“I think I want to come back to the game. “We played happily until the end with the support of our grateful fans.”
‘Smile Candy’ Lee Bo-mi has completed her 13-year journey on the Japan Ladies Professional Golf (JLPGA) tour.
Bo-mi Lee completed her farewell match in Japan at the JLPGA Tour Nobuta Group Masters GC Ladies (total prize money of 200 million yen) held at the Masters Golf Club near Kobe, Hyogo, Japan on the 20th.
Bomi Lee performed poorly in the first round at 11 over par, but performed well at even par in the second round, and ended up tied for 99th place.
Lee Bo-mi, who shed tears from the moment she stepped into the teeing area of the first hole and hit her tee shot, played with the support of about 1,000 fans until the end. Although it was a weekday and it rained, many fans followed Lee Bomi. Her fans chased after her, wearing her favorite pink t-shirt and holding her towel. Bomi Lee also wore a pink vest over a white pique shirt, and her fellow players, Momoko Ueda and the late Sakura Iwai, also showed their loyalty by wearing pink golf wear to support Bomi Lee’s final game.
Japan’s Nobuta Group, which hosts the competition, installed a ‘Lee Bomi Special Hall’ in front of the clubhouse during the competition to commemorate Lee Bomi’s retirement and new start. In the special hall, trophies and photos of competitions won by Bomi Lee were displayed and goods made to commemorate her retirement were sold. As soon as the door to the special hall opened, a scene was created where not only fans but also colleagues came and bought goods made to commemorate her retirement.
About 80 players from the JLPGA tour came together to celebrate Bo-mi Lee’s last days. Bae Seon-woo, a fellow Korean, said, “It’s sad and lonely. “I was hoping her sister would do a little more, but she’s heartbroken to hear that she’s leaving.”
Bomi Lee, who was the prize money winner of the Korea Ladies Professional Golf (KLPGA) Tour, joined the JLPGA Tour in earnest in 2011, causing the ‘Bomi-chan syndrome’ and receiving a lot of love from Japanese people.
After receiving the prize money title and grand prize on the Korea Ladies Professional Golf (KLPFA) Tour in 2010, Bomi Lee moved to the JLPGA Tour in 2011. Starting with her first win at the Yokohama Tire PRGR Ladies Cup in March 2012, she has won a total of 21 wins up to the CAT Ladies in 2017. reaped
