[Golf Topic] 'Slow Play' Noyeolim "A Fine of 10 Million Won?"

[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…Rookie No Ye-rim (USA, photo) was fined a large amount of money due to slow play.

Golfweek USA reported on the 31st (Korean time) that "No Ye-rim exceeded the allotted time on the 10th and 12th holes during the third round of last week's LPGA Tour Kia Classic," and "was fined $10,000 (11.33 million KRW)." Although she earned $4,247 for tying 61st place at the Kia Classic, she paid more than twice that amount in fines. At that time, the tournament officials closely monitored the pace of play of rookies, and they followed No Ye-rim to check her pace.

No Ye-rim played with a newly hired caddie for the first time at the Kia Classic. After her shots were off during the second round, she took more time than usual before attacking the greens in the third round. She was so nervous that she even forgot that the officials were following her. She has a history of being fined for slow play last year as well. "Since it was my fault, I couldn't protest," she said, adding, "It was such a large amount of money that I learned a lesson never to make this mistake again," expressing regret.
