Next up...HanaBank LPGA Championship from Incheon, S.Korea


The SKY 72 GOLF & RESORT Ocean Course will be host to this week's LPGA HanaBank Championship in Yeonjongdo, Incheon. This resort proudly boasts the world's largest driving range known as "Dream Golf Range" in the Guiness Book of World Records! It is known as Korea's largest Golf Club, with four 18-hole golf courses.

This weeks tournament will be the 9th for HanaBank. Na Yeon Choi is the defending champion, who is also taking a climb up into the top 6 of the Rolex Rankings!

Na Yeon Choi won on the 18th hole last year, when Maria Hjorth dropped her ball into the water. This season, Na Yeon Choi has had 11 Top Ten finishes and one victory. She's had 19 starts in 2010 with only 1 missed cut. Her driving average in 254.2 and scoring avg 69.94.


Se Ri Pak was winner of the innaugural tournament, Grace Park won #3 and Suzann Pettersen was winner of #6.

You can go to the official tournament site and click on the "course" heading and then "course strategy", to see each and every hole. It's really one of the best tournament sites I've ever reviewed! This Ocean course plays 7,275 yds and was designed by Jack Nicklaus.

Television coverage will be on the GC, Oct. 29th-31st from 12:00 - 2:00 PM ET.

Juli Inkster is listed in the final field for this weeks tourney; I will be rooting for her to get the WIN after her great play in Malaysia at Sime Darby, when it came down to the final hole and her pitch out of the sand took her too many feet from the pin for a par, to get her into a playoff spot with Jimin Kang.
