the first day and 5 under par on the second day. She cheered, "I confirmed that the results come as much as the effort," and "I am happy to overcome difficult times and win again."

The ECCO Tour is the Danish professional golf tour. Together with the Swedish Tour, it forms the Nordic Golf League under the European Tour. The ECCO Tour was suspended after the Catalonia Resort Championship in March and resumed the season after three months. There were 82 participants in this tournament, including 9 female players. Pedersen is a promising player who won the 2015 European Ladies Professional Golf Tour (LET) Hero Women's Indian Open and received the Rookie of the Year award that year.

In 2015, she represented Europe in the four-women golf tour competition The Queens, and in 2017, she participated in the Solheim Cup, the women's golf competition between Europe and the United States. She is currently playing on the Symetra Tour (LPGA's second-tier tour) in the United States. It is difficult for female players to win in men's tournaments. In 2002, Suzy Whaley (USA) won the PGA Connecticut Section Championship, and in 2012, Lydia Hall (Wales) won the Welsh National PGA Championship.

On the PGA Tour, Babe Zaharias (USA), who played in the 1945 LA Open, holds the best record as the only female to make the main field. 'Old golf queen' Annika Sorenstam (Sweden), Michelle Wie, and Brittany Lincicome (both USA) were invited to the PGA Tour to compete against male players at the 2003 Colonial Classic, 2004 Sony Open, and 2018 Barbasol Championship respectively, but unfortunately, all were cut off.
