FIELD OF 32 SET AS PLAYERS CONFIRM THEIR AVAILABILITY FOR THE 2018 UL INTERNATIONAL CROWN IN KOREA
July 16, 2018 LPGA News UL-INTERNATIONAL-CROWN
"DAYTONA BEACH, July 16, 2018 – With the third edition of the UL International Crown less than three months away, players from the eight competing countries have confirmed their availability to take part in the biennial event that will be held this year at Jack Nicklaus Golf Club Korea in Incheon City."
A total of 31 of the 32 players who qualified are set to compete in the third playing of the UL International Crown October 4-7.
"The confirmed team lineups are: Republic of Korea (Sung Hyun Park, So Yeon Ryu, In-Kyung Kim, In Gee Chun); USA (Lexi Thompson, Jessica Korda, Cristie Kerr, Michelle Wie); Japan (Nasa Hataoka, Ai Suzuki, Misuzu Narita, Mamiko Higa); England (Charley Hull, Georgia Hall, Jodi Ewart Shadoff, Bronte Law); Australia (Minjee Lee, Katherine Kirk, Sarah Jane Smith, Su Oh); Thailand (Ariya Jutanugarn, Moriya Jutanugarn, Pornanong Phatlum, Sherman Santiwiwatthanaphong); Sweden (Anna Nordqvist, Pernilla Lindberg, Madelene Sagstrom, Caroline Hedwall); and Chinese Taipei (Teresa Lu, Wei-Ling Hsu, Hsuan-Yu Yao, Candie Kung)."
"The lone player who qualified and will not participate is Inbee Park. The seven-time major champion, who has reduced her playing schedule over the past two years, wants to give another golfer from Team Korea the chance to represent her country in front of her home fans."
"It was my pleasure and honor to participate in the first UL International Crown in 2014 and at the 2016 Olympics, and I cannot describe in one word how amazing the atmosphere was to compete as a representative of my country,” said Park. “There are so many gifted and talented players in Korea and I thought it would be great if one of the other players was given the chance to experience the 2018 UL International Crown."
"Replacing I. Park on Team Korea will be two-time major winner Chun, who joins S.H. Park, Ryu and Kim as the four representatives for the top seed and tournament host of the 2018 UL International Crown."
"Two players from the Republic of Korea (Hye Jin Choi and Jin Young Ko) were ahead of Chun in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings on July 2 when the teams were announced but both declined based on prior commitments to compete in the Korean Ladies Professional Golf Association major that week."
