“Golf queen” Park In-bee (32, KB Financial Group) expressed confidence in the upcoming major US Women's Open (total prize money $5.5 million) held from the 10th at Champions Golf Club in Houston, Texas, following her runner-up finish on the 7th (Korean time) at the Volunteers of America Classic (total prize money $1.75 million) at Old American Golf Club (par 71) in The Colony, Texas, USA. She was left with some regrets after allowing Angela Stanford (USA) to come from behind and win.
"Today somehow felt like a slightly lacking day," said Park In-bee, adding, "Overall, it felt like a week to test my shot senses." She gathered her resolve, saying, "I am satisfied with the runner-up finish and will strive for better results next week." She predicted, "Next week’s course conditions will likely be similar to this tournament," and added, "It will be windier and colder." She also said, "I had good practice this week," and expressed her eagerness by saying, "I am looking forward to next week."

Yoo So-yeon, who said she was "a bit nervous because it was a comeback tournament," expressed joy, saying, "I was happy to be able to compete for the championship until the end," and showed composure by saying, "Finishing second is also good." She added, "Majors always bring tough challenges and tension," and declared, "I will give it my all."
