The 36-year-old has won 15 PGA Tour titles in her career and has been in the world for 109 weeks, but has been hampered by injuries in recent years. Even so, Nini never gave up, except for surgery to solve the injury problem, and continued to look for coaches to help improve her skills, hoping to get back to her old skills.
Shin Ji-ae, who is one year older than Zeng Yani, came to Taiwan to compete again this time, and she said that she had not come to Taiwan to compete for a long time, and she was looking forward to it and a little nervous. Referring to her relationship with Nini, she said: "We met 20 years ago, but most of the competitors of our generation have retired, but Yanni continues to work this path, which is very touching to me, and I will always cheer for her." ”
Zeng Yani revealed that the two had already played 9 holes together on the 24th, "We talked all the way and mentioned that many young players don't know each other anymore, which is very different from the past PGA Tour events." But seeing them is like seeing myself when I was younger, and it brings back the joy of playing in the first place. She said that Shin Zhi-ae has not been to Taiwan for a long time, and she will definitely do her best to take her out for a walk after the competition.
In order to prepare for the new season, Zeng Yani has gone to the United States to practice football before, correct her lack and continue to strengthen her state, hoping to play well at that time. She is no stranger to the Oriental Golf Club, she thinks that the greens are difficult after the weather, and the distance of the course is relatively advantageous to her, she jokingly said that she hopes to make a hole-in-one and take the car home.
