While the US Open Champion and Others Succumbed in the $1.75M Race, Morgane Métraux Spills the Secret Behind Her Survival

The LPGA is now preoccupied with the 2023 Kroger Queen City Championship. The Ohio Kenwood Country Club is the venue for the event. The top players are vying for an incredible $1.75 million, and the winner takes home a sizeable $300,000. Peiyun Chien of Taiwan, who is attempting to win her first LPGA Tour event, holed out for eagle on the sixth hole on Friday to shoot an 8-under 64 and take a four-shot lead.

But some top golfers have missed the cut. This includes 2023 US Open Champion Allisen Corpuz as well as Jennifer Chang. However, Swiss golfer Morgane Métraux is making headlines because of her exceptional game at the event. And she spills the secrets behind her game. Let’s dive in!

26-year-old golfer’s decision-making at the centre of her great show

This year, Métraux will aim to surpass her tenth-place finish at the 2022 Kroger Queen City Championship. In the past year, she has played in 21 events. Her average finish was 36th, with two top-10 finishes, and her best finish was fourth.

After round two, Métraux addressed the media and discussed her game. A reporter brought to her notice she had had just one bogey over the first two days and how she managed that. The Swiss golfer credited her decision-making for making very few errors.

”Been hitting a lot of 3-wood, 5-wood, trying to stay out of trouble as much as possible, use the widest parts of the fairways, and then stay on the correct side of the pin; land it short when needed,” said Métraux. ”So mostly just decision making,” she added.

She also talked about her birdies, how she maintained her composure while playing, and how she continued to hit fairways and greens without much trouble. Everything was pretty fun for her. Let’s see how her career has turned out since turning professional.

Métraux’s amazing professional career so far

Soon after graduating from college in 2018, Métraux began her professional career. Her first professional win came on the 2021 Symetra Tour. In the final round, she overcame a three-shot disadvantage to emerge triumphant. “My putting worked really well. I made several long and medium-length putts. That doesn’t happen every day,” said Morgane Métraux.

She received an exemption into the 2021 Evian Championship thanks to the win. In 2022, Métraux obtained a fully exempt card for the whole LPGA Tour season. Last year, she also won the Ladies Italian Open.

She has been going strong since then. Now let’s see whether she will be able to grab her first maiden LPGA title at Kenwood Country Club. As of now, she is the red-hot favorite, no doubt about that.
