Yani Tseng learning from mistakes
Current world number one Yani Tseng is learning from her mistakes, and the next season is likely to see her in an aggressive form.
Tseng, whose star stalled during the first half of the 2012 season and it haunted her till the end, appears to have overcome what has been troubling her since her last victory at the Kia Classic
in March 2012.
Tseng belongs to Taiwan and still rules women’s golf as she has stood at the number one position in the Women’s World Golf Rankings for several months now.
In recent events, the Taiwanese star showed a much better performance as she recorded third-place finishes in two and a fourth-place finish in one LPGA tournament during Asian tour.
With most of the season gone wrong, three top-five finishes are not enough to put Tseng’s game back in motion, but she appears to be learning from lapses.
“You always learn something from the mistake, you learn something when you don't play well, and I figure that helping people, it makes me very, very happy,” said Tseng who notched up seven
LPGA title in the 2011 season—something that helped her overshadow most of the big names in women’s golf history.
“So now I realize I want to helping more juniors, I want to give it back. I want to do some charity event that makes me feel very happy because I feel like I'm very lucky that I'm playing
golf, living the dream, so I want to help some people living their dream, too”.
Her performance started to slump after she finished woefully at the Wegmans LPGA Championship in June. She faltered in all four rounds and made sloppy shots on most of the holes. However,
some observers had insisted that a 59th-place finish was not going to hurt her game.
Tseng got her second shock in the very next tournament—Walmart NW Arkansas Championship, as she failed to make the cut. Her fans, who were willing to give the top-ranked prodigy a chance to
be a little complacent, reacted to such a grim performance.
It was not enough as the LPGA giant still had not started taking the slump seriously and she thought she could regain her charisma with one victory.
She took part in the US Women’s Open—one of the major championships—in June. Her performance remained as shaky as it was in the previous tournament. She finished tied for the 50th
position.
Although Tseng was trying to fix her mistakes and had to focus on both short and long game, she still was not able to put an end her lacklustre stint.
The next two tournaments after the US Open came as the biggest shock to the golfing world, when once-fearsome golfer failed to make the cut yet again.
Tseng participated in the Evian Masters and Jamie Farr Toledo Classic with an aim to improve her performance, but she missed the cut miserably.
