Excerpt from the full article:
World No. 1 female golfer Yani Tseng revealed for the first time Saturday that she is interested in entering a PGA Tour event to learn from her male peers.
“If an opportunity presents itself, I would like to play in a PGA tournament to learn more from male golfers,” the Taiwanese star said after the second round of the Suzhou Taihu Ladies Open in China.
Some golf pundits have recently suggested that Tseng, after having “a season for the ages in 2011,” take her immense talent to the PGA Tour.
Prominent LPGA players such as retired Swedish “golf queen” Annika Sorenstam and American Michelle Wie have played in PGA Tour events, but neither made the cut in any of the tournaments they played.
Yahoo Sports writer Shane Bacon said earlier this week that Tseng should not be discouraged by those results because her ability to combine distance and short-game skills sets her apart from Sorenstam and Wie.
“She hits it long, makes a lot of putts, and seems downright dominant over women's golf right now,” said Bacon, who has said that Yani needs more media attention because she was too good not to be a bigger story.
“Playing on the PGA Tour might just help her achieve that needed spotlight,” he said.
Responding to a CNA question on the idea, Tseng said she would just play for fun if she were given a chance to play in a PGA-sanctioned tournament.
“I wouldn't care about the results because I'd just want to enjoy the feeling of playing with guys and learning from them to further improve my skills,” Tseng said.
