Yangcheng Evening News reporter Liang Jinsong reported: 9 months after the birth of her daughter, the American star Wei Shengmei came back to participate in the LPGA Kia Elite, but unfortunately, the "witch" did not find her state in the first game of the comeback, and after two rounds, she was eliminated yesterday because of a bad record in Beijing time.
Wei Shengmei, 31, has been a focal point player for the LPGA. She won the U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links Championship at the age of 13; went to the PGA Tour at the age of 14 to compete directly with men's players; and since turning professional at the age of 16, she has won the LPGA championship five times, the most famous of which was the U.S. Women's Open on The Pine Grove 2 in 2014, and the last victory was the 2018 World Championship. But her career has been hampered by a series of injuries, especially on the right hand. She underwent hand surgery in October 2018 and announced her return from injury in February of the following year, but half a month later announced that she had retired due to a recurrence of an old injury. Wei Shengmei last competed in the U.S. Women's PGA Championship in Kurosawatin in June 2019, and then left the game due to injury, marriage, and having a daughter.
Due to the long time she took away from the LPGA, when she returned from the Kia Classic this week, she found that many of the contestants could not recognize themselves, one of the reasons was that everyone was wearing masks, and another reason was that the LPGA did add a lot of new people. In the face of the reporter's interview, Wei Shengmei revealed that she began to train hard from the first day of 2021 and looked forward to a comeback, because she has been suspended for a long time, she does not know what level of her skills are, "but I am very proud that I can train diligently and finally return to the field, these two days of training and competition I have enjoyed very much, I feel that all the nervous emotions have returned, I like this feeling, I hope to use this emotion to mobilize my own competitive factors and become the brave competitors I hope." ”。
But bravery alone obviously did not solve the problem, after really engaging in actual combat, Wei Shengmei almost repeated the mistakes of the last game (84-82 in the Women's PGA Championship in June 2019), and the first round of the comeback was a series of 81 strokes, and the two rounds were 8-word results, which were properly blocked out of the promotion line.
