Many women know the feeling. Sometimes, something just has to change. Mi Jung Hur had that moment following a third-round 80 at last month’s LPGA Drive On Championship. She walked off the course at Golden Ocala frustrated, knowing that she needed to do something to shake out of the funk.
So what did she do? What so many women do when they need a change—she chopped off her hair.
“I got to change something, so I just cut my hair,” said Hur with a laugh. “Everyone loves it.”
With a new chin-length and blonde-streaked bob, Hur embraced the change not only to her appearance but to her game. The four-time LPGA Tour winner blazed around Aviara Golf Club on Saturday, carding a 5-under 67 to move into a tie for second. Hur said she knew she had to take advantage of a course that was set up 312 yards shorter than it was on Friday.
“It was really great out on the course. Driving was good, I was struggling with my irons but my putting dropped pretty well,” Hur said. “Most of holes they move the tee forward and we have to go aggressive few holes, and I made birdies those kind of holes. That takes me up to second place.”
