A Lim Kim: Winning Without Pressure

No one, (not even Koreans) expected A Lim Kim would win the US Open today. With harsh conditions, most players looked so frustrated and tensed, except A Lim Kim. She looked very relaxed.

That is her style. I’ve watched her play many times at KLPGA. She was not that impressive. Mostly, she didn’t look competitive. I remember once she said she is always so excited to come to golf courses. She is the type of players who enjoy golf as a game. That seemed the key for today’s win.

She wasn’t one of my favorite players. It looked her over-friendly and over acting personality sometimes bothered some players. I didn’t like her swing, either. But her swing looked so beautiful today. She must have changed her swing since I last remembered. Also, a lot calmer than usual. What a great play today! 10th Korean winner for last 16 year US Open.
