'Flying Dumbo' Jeon In-ji "Recharged with Good Energy"

Challenging First Season Win at Mayer Classic
Managing Health Domestically, Returning After Scholarship Foundation Activities
"Looking Forward to Defending Major Title Next Week"

‘Flying Dumbo’ Jeon In-ji has returned after recharging.

On the 14th (local time), at a press conference for the LPGA Tour Meijer Classic (total prize money $2.5 million) held at Blythefield Country Club (par 72, 6,581 yards) in Belmont, Michigan, USA, Jeon In-ji said, "I took good care of my body in Korea and came back," adding, "Before coming here, I stopped by Lancaster, where I won the US Women’s Open." She continued, "I also met friends who receive support from the scholarship foundation I run, played rounds with others, and participated in fundraising activities," saying, "I received good energy and feel mentally refreshed. I have prepared hard for golf and I think I can play positively this week," smiling brightly.

Jeon In-ji aims for her first win of the season at the Meyer Classic.

Jeon In-ji has participated in six tournaments this year but her best result was a tie for 18th place at the Chevron Championship, a major, in April, without any wins. After competing in the Hanwha LifePlus International Crown, a women’s golf team competition, in early last month, she did not play in any tournaments for over a month. Jeon explained, "Due to inflammation in my lower back, I put down my clubs and focused solely on treatment for about three weeks. After that, I consistently did weight training to build muscle."

Jeon In-ji is aiming for her first win of the season and her fifth career victory at the Meijer Classic. She said, "The course conditions at Blythefield Country Club seem to be the best I have played on in any year so far," adding, "I am very excited because I can play in good condition." Next week, she will attempt to defend her title at the major KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. She stated, "As the defending champion, I will participate next week. Since it is the tournament I won last year, it holds a special meaning," and expressed her determination, "I have prepared to play in the best possible condition. I want to perform well this week and then compete in the next tournament."
