The dream of "Birthday Boy", Yuan Yechun looks forward to basing himself on the PGA Tour
A few days before his 25th birthday, yuan Yechun's wish list for birthday gifts did not include the "championship trophy". It's not that he doesn't want to win, because it's hard to get the PGA Tour membership card in the highest possible ranking in a few months, without a few Korn Ferry Tour championship trophies in hand.
What happened next became another powerful footnote in the history of China's golf development. In the final round of the Louisiana Open, Yuan Yachun caught 7 birdies at the Triumph Golf and Country Club, swallowed only 1 bogey, shot a 65, and equalled the 54-hole leader, American Pete Yulai, and then pushed into the 12-foot putter on the first overtime hole to catch the birdies, and when Pete Yule missed the 6-foot putter, Yuan Won.
2022 is Yuan Yechun's fourth year on the Korn Ferry Tour. The resume of 59 games makes him in a sense a "veteran" of the light tour, and he has studied overseas and fought for many years, presumably he has countless birthdays outside, but at the age of 25, I think it is his "sweetest" birthday.
"Before the game, Luo Ying (Yuan Yechun's wife) said that there are a lot of very good players who can win the championship in the birthday week, and I think you can too," Yuan Yechun exchanged with the Chinese media across the ocean on the phone on the monday night after winning the championship, "The belief has always been there, even if there are still a few disadvantages at the beginning of the last round, but she has not given up her faith in me this week." ”
After winning the championship, Yuan rose to the top spot in the Korn Ferry Tour standings — at the end of the regular season, the top 25 players will receive membership cards for next season's PGA Tour. At the same time, this victory allowed him to win 14 world ranking points, which is also the highest single world points obtained by Yuan Yichun in his career, and his world ranking has also climbed from 290 to 177 at the peak of his career, which is the first time that Dalian Guy has broken through the top 200 in the world rankings, and he has also joined Wu Ashun's ranks as another Chinese mainland player who has entered the top 200.
"This victory is indeed not easy to come by," Yuan Yechun said in an exchange with the reporter of "Satellite Golf", "I think it should be more of a psychological construction to help me more, because I know that I definitely have the strength to win the championship on the tour, and I don't need to play my best state every week to win the game." In fact, there is this mentality, sometimes after their own mistakes. It's easier to calm down because you know that it's just a broken fight, and you won't lose the possibility of winning because of this shot. ”
Prior to this, Yuan Yechun had won the runner-up on the Light Tour four times, and he was already preparing for the PGA Tour. Last November, he passed Monday's qualifying tournament to qualify for the RSM Classic. Although he did not qualify, the experience gained on the PGA Tour was very beneficial to his impact on the membership card. "My current habits are closer to the training habits of PGA Tour players," Yuan said, "PGA Tour players have more bonuses, and they can hire better teams, including accompanying rehabilitation engineers and the like." I don't have any of this now, but I am also training in this area and have help in this area. ”
This week, Yuan Yichun traveled non-stop to another stadium in Louisiana to prepare for the seventh leg of the new season of the Guang tour. I wish Yuan Yechun, the next journey, smooth sailing!
