(2013年12月7日，新北市訊) 總獎金80萬美元的裙襬搖搖2013世界女子高球名人賽今天在林口美麗華高爾夫鄉村俱樂部繼續進行第二回合，受到風勢強勁影響，參賽女將桿數普遍上升，領先榜換人，世界排名第五的韓國選手柳簫然（So Yeon Ryu）今天推桿與切桿俱佳，抓下6隻小鳥丶1柏忌，打出低於標準桿5桿的67桿，以兩回合總桿低於標準桿9桿的135桿，搶登領先地位；16歲韓裔紐西蘭籍的高寶璟（Lydia Ko）射五鳥一柏忌，打出68桿，以兩回合136桿， 僅一桿之差緊追在後。她們是今天打出六字頭成績的唯二選手，也是兩回合都打出六字頭桿數的唯二選手。 昨日居首的韓國世界球后朴仁妃（Inbee Park）今天開球木桿丶鐵桿失手多，吞一「雙柏忌」丶三柏忌，只抓下一鳥，打出76桿，以兩回合總桿低於標準桿5桿的139桿，4桿之差滑落到第三位。 明天最後一回合決賽上述三位選手將在最後一組競技，於早上10:50開球，預期是一場可看性極高的激烈競爭。預計落後差距在6桿內的選手仍有機會爭奪冠軍獎盃與15萬美元冠軍獎金。 台灣球星曾雅妮今天距離感與賽感較差，賺少花多，兩個「雙柏忌」丶四個柏忌及二鳥，打出78桿，兩回合高於標準桿2桿的146桿，與今天打出76桿的業餘球員程思嘉同桿，並與另外四位外籍選手包括打出74桿的美國「粉紅豹」克萊茉（Paula Creamer）暫並列第18位，雖是唯二成績最好的地主選手，但已落後領先者11桿，明天搶冠機會渺茫。 日本選手穴井詩（Rara Anai）今天交出七71桿，以140桿，尚落後5桿，暫獨居第四。 首日並列第三位的韓國「漂亮寶貝」崔羅蓮(Na-Yeon Choi) 交卡不理想的75桿，與另一位揮出72桿的同胞白圭貞（Baek, Kyu Jung），同以兩回合141桿，暫並居第五位，落後領先的柳簫然6桿。   原與崔羅蓮首日並列第三的德國女將賈兒（Sandra Gal）打76桿，以兩回合低於標準桿1桿的143桿，暫並列第七。 兩天成績落差最大到14桿的蘇格蘭媽媽選手馬修（Catriona Matthew），今天的開球木桿與鐵桿都無法掌控地很好，交出不佳的79桿（昨天65桿），以兩回合平標準桿的144桿，從昨天的第二位落到第九位。 今天下午前天氣好到不行，氣溫22-23度，冬陽普照，吸引了大批球迷到現場看比賽，不過一整天球場風勢強勁，風速達每小時30-40公里，讓許多選手們揮桿準頭受到嚴酷考驗。 台灣球星曾雅妮今天賽後自承「打得很爛！幾乎沒有什麼比賽感覺，幸好有很多球迷的熱情支持，讓我保持比賽手感。她今天在第6洞及第15洞分別因打成出界球與下水，都苦吞「雙柏忌」，加上第14洞至第17洞、四洞之中就出現三洞的「三推」，四洞花掉5桿，造成「大崩盤」。 曾雅妮前9洞吞下一柏忌及一「雙柏忌」，39桿；後九洞也是39桿。她說，強勁風勢有影響，每一洞因「塞車」一直在等擊球，也影響了比賽節奏與體能耗損較大，不過自己的擊球距離掌握不佳，尤其是100碼內，而推桿的速度與方向判斷也較差，這都是明天需改進之處。 暫居領先的柳簫然表示，「今天的強風確實讓比賽狀況很嚴苛，不過比起前兩年的寒雨天氣，今天天氣算是很好了，很開心又滿意自己的表現。」今年尚未拿下一勝的她說：「賽前希望能贏得這場比賽的半開玩笑話，也許會成真，明天能與如同搖滾巨星的高寶璟爭奪冠軍，十分開心與興奮，也會是一場競爭激烈的比賽。」 而高寶璟則指出，「很榮幸今天能與兩位韓國前輩柳簫然、崔羅蓮同組，明天還將與朴仁妃決賽同組競技。今天她的鐵桿與推桿都給自己不少抓鳥機會，但明天的比賽會更困難，很難預料會發生什麼情況。」 明天最後一回合比賽，選手仍同時從第1洞與第10洞出發，第一組從上午8點20分開球，最後一組上午10:50開球。曾雅妮預計上午9:40從第1洞出發，與韓國女將趙允之（Yoon Ji Cho）及日本選手金田久美子（Kumiko Kaneda）同組。盧曉晴則將於8:50從第10洞出發。 So Yeon Ryu leads by one shot heading into final round at Swinging Skirts 2013 World Ladies Masters (December 7, 2013; New Taipei City) On a day when just about everyone including world no. 1 & overnight leader Inbee Park are dropping shots, 2011 U.S. Women's Open winner So Yeon Ryu of South Korea and teen phenom Lydia Ko of New Zealand are two of only a handful of players who are gaining ground. Ryu jumps to the top of the leaderboard in strong winds with a 5-under 67 for a total score of 135, 1 stroke ahead of Ko, who carded 68. Inbee Park, who looked almost unstoppable while setting a personal low-round record of 63 yesterday, lost her magical touch and tumbled to 76 and third place. Japan’s Rara Anai finished with 71 to come in at fourth place. With swirling winds gusting up to 40 km/h, Miramar G&C, which looked toothless in round one suddenly got the best of most of the elite field, as only seven players in the 95-player field managed to break par. “It was very hard to play golf in strong winds and my game today wasn’t exactly A+ or A, but my short game especially my putting on the front nine was great, and my chipping was pretty good,” said Ryu, who completed her impressive front nine in 31, has only one blemish on her score card when her short putt for par lipped out on the 15th green. “Tomorrow I will play with Lydia again, so it will be cool competing with a rock star.” Even though the strong winds slowed things down and protracted the round, Lydia Ko still had lots of fun with her two Korean playing partners. “We had some good chats when we were waiting. I am just super excited to play with So Yeon and Na Yeon (Choi); they are the rock stars.” Ko recorded 5 birdies against one bogey when her tee shot with a hybrid club ballooned in the air and landed 30 yards short of the green on the par-3 14th hole. “I am glad I gave myself a lot of opportunities out there. Even putting was hard in the wind, but we are lucky that it did not rain today. “ World no. 7 Na Yeon Choi also struggled in the wind today, managing to shoot 2-over 74 to tie for 5th with her Korean compatriot Kyu Jung Baek. Scottish veteran Catriona Matthew, who opened with 65 in round one, had 2 double-bogeys en route to 79, which put her tied for 9th place with Koreans Sei Young Kim and So Young Lee (a). Meanwhile, Taiwan’s ace Yani Tseng also had a long day, both literally and figuratively. Tseng pulled her tee shot out of bound on the treacherous 6th hole and hit her approach shot into water hazard on the 15th hole, both resulting in double-bogeys. 2011 winner Yani Tseng managed only 2 birdies to close at 78, tied for 18th place with 5 players including US star player “Pink Panther” Paula Creamer and Taiwan’s top amateur Ssu-Chia Cheng. “I have trouble with distance control all day. I felt like I didn’t play well today. But I am very appreciative that fans still came out to support me. The strong wind really slowed down the pace of play and we had to wait almost on every hole. So it’s physically demanding out here and I don’t think my stamina is still where I want it to be,” said Tseng, who is 11 shots behind leader So Yeon Ryu. Final round of the Swinging Skirts 2013 World Ladies Masters, a co-sanctioned golf tournament by both Korea’s KLPGT and Taiwan’s TLPGA, will commence from 8:20am onwards at the Miramar G&C. Yani Tseng is set to tee off from the first hole with Kumiko Kaneda of Japan and Yoon Ji Cho of Korea at 9:40am. So Yeon Ryu, who has ten top 10 finishes on the LPGA tour this season, will be shooting for her first win in 2013 tomorrow. Ryu will be paired with LPGA Player of the Year Inbee Park and Lydia Ko, who is only playing in her second tournament as a professional golfer this week. The elite trio will start from the first hole at 10:50am.
