Yoon Ina, 21, has made a remarkable return to the golf scene, proving that her star quality remains undiminished. Despite an 18-month hiatus due to a penalty for a delayed report of an infraction, her sharp shot-making skills have made her long absence seem inconsequential.

Her performance has been consistently impressive, securing three runner-up finishes. Yoon’s standings are also noteworthy: she ranks fourth in player points, fifth in prize money, firsr in average birdies, second in average score, second in greens in regulation and second in top-10 finishes.

In an interview at the High1 Resort Country Club in Jeongseon County, Gangwon Province, the site of the final tournament of the first half of the 2024 KLPGA Tour season, Yoon reflected on her comeback.

“Honestly, I didn’t expect to perform this well so quickly,” she said. “I had a fairly long break and distanced myself from golf for a 토토 while. But within a short period, I’ve been competing for wins and making the cut.”

She expressed immense satisfaction with her high ranking in top-10 finishes. “I’m incredibly pleased with my performance. If I had to rate it, I’d give myself a perfect score of 100 out of 100.”

Yoon returned to the golf scene in early April at the Doosan E&C We’ve Championship, starting the season with a bow to the gallery on the 1st hole of the 1st round.
