INCHEON, South Korea – As soon as Na Yeon Choi stepped out of scoring after her first round at the KEB Hana Bank Championship, she was swarmed by her adoring fans at Sky 72 Golf Club.
And let’s be clear: the use of the word swarmed is not mere hyperbole. This was bees to honey. Koreans love their women’s golf more so than the men’s game, as a matter of fact. When it comes to the pursuit of selfies and signatures, they have no issue with invading one’s personal space. Choi, for one, took it all in stride.
