Yoon Ina, Who has been 'Runner-up 3 Times', Wins a Trophy After 4 Months of Return
KLPGA Samdasoo Masters Winner: "Many people were disappointed because of my mistake, but I overcame it thanks to the support of fans" Tears
No one could have predicted that Yoon Eana (21), who had been out of the game for 1 year and 9 months due to a penalty for playing a bad game, would wear the championship jacket again so soon.
Yoon Ina, who once said, “The only way to express my apology is to do my best in every tournament,” announced the return of the queen with her first win since her return. 안전한 파워볼사이트
Yoon Ina shot a 2-under 70 in the final 4th round of the Samdasoo Masters on the KLPGA Tour held at Jeju Blackstone GC (par 72) on the 4th.
Yoon Ina, who recorded a final total of 14-under 274, lifted the championship trophy by 2 strokes over the group tied for 2nd place, including Bang Shin-sil, Kang Chae-yeon, and Park Hye-jun.
Yoon Ina, who shed tears immediately after winning, said, “I disappointed many people because of my mistake,” and “I have mixed emotions because this is my first win after overcoming it thanks to the support of my fans.”
Yoon Ina, who returned to the domestic opening match in April, won her first victory at the Ever Collagen Queen's Crown in July 2022, and has now won her second career victory in 2 years and 1 month.
She added 180 million won in prize money, raising her prize money ranking to 2nd place.
She also rose to 2nd place in the target points ranking.
How did Yoon Ina return to being the best player despite her long hiatus?
First of all, her perseverance made her who she is today.
Even though she knew she wouldn't be able to play for a while due to the disciplinary action, she didn't give up on her dream of becoming a professional golfer.
During the disciplinary action, she maintained her sense of the game by participating in small US tour competitions, and she devoted herself to practicing for more than 10 hours a day.
The second is concentration. Yoon Eana was able to remain unshaken by the explosive interest and various eyes surrounding her after returning from the disciplinary action because of her high concentration.
The source of her concentration is her mental management that has become routine, such as writing a diary to organize her day and reading to eliminate distracting thoughts.
The third is the desire for growth.
Yoon Ina was not satisfied with the title of 'Long Hit Queen'.
This is why she focused on accuracy rather than long hits that made her name known this season.
A source close to Yoon Ina said, "She focused on practicing her weak points, short game and putting" and added, "She has a strong will to become an excellent player in all aspects."

Paris Olympics, Why is Only Sun Yingsha Cheered
“Why is Only Sun Yingsha Cheered?”… Why is there Biased Cheering in the Women’s Table Tennis Final [2024 Paris Olympics]
Women's Table Tennis Singles Finals: 'Family Fight'
Ranked 4th Chen Meng Defeats 1st Sun Yingsha.
Sun Yingsha's Fans Say "One-sided Support for Sun Yingsha Even Stopped the Match"
The controversy over distorted fandom culture has surfaced in the 2024 Paris Olympics table tennis women's singles final, which attracted attention as a match between Chinese players. 카지노사이트 추천
In the Paris Olympics table tennis women's singles final held at the South Paris Arena on the 3rd (local time), world No. 4 Chen Meng (China, 30) defeated No. 1 Sun Yingsha (24) 4-2 and won the gold medal.
Chen Meng won the singles title for the second consecutive time, following the last Tokyo Olympics.
During the match, the majority of the Chinese audience chanted "Sun Ying Sha."
Although all the players who made it to the finals were Chinese players, they showed biased cheers only for a certain player.
Hong Kong media outlet Phoenix News reported that "80% of the audience chanted "Sun Ying Sha, fight!" and "Chen Meng, fight!" could be heard once or twice."
Every time Sun Yingsha scored, the stands would roar, but on the other hand, when Chen Meng served or won a point, Sun Yingsha's fans would boo, and some would even wave their fingers and swear, causing the match to be halted.
After the match, when Chen Meng went up to the gold medal podium, many of the spectators also chanted Sun Yingsha's name.
Phoenix Wang, a reporter who was on the scene, said, "A French AFP reporter even asked, 'Why is everyone cheering for Sun Yingsha and not Chen Meng?'"
According to Phoenix News, an overheated fandom culture is emerging among fans of Chinese table tennis players.
The media explained the reason why Sun Yingsha fans are keeping an eye on Chen Meng, saying, "If Sun Yingsha wins, she will have achieved the fastest Grand Slam for a Chinese player in 433 days, and will be the first 'post-00' (born after 2000) to do so."
The scene that day also caused controversy among local table tennis fans in China.
On social media such as Weibo (the Chinese version of X), criticisms followed, such as, "Chen Meng had a hard time" "They are all players fighting for the honor of China, so why are they heckling her like this?" and "'Sisa' (Sun Yingsha's nickname) is a good player, but her fans are so malicious."
Singaporean media outlet United Zoubao also criticized this on the 4th, saying, "This is the emergence of a malicious fandom culture," and analyzing that a phenomenon often seen in entertainment industry fandoms has spread to the sports world.
The Chinese government is also wary of the deformed fandom culture of its sports fans.
In a meeting last May, the General Administration of Sports of China announced a policy stating, "We must resolutely block fandom culture throughout the entire process, including athlete selection and training."
Mens Basketball Team Under Ahn Jun-ho Achieves its 1st Win
MEN'S BASKETBALL TEAM UNDER AHN JUN-HO ACHIEVES ITS FIRST WIN… FORGET HANGZHOU AND MOVE TO ‘ONE TEAM KOREA'
Coach Ahn Jun-ho “The players' attitude as national team players has changed… sense of duty and responsibility”
Kim Jong-gyu looking back on the ‘Hangzhou disaster' “There were various internal problems”
Coach Ahn Jun-ho of the Korean men's national basketball team, who reported their first win with a 34-point victory, was satisfied, saying that they had taken a meaningful first step towards ‘One Team Korea'.
The national team led by Coach Ahn defeated Thailand 96-62 in the second round of Group A of the 2025 International Basketball Federation (FIBA) Asia Cup qualifiers held at the Wonju Sports Complex in Gangwon-do on the 25th.
This is the first win since Coach Ahn, who took office last month, debuted as the national team coach. 파워볼사이트
For Coach Ahn, it is also a victory that marks his return as an on-site leader after 12 years away.
In his debut match away to Australia on the 22nd, he unfortunately collapsed at the end of the game and lost 71-85.
Coach Ahn said at a press conference immediately after the match against Thailand, “After we decided on the slogan ‘One Team Korea', we shared our goals with one mind and one heart.
I emphasized the spirit of being willing to sacrifice one's own glory for the team's success.”
Coach Ahn, who looked back on the big win and smiled, said, “All the players were starters for each team, so they were almost exhausted after the 4th round (KBL).”
He added, “It took 24 hours to go to Australia and 24 hours to get back, but are the players complaining? “There was none,” he praised.
He said, “As a national team player, my attitude has changed.
I played with a sense of duty and responsibility.”
Korea, which was reorganized under Coach Ahn, overwhelmed its opponents with defense from the beginning of the game.
Players such as Oh Jae-hyeon (SK) and Byun Jun-hyeong (Sangmu), who are considered to be among the best in Korea with physique, speed, and strength, increased the intensity of pressure, and forwards such as Song Kyo-chang (KCC) and Kang Sang-jae (DB) also advanced to the front and harassed the opponent.
Thailand's main guns, Frederick Lisi and Moses Morgan, who were struggling under pressure, made a irritating argument during an inbounds pass about 5 minutes before the end of the first half.
Korea, which dominated the rebounds by 48 to 31, also caused 17 mistakes by the opponent.
Immediately after the rebound, the attack speed was especially increased, with a well-organized movement that allowed the player to immediately move into the opponent's half.
Thailand, which struggled against Korea's ‘fast basketball', was dragged by a gap of more than 20 points in the first half alone.
Ha Yoon-ki, who grabbed the most rebounds (14) on the day, looked back on the offensive work and described it as “an attack that goes over (to the opponent’s side) within 3 seconds.”
Coach Ahn said, “Our players are said to be tall at home, but when they go to the international stage, they have to overcome their height disadvantage.
The starting point is strong defense,” and added, “The trend these days is fast basketball.
Increasing the speed of offense and defense is the color of our team.” He emphasized.
He continued, “I think that if more accurate and detailed organizational skills are added, we will become a cohesive and quite good team.”
Veteran center Kim Jong-gyu confessed that the ‘team spirit’ emphasized by Coach Ahn could not be found at the Hangzhou Asian Games.
Kim Jong-gyu, looking back at the last Asian Games, which finished in 7th place, the lowest ranking in history and was even self-deprecatingly called the ‘Hangzhou disaster', said, “It's a shameful story, but there were many bad things internally at that time.”
He added, “We reflected on that and talked to the players about not repeating the same mistake when they reconvened”
