[이데일리 스타in 주영로 기자] It was not easy for Park In-bee (33) to win the Olympics for the second time in a row.
Inbee Park hit an even par 71 with a birdie in the third round of the women’s golf team at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics held at Kasumigaseki Country Club (par 71) in Kawagoe, Saitama Prefecture, Japan on the 6th. Park In-bee, who was unable to reduce the number of strokes and recorded a 3-under par 210 in the interim, was 12 strokes behind Nelly Corda (USA), who led the team at 15-under at 1 pm. With only 18 holes left in the last 4 rounds, it is virtually difficult to come back by 12 strokes. It was 7 strokes behind the 3rd place medalist, so it was not easy to hunt for medals for the second time in a row.
After the game, Inbee Park said, “I really liked today’s shot and had many birdie opportunities, but the game on the green was terrible.” “It was so bad that I didn’t want to go back to the course.” He continued, “It has to be seen as a skill that I can’t putt for three consecutive days like this.” “Today was a very disappointing and exhausting day for me.
Inbee Park made a lot of mistakes on the 11th hole, unlike the putt sense she had shown while playing on the LPGA tour, to the extent that she could not even put a 1.5m birdie putt on the 11th hole.
He confessed his frustration, saying, “It seems sloppy to give reasons, but if you look closely at the slope, the speed is not right, and if the speed is right, you can’t read the slope properly,” he confessed. He also expressed his regret once again, saying, “There are once or twice a year that I don’t go to this crazy tournament, but I never dreamed that it would be this week.”
Although he has moved away from the leading competition, he also expressed his determination to do his best until the end. Park In-bee vowed, “If I play on the last day, I hope it will be a day to finish with a little better putt.”
