This is the number of wins South Korea achieved in the final major of the 2020 LPGA Tour, the US Women's Open (total prize money $5.5 million). From Park Seri (43, retired) in 1998 to Lee Jeong-eun 6 (24, Daebang Construction) last year, six players combined for a total of 10 wins. Since 2011 alone, there have been 6 wins. This is why it is called 'another Korean Women's Open.' This year, the originally scheduled June event was postponed to December due to the impact of COVID-19. Let's look at the numbers.

▲ 2 (holes) = Number of playoff holes since 2018. If there is a tie, a two-hole playoff aggregate score determines the winner. If still tied, it goes to sudden death.

▲ 4 (wins) = Most wins in the tournament by Betsy Rawls and Mickey Wright (both USA). Next is Annika Sorenstam (Sweden) with 3 wins.

▲ 9 (players) = Past champions participating this year. Korea has six players: Ji Eun-hee (34, Hanwha Q Cells), Park In-bee (32, KB Financial Group), Yoo So-yeon (30, Mediheal), Park Sung-hyun (27), Jeon In-ji (25, KB Financial Group), and Lee Jeong-eun 6.

▲ 19 (years) = Park In-bee's youngest winning age. She won the trophy at 19 years, 11 months, and 17 days old in 2008. The oldest winner was Babe Zaharias (USA) in 1954 at 43 years and 7 days.

▲ 23 (years) = Most consecutive appearances by Cristie Kerr (USA). Followed by Angela Stanford (21 years), Brittany Lang (16 years), Stacy Lewis and Lexi Thompson (both USA), and Yang Hee-young (14 years).

▲ 27 (players) = Number of Korean players among 156 participants. The USA has the most with 41, followed by Japan with 17, Sweden 10, England 8, Australia and Thailand 6, and France 5.

▲ 34.99 (dollars) = Price of a hole flag. Tote bags, tumblers, and hats are $27.99.

▲ 51 (wins) = Most wins held by the USA. Korea (10 wins), Sweden (4 wins), Australia (3 wins), and England (2 wins) follow.

▲ 75 (times) = Founded in 1946, this is the 75th edition this year, boasting the 'oldest' history on the LPGA Tour.

▲ 1,000,000 (dollars) = Prize money more than three times that of regular tournaments. Player of the Year points are also doubled this year.

▲ 272 (strokes) = Lowest 72-hole score in the tournament. Achieved by Sorenstam (1996), Juli Inkster (1999, USA), and Jeon In-ji (2015).
