"Goodbye back injury trauma" as a healthy Jang takes on second LPGA challenge

After traveling to the United States to study golf at a young age and gaining experience, Jang realized her dream last year when she joined the LPGA's second tour, the Epson Tour, ranking 10th on the money list and bypassing the Q-Series.

However, it was a back problem that held her back from her dream LPGA career. With only one top-10 finish in 12 tournaments this season, the Portland Classic, Jang was forced to return to the Q-Series to secure her LPGA seeding a year after her debut.

And after six hellish rounds, she did just that. At the LPGA Qualifying Series in November last year, Jang finished tied for seventh, earning her a full LPGA seeding for this season. She did this despite playing with a bad back.

The chance to play on the LPGA again was too good to pass up. Immediately after the Q-Series, Jang decided to spend the off-season in her home town of Orlando instead of traveling for training. She focused on resting and taking care of her back.

He did not skip weight training for his back. He also did daily exercises to strengthen his core and pelvis, which are related to his back. Thanks to her consistent efforts, her back has improved a lot.

"I've gotten over it," Jang said of her back injury when speaking with Monster Gym at the Drive-On Championship, the opening event of the 2024 LPGA season. "I'm not thinking about the injury much anymore, so I want to finish the rest of the tournaments with confidence," she added.

"I like the weather, and I personally like places with warmth and water," he said, adding, "In terms of diet, I tend to eat out when I'm outside, but since I'm at home, I've been eating a healthy diet and taking care of it."

Did his off-season diet, rest, and 메이저토토사이트 rehabilitation pay off? Jang was 2-under par through two rounds and made the cut. He checked off one of his goals for 2023.

However, Jang has his sights set even higher. He wants to play consistently without back problems. "I want to compete in as many tournaments as I can this year," he said. "The next one is in China, and I have about a month before then. I will think about what I learned from this tournament and practice and refine my game."

Jang's journey to the LPGA is just beginning, and she doesn't want to miss out again.
