Look for the Korean team to carry forward Korea’s domination of the World Ladies Championship this week.

This year Jin-young Ko and Jung Min Lee, who both have four wins on the Korean LPGA Tour, will make their debut in the US$800,000 event.

Ko is best known to Western fans as the runner-up to Inbee Park in the 2015 Ricoh Women’s British Open, where the 20-year-old from Seoul lost a three stroke lead on the back nine of the Ailsa Course at Turnberry.

Both Ko and Lee recently represented the Korean LPGA Tour in The Queens presented by Kowa, where Lee was undefeated and Ko won two of her three matches.

Look for Ko to contend in the individual stroke play and to give the Korean team an edge in the team competition.
