Se Ri Pak is the most influential figure in the history of womens' golf. After she won the US Open as a rookie, Korean golf went from a ripple to a tidal wave!! Their love of the ❤ game and dedication to it are to be envied and admired. Women's golf in South Korea is so popular that the players have fan clubs!! If womens golf in the United States was as popular, the women would be making twice what their male counterparts do. All across Asia, that same mindset pervades everything they do. Dominant womens players thrive because of their overwhelming adherence to one critical stat. STROKES GAINED APPROACH!! The most important stat in golf is how accurate the approach shot is to the green. The closer the approach, the easier it is to pile up pars and birdies like cordwood. SIMPLE AND FUNDAMENTAL AS THAT. This ingrained feel is why Scottie Scheffler is dominating the mens games as well. Power is an advantage. Yet, no stat trumps Strokes Gained Approach. And no stat ever will. When western players commit totally to this mindset the gap will close. But, not until. The race is on.
