The only LPGA Tour BMW Championship in Korea will open tomorrow.

We are interested in whether Yoo Hae-ran and Yang Hee-young, who are responsible for our players' two wins this year, can win their second championship of the season in front of domestic fans.

The best women's golf players from all over the world are practicing ahead of the opening.

BMW Championship, the only LPGA tour held in Korea.

The world's No. 1 Nelly Koda of the U.S. and No. 5 Ko Jin-young were missing, but the rest of the top 10 were all gathered.

As we meet domestic fans in person, our players are more desperate to win than any other competition.

Yoo Hae-ran and Yang Hee-young, who are responsible for one win each this season, will take the lead.

[Yoo Hae-ran / LPGA Tour player: It's an honor to be able to contribute one out of two wins, and I'll do my best.]

[Yang Hee-young / LPGA Tour player: Winning her first major this year gave her confidence, and she's having fun playing in front of her family in a Korean competition that comes once a year...]

The strongest candidates chosen by the athletes are Lydia Ko and Lee Min-ji, who are writing autumn fairy tales from the gold medal at the Paris Olympics to two more wins on the tour.

Ko will win in 2022 and both will try for the second time at the tournament, where she and Yoo will face off in a hot shot match in the same group from day one.

[Lydia Go / LPGA Tour Player] I think it's a special and precious competition for me in many ways. I hope you get good results this year, and I think I should repay you with better performances because you support me more than other years.]

Im Jin-hee, who ranks second in points for the LPGA Rookie of the Year, will also face Japan's Saigo Mao, who ranks first, in the same group.
