Kemp and Cheng share McLeod ALPG Pro-am title

Liv 決定她的高爾夫球職業生涯要從澳洲開始打起,再回到美國繼續比賽,我尊重也認同她的決定。

澳洲對紐西蘭人來說雖然是出國卻又像是隔壁鄰居而已,大部份的文化習慣都相似,也許也覺得比較自在吧!就連澳洲的高爾夫球的職業賽都是紐澳一起排賽程一起算成績的。大部份的比賽都在春夏舉行,剛好是歐美的休戰季節,是很好的暖身起步。

而在Liv的高爾夫球比賽的歷史紀錄裡,澳洲是她開始拿獎杯的開始,那已經是2008年的事了,對她絕對是一個莫大的轉折點,從此比賽拿獎就成了「可能」之事,2009在紐西蘭和美國交出了漂亮的得獎成績,也因此榮獲高爾夫球獎學金赴美就讀大學,轉眼四年在美國為大學高爾夫球校隊效力,自2014年大學畢業後專心投入個人的高爾夫球職業選手準備。

這是她轉職業選手的第一個冠軍。

以下是轉載自在澳洲女子職業網站上對她的報導......

Kemp and Cheng share McLeod ALPG Pro-am title

 

 

 

After a dramatic finish to the McLeod Country Golf Club ALPG  Pro-Am, Australia’s Sarah Kemp and New Zealand rookie Liv Cheng will share the winners’ title. Heavy showers delayed the afternoon tee times by around 45 minutes which meant that both players finished in near darkness with 4 under par rounds of 70.

It was all hands on deck for the playoff, every vehicle in the car park was called to order to light up the 18th hole. The players went back to the tee to see if it was possible to play in order to get an outright winner. Even though it was almost completely dark, both players agreed to play,  hitting the green in regulation and two putting for pars.  After a brief discussion with all of the stakeholders it was agreed that there would be no further play and a tie would be the fairest result.

For Kemp it would be her first tournament victory on the ALPG since the 2010/11 season and she was delighted with the victory. “It is great to get back in the winners’ circle for sure. I have been playing some very solid golf the past few seasons without getting across the line so this is a real confidence boost heading into the season.” Kemp has spent the last few seasons splitting her time between the LPGA and Ladies European Tours, keeping her playing rights on both tours which is no mean feat. Many out there feel that Kemp is close to that big breakthrough and this victory could well spur her onto greater things in 2015.

For Liv Cheng, who turned professional in December 2014, the win is a fantastic boost to her fledgling career. Her compatriot Lydia Ko picked up her first professional victory on the ALPG tour at the Bing Lee NSW Women’s Open and Cheng will be hoping she can follow in Ko’s rather hefty footsteps. Her performance this week will almost certainly get her a start into next month’s RACV Ladies Masters, and will go a long way to getting her into the ISPS Handa Women’s Australian Open at Royal Melbourne in late February. Cheng and Ko played Junior Tasman Cup together and if Cheng’s form continues they may well be playing a practice round together at Royal Melbourne on the 17th February.
