Yang Hee-young did not apply for the Q series.

LPGA.com introduced on the 30th that Yang Hee-young will serve as a caddy for Jennifer Song, a Korean-American who is a friend of the same age and a long-time LPGA tour colleague.

Jennifer Song, who was born in the United States while her father was an exchange professor in the United States, completed high school in Korea, but acquired American citizenship after graduating from the University of Southern California (USC).Her Korean name is Song Min-young.

Jennifer Song ranked second in the money rankings of the second division tour in 2010 and advanced to the LPGA tour the following year, but has not yet tasted victory.

This year, he only ranked 155th in the prize money rankings and 149th in CME Globe points, so he lost his tour card for next year.To play on the LPGA Tour again, you must rank in the top 20 in the Q Series.

Holding up the trophy after winning.With her total of 27 under par at 261, Heeyoung Yang won the final match of her LPGA 2023 season.

When Jennifer Song, who hit Bae Su-jin, asked Hee-young Yang to serve as her caddy in the Q Series, Hee-young Yang responded without hesitation, “I will do so,” LPGA.com reported.

He explains that it is because he is more than happy to help his friends in the most difficult game called the Q Series.
