‘Great Attitude’: LPGA Star’s ‘Class Act’ at the $2.3M Event Makes Golf Fans Fall Head Over Heels

The life of an LPGA Tour player is no walk in the park. There are multiple events throughout the year that affect the ranking and the qualification chances for next year’s Tour. Moreover, there is also added pressure from fans who swear by the star’s performance. Surely, it can get a little overwhelming. One golf pro, however, has figured it all out.

Playing at this week’s $2.3 million championship, the 3-time LPGA Tour winner revealed that her mantra is deceptively simple: “All you can do is what you can do.” And playing with that maxim, she’s won over the entire golf world!

The LPGA veteran shares her secret to staying calm and worry-free

Christina Kim loves playing at the Walmart NW Arkansas tournament. So much so that the veteran golfer raced back from Spain, where she was doing commentary for the Solheim Cup, to play this tournament. Speaking to the press after yesterday’s match, the LPGA star, known for her outspoken personality, was candid about her performance.

Although tied for 27th on the leaderboard, she is calm and composed. “All you can do is what you can do,” she said with a smiling face. “I missed a little six-footer out here. It’s all good.” The veteran golfer, at the late stage of her career, is prioritizing the joy of going out on the greens over winning a tournament.

Currently ranked at 163, Kim will be hoping to finish within the top 100 to secure her status for the upcoming LPGA Tour. But even that doesn’t put her under any pressure. “I can go out there and have a great day and get lapped by everybody, and I may not end up moving,” the 37-year-old golfer further added.

Since the Walmart NW Arkansas championship began being played in 2007, the three-time LPGA Tour winner has missed the tournament only once in her career. Arguably, it’s her positivity and strong resolve that keep her going. And for exactly that, she’s amassed a massive fanbase who couldn’t help but shower her with love yet again!

Christina Kim’s words win over the internet

Kim’s comments can also be read in a larger context. The golfer has never shied away from speaking about issues she feels very strongly about. Her latest comments are also indicative of that. Fans, too, recognize her struggle and how she tackles these problems.

Kim’s attitude has drawn the ire of a certain section of netizens. At the same time, there is no dearth of admirers who lap up her efforts. One well-wisher commented, “Great attitude CK.” Another fan, hoping that this attitude will reflect on the greens as well, wrote, “Great attitude! Keep it up through the weekend.”

Her fanbase extends beyond her country, as one user from Canada wrote, “My wife are I are cheering you on her at Ontario, Canada. You are a great player and even better ambassador of the game.”

The veteran golfer, too, recognizes the love she receives from her fans. As one fan recounted an encounter with her, “She’s awesome. Met her a few times and was amazed she remembered my name.”

Kim’s bold and outspoken personality has earned her applause before. With her simple yet effective mantra, she seems to have won over the hearts of golf fans once again.
