Team Bridgestone is on fire this year.... Even Lee Yewon and Park Hyunkyung sweep 4 out of 9 tournaments

[Financial News] Team Bridgestone is showing signs of a big hit. Thanks to the performances of its sponsored players, it is already enjoying tremendous advertising effects.
Park Hyunkyung claimed her first victory of the season by winning the 13th E1 Charity Open without a bogey. With Lee Yewon and Park Hyunkyung of Bridgestone Golf securing three consecutive wins, Team Bridgestone has lifted the trophy in 4 out of 9 tournaments since the season opener, achieving a KLPGA win rate of 44.4%.
This year, the competition between the two players mirrors last year's pattern. In the first half of last year, Lee Yewon recorded two wins first, and Park Hyunkyung steadily accumulated victories from mid-May. The competition for the joint most wins between Lee Yewon and Park Hyunkyung continues this year.
Regarding the reason for their consistent good performance for two consecutive years, Lee Yewon emphasized the efforts during the winter training period. Bridgestone Golf recognizes the importance of winter training and spares no support for optimal results by dispatching tour managers to the field during the training period to analyze players' shots and check clubs. Bridgestone Golf's support for winter training receives high satisfaction from players every year, to the extent that players directly request support.


Lee Yewon and Park Hyunkyung share the commonality of using Bridgestone Golf's 241CB irons. In particular, Park Hyunkyung ranked first in greens in regulation in this tournament, contributing significantly to her 'no-bogey' victory with an impressive record of 87.04% (1R 77.78%, 2R 100%, 3R 83.88%).
The 241CB iron is a tour iron released by Bridgestone Golf in November last year, a premium forged iron that embodies Bridgestone Golf's technology. Its unique feel of forged iron, compact head shape, and sole design receive high praise from many pros.
The unique design of the 241CB iron, which features a thin central back face and redistributed weight vertically, maximizes spin, workability, and feel. Park Hyunkyung expressed satisfaction in a Bridgestone Golf interview advertisement, describing the unique feel as 'like it's perfectly hit'.
The 'Tour Contact Sole' design, which cuts three sides of the sole, allows for consistent shots on various grasses and lies. Bridgestone Golf adjusts the cutting angles of the leading and trailing edges for each number to implement sharp shots.
Meanwhile, Bridgestone Golf is holding an O, X quiz event to commemorate Park Hyunkyung's first win of the season. The event will run from May 26 (Monday) to June 1 (Sunday).
