Rolex Player of the Year Award: Inbee Park gains 114 points to stand fourth
South Korean Inbee Park, who is seeking to become world number one golfer, has gained 114 points to stand at the fourth position on the Rolex Player of the Year Award list.
On the money list, Park has already grabbed the first spot and is looking to do the same for the Player of the Award 2012.
Arguably, Park has not been the most dominant player on the LPGA (Ladies Professional Golf Association) Tour, but she has certainly enjoyed through the 2012 season as has been able to clinch
a victory at the Evian Masters 2012.
Now, after the recent development on the Rolex Player of the Year Award list, the South Korean star is beginning to build up quite a profile that will indicate that she is one of the best
contenders on the LPGA Tour.
In addition to seeking a top spot on the Rolex Player of the Year Award list, Park also wants to knock current world number one Yani Tseng off the top spot. However, for that to happen, Park
will have to work harder than ever before as she now will have to battle not just Tseng, but players like Stacy Lewis can also prove to be a big threat.
Although the LPGA titan has improved position in the world rankings, she still has to do much in order to gain more points and victories. Currently ranked sixth in the Women’s World Golf Rankings,
Park has come out as one of the biggest threats, but her putting and swing need more improvement.
American Stacy Lewis, who currently ranks second in the Women’s World Golf Rankings, is standing strong at the top post on the Rolex Player of the Year Award list.
Lewis has done better than any other contender in the 2012 season as she has won three tournaments, bringing the number of her top-ten finishes to 14 — something that has helped her beat all
the players so far.
According to the LPGA schedule for the year 2012, there are still six tournaments remaining, which indicates players have many chances to improve their positions in the world rankings.
The first of the last six events, Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia 2012, is going to be held from October 11, with the participation of almost all the big names.
