Taipei, Aug. 2 (CNA) Taiwanese veteran golfer Yani Tseng (\u66fe\u96c5\u59ae) said she was proud of herself for making the cut at the Women’s British Open in Wales — the first time she has advanced at a major LPGA tour in seven years.<\/p>\n
“I’m proud of myself because I never gave up,” Tseng told reporters after completing the second round on Friday.<\/p>\n
A two-time champion at the British major, the Taiwanese shot an even-par 72 in the first round. In the second round on Friday, she carded four birdies and five bogeys to finish with a 1-over 73, tying in 35th position alongside 17 other players.<\/p>\n
It was the first time she made the cut at an LPGA event since the 2018 Swinging Skirts Taiwan Championship.<\/p>\n
Tseng said she is excited to make it this far and wants to enjoy the rest of the tournament, not knowing what kind of result to expect.<\/p>\n
“After all, it’s been a while since I’ve played into the weekend. I hope to play more aggressively and do my best,” she said.<\/p>\n
The Women’s British Open format is a 72-hole stroke play tournament that starts with 144 players. The lowest 65 and ties after 36 holes (two rounds) advance to the weekend.<\/p>\n
The Taiwanese player, who had been battling injuries and mental slumps over the past few years, said it took her a great deal of effort to get back to this point.<\/p>\n
Tseng jokingly described her relationship with golf as a love-hate one, but said she still enjoys the sport.<\/p>\n
“I’m still passionate about golf. I want to see the best version of myself and return with good performances,” she said.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Taiwanese golfer Hsu Wei-ling (\u5f90\u8587\u6de9) is also competing in the tournament and tied for 19th after two rounds on Friday.<\/p>\n
