"From the table to the green, it is a challenge and wonderful journey. I hope that more people can join this journey, and I will look forward to meeting you in the next hole."

On August 2, Feng Shanshan posted a post on social platforms to bid farewell to the players. Draw an end to her career, but as "Mrs. Golior", she will continue to work hard in this industry.

Ten years ago, Feng Shanshan won the LPGA Championship championship

Show the potential to knot the mountain

When she was a child, Feng Shanshan was thin. Under the leadership of her father Feng Xiong, in order to strengthen her body, she tried to swim, tennis, skating and other campaigns, but she was not good at. Until one day of the age of 10, Feng Xiong, then the leader of the Guangzhou Youth Golf team, took her to see the older brothers and sisters for the first time. Under the guidance of a coach, she was the first time. It shows his own potential and has joined training since then.

In the National Youth Championships a year later, Feng Shanshan, who trained only one year, won the second place in the country.

Since then, Feng Shanshan officially has the idea of ​​becoming a professional player, and her father's cherishment of her daughter's talent for her father has also strictly asked her -from the third grade, the TV at home has almost nothing to do with her, occasionally, occasionally, occasionally, occasionally, occasionally, occasionally, occasionally, occasion Look, the content is also a golf game. It is also by watching the game that Feng Shanshan knows that the best professional athletes are on the professional tour, and she also wants to set foot on this field.

In the following years, Feng Shanshan achieved excellent results in the National Amateur Tour and Queens Cup. In 2004, he won the championship of the National Amateur Tour in 2004. It became the youngest champion in the history of the industry. By 2009 This record was broken.

At the age of 17, when he was in high school at the South China Normal University, Feng Shanshan decided to go to the United States to prepare for the LPGA (American Women's Professional Golf Association) Qualification Exam about the following year. Prior to this, she was a member of the Chinese Golf National Team.

IGJA (International Youth Golf Academy) gave her a full scholarship. In China, she was studying for one or two hours in the afternoon and one or two hours in the afternoon. She had made her feel unable to make progress, so she went to the United States to go to school.

Young people stay in the United States and worry

Even if there is a full scholarship, Feng Shanshan, who goes to IGJA, is still under pressure. The cost of living and the cost of participating in the competition is not a small number. , Make parents in the country move the mortgage housing thoughts.

In the five days of the last level of the last level of the LPGA Qualification Tournament, parents Feng Xiong and Zheng Yuyan who were far away in China had always thought about it. On the last game day, due to jet lag, Feng Xiong has been waiting for the news on the other end of the earth all night. At four o'clock in the morning, the news of "Ninth Square and getting a full card" came from the other side of the ocean, and the two were so excited that it was difficult to sleep.

Later, when I thought of it, if the card was not admitted in the first year, the Feng family's life would be stretched. In the first year of her daughter in the United States, all the savings of Feng Xiong and his wife 20 years after marriage have bottomed out.

In 2008 as a newcomer just entered LPGA, Feng Shanshan experienced a difficult journey and it was difficult to reach the finals. Often, the second round of the game was eliminated on Friday, which also meant that he could not get the bonus. The five -year Korean sponsors made her not be too bad among the players.

In the first year of being committed to the card, Feng Shanshan believed that her strength was at the end among all players. In the unlimited game, she would watch how the players who were leading the field played. The disk continuously improves itself until the card guarantee is successful.

In the second year, Feng Shanshan's status declined, ranking 75th, and almost slipped from the first 80 and went back to participate in the qualification examination. What really gave her confidence was the JLPGA daily tour that decided to participate in the fourth year. At the 2011 Japanese Tour of the Meiji Cup, Feng Shanshan won his first professional championship.

In 2012, Feng Shanshan won the LPGA Championship

"I didn't feel that my play was very good. It was that my opponent did not play well. Before that, I changed my career for three and a half years. That champion made me feel that I was still competitive after I transferred my career, and I could still win the championship. "

In the following three years, Feng Shanshan ushered in a period of development. In the 2012 LPGA Championship (Grand Slam), he won the championship and completed his LGPA championship at one time. Essence

Change the history of playing history

In the 2016 Rio Olympics, Feng Shanshan successfully entered the top three of the golf project, winning a bronze medal for the Chinese delegation, creating history. In the first half of that year, due to the unsatisfactory results, Feng Shanshan's world ranking fell from the top ten to 14th and 15th, which also directly prompted her to change the method for the first time.

"I think repeatedly and find that there are mainly psychological problems and pressure, so I dare not fight. At that time, I was 27 years old. Many players with good grades were less than 20 years old. They were holding a fight. burden". At that time, compared with the top three young players around the world, she became more conservative due to the accumulation of experience. In the offensive, more obstacles such as ponds and sand pits would be estimated. "My advantage is that the long rods in the offensive are accurate. Then I changed the play and became more aggressive. One month before the Olympic Games, my feelings came back. number……"

Recalling the moment when the Lanwan Masters Tournament reached the top of the country, Feng Shanshan is still unforgettable: "Some other achievements can be achieved, and some people can do better than me, but it became the world's ranking. That person, this is a kind of affirmation and recognition. "In that game, Feng Shanshan won the championship with Thai player Molia with a faint advantage of one shot. "".

For her, it is a common thing in overseas competitions. In the local competition, it is more precious for this honor to be accompanied by more relatives and friends.

Willing to be a "little white mouse"

Feng Shanshan mentioned in a public interview more than once that he was the "little rapper" of Chinese golf.

"I have accumulated a lot of experience in these years, hoping to help young people, even if they just shorten their time to increase the time, the success rate increases by 1%, I think it is worth it.".

After the Shaanxi National Games last year, Feng Shanshan became the coach of the Chinese Golf Women's National Team at the invitation of the Chinese and High Communities. In fact, she established her own golf college a few years ago to cultivate young players. She also tried to appear to say that she broke the stereotype of golf in the hearts of the public as the noble movement, although she had been unwilling to appear under the conservation light of the media outside the field.

In 2015, Feng Shanshan's women's European tour in Shanghai

According to data from the China -high Association, the number of registered young people in China has increased from 3,000 in 2015 to more than 100,000 today, and the competition has increased from more than 30 games to 817 games.

Who will pick up the pole after turning?

After retiring, Feng Shanshan's recent identity is the head coach of the National Women's Team of the Hangzhou Asian Games. In this team, someone will take her mission.

On the LPGA arena, there are seven mainland players in mainland China. Among them, the world's highest ranking is Feng Shanshan's Guangdong team's same teacher Lin Xizhen, ranking 33rric in the world, and so far, the youngest woman in mainland China has so far. Professional players -at the age of 14, they were selected as the national team, 15 -year -old transfers, and at the age of 16 won the first professional champion in the European tour.

Lin Xizheng

Lin Xizhen, who joined LPGA in 2014, watched her sister Feng Shanshan practicing at the practice field since she came into contact with Golf. She has always been a "little fan girl". In Lin Xizhen's description, Feng Shanshan has been helping him to progress.

Before and after the Tokyo Olympics, Feng Shanshan also told Lin Xizhen that she hoped that she would take the position of Chinese high ball "one sister" to do better and continue to affect more people to pick up the club to the field. This is also the responsibility that Lin Xizheng hopes to bear.

Now that the Hangzhou Asian Games is approaching, Lin Xizhen has won the silver medal at the Guangzhou Asian Games 12 years ago. At the age of 26, she was going to carry the beam. Her best results in LPGA were the runner -up of the LGPA regular season in March this year, and the top ten of the US Open last year, there is still a distance from Feng Shanshan.
