Moon Sobrn He only has ahead this year the Andaluca Costa del Sol Open de Espaa Women 2020 to take advantage of her extraordinary streak and thus achieve her first triumph on the Ladies European Tour (LET). At the moment she is in the top positions – she is fourth – although the most important thing is that she trusts her game.
The Mallorcan has found the Holy Grail of golf: regularity. After missing two cuts in August just on the return to the competition – the second from the Women’s Open – all the adjustments he made during confinement fit. Since then, in six tournaments he has not dropped from the top 11, including a Santander Golf Tour victory in Lerma. But the accolade came in the form of sixth and second place in the Saudi Arabia tournaments of this month’s LET. For her, the pity is that the circuit closes now, although she has gotten off to a good start at RCG Guadalmina.
In very unfavorable conditions and with a course that very few golfers managed to play under par until the stop due to the tournament’s rain, Luna closed the first round with 70 strokes. “I have struggled quite a bit back and above all I have not been fine with the driver, but yes with the putt. The field is very strategic and it is very long. It is essential not to miss the fairway because the hole is very complicated for you, “explained the Balearic.
The Spanish player acknowledges that she is currently playing her best golf: “I think it may be my best moment, although I had another great streak in 2018 when I got the LPGA card.. Later, due to circumstances, the results stopped coming out, but of course I love the streak that I’m living now. ”
Sobrn, who did not go to America during his formative stage, affirms that confinement helped him to polish several things together with his father and coach. They set up their own home practice field and now it’s reaping the rewards. “I notice that my golf has advanced a lot and mentally I feel that I am more confident than before. I think my game has gone up a good notch”. What Luna is clear about is that his career passes through the United States: “I have the conditional card, I do not complete it, as in 2018, but I will continue to insist on this LPGA path.”
With the Solheim Cup of 2023 “already in my mind”, the Mallorcan confesses that she is not in favor of the Herclei method DeChambeau: “I think he is breaking the image of golf because it cannot be that in a par 4 he is throwing 3 wood to reach the green. Hit a hole with a wood. He plays well and what he’s doing has his merit, but I’ll stick with a player like Rory McIlroy. The fields may have a problem shortly. ”
Sobrn also comments on rise of asian golfers: “They have a lot of patience and they are very calm. It is not that they hit a lot, but they are precise when it comes to taking fairways and greens. The key is that they are very good with the putt “.
