[Asia Economy Kim Hyun-jun, Golf Specialist Reporter] ○…'Golf Queen' Park In-bee (32, KB Financial Group) switched to a lightweight golf bag for her 'caddie husband'...

At a press conference held on the 6th at Blue One D'Aners Golf Course in Gyeongju, a day before the opening of the Orange Life Champions Trophy, she said, "Actually, I wanted to use a stand bag since last week's Jeju Samdasoo Masters, but my husband (Nam Ki-hyeop) insisted for the sake of pride," adding, "The weather was hot, and after carrying the golf bag for four days, I was completely exhausted." She added a message of encouragement, saying, "This time, since it is held in my hometown Gyeongju, I will be more motivated."

Caddie Brad Butcher (Australia) is facing complicated visa and self-quarantine issues due to COVID-19 prevention guidelines, so her husband is temporarily acting as the caddie. Park In-bee is especially the host of this tournament. The 'overseas alliance' active in the LPGA Tour and JLPGA Tour will clash in match play against 'Team KLPGA,' members of the Korean Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) Tour.

It is also interesting that Lee Bo-mi (32) will have her actor husband (Lee Wan) as her caddie. She is also famous as the younger sister of actress Kim Tae-hee. Due to repeated disruptions caused by COVID-19 in the JLPGA Tour, she is competing in the KLPGA Tour this year and has been on the rise recently, including a tie for 9th place at the Jeju Samdasoo Masters. She said, "Of course, I brought a lightweight golf bag," and expressed high hopes, saying, "Since this is the first stage with my husband, I want to make good memories."
