Episode 8
Mi Soo!
- Mi Soo! - Mister!
Mi Soo!
- Tada! - Mister...
Dad...
Dad!
Mi Soo!
Tada!
Yahoo!
Mi Soo!
Mi Soo! Our Mi Soo! Our Mi Soo!
It's our Mi Soo!
It's our beautiful Mi Soo!
Wow Mi Soo is so pretty.
Hey it's our Mi Soo!
It's pretty Mi Soo!
Why didn't you tell me?
Why didn't you tell me about what happened to dad?!
Do you ask because you don't know? You have to go training camp.
If you knew about father do you think you could have peace of mind while training?!
And if I left without knowing and if I had found out later on...
Do you think I would be able to forgive myself?!
Where is Mr. Park?
It was an accident.
It had nothing to do with Mr. Park.
Why not?!
He's the one that coaxed Dad into going!
Then he should take responsibility!
I'll take responsibility.
It's my fault Father got on that boat.
He went because of the settlement price.
You want to say it's my fault, don't you?
Because I insisted that I continue playing golf...
That, that's the reason our dad became like this.
- Right? - Why are you so messed up?
It's my fault...
It's my fault our dad became like this.
Yeah it is your fault.
It's your fault so become a pro, earn lots of money, and succeed!
Become a big hit and make Father happy.
Mi Soo.
It's my Mi Soo.
Mi Soo.
Mi Soo!
It's fine.
Mi Soo! Mi Soo!
I'm sorry, but please terminate the contract.
I can't go. No, I quit golf.
- You quit? - I can't play golf.
- I'm sorry. - What are you talking about?!
Leave right now!
Please take her!
Please leave!
I'm positive now.
Golf isn't the path I'm supposed to take, Mom.
Mi Soo!
Mi Soo what in the world are you talking about! Why are you being like this!
- Mi Soo! - Father!
Mi Soo! Don't go! Don't go!
My dad is like this because of me.
I can't play golf. I'm sorry.
Go!
Dad let's go inside.
Alright, alright, alright! Let's go!
Mom!
Thank you so very much for setting up such a hard match.
This is a great opportunity to allow Hae Ryung and our resort to take a step forward.
I was lucky as well.
Yang Ling said it bothered her that she was being compared to Min Hae Ryung.
This match was easily set up due to Yang Ling want to use this opportunity to show her dominance.
Hae Ryung still lacks experience.
And I worry about her being able to hold her usual composure when rounding with international golfers.
When I saw her earlier it didn't look like Hae Ryung even smiled at Yang Ling.
You could say the match already began.
This is your first Korean match.
Will this match be the beginning to your Korean activities?
I'm positive I gave you a warning last time.
Young Min...
If you would like an interview please officially request one through the Super Match Organization.
I'll do that.
I'm sorry.
Excuse me Mr. Jay Park, I plan on asking to do an in depth story about the Super Match.
Will I have to be stopped by this person every single time?
You should follow around the players.
What's there to write about by following around a promoter.
I believe many people will be interested in the behind the scene information too.
I'm Park Eun Joo, reporter for Sports Korea.
She's a quite well known journalist that focuses on golf.
It's too bad you aren't smiling...
Oh well.
Have you seen Coach John Lee?
I thought he would come to the press conference...
Let us go.
Why are you here?
Weren't you supposed to go see Teach today?
She said she's no longer playing golf.
What?
Sung Mi Soo's father came back but he seems to have been seriously injured.
His condition is very bad.
I don't think Steamed Bun will do.
Steamed Bun is home, right?
Where do you think you're going?!
I thought she wasn't supposed to know you set this up!
Mi Soo...
Must you continue playing golf?
The words that you're a promising star...
Your mom has brought you this far despite me being against it.
Let's quit now.
I'm sorry dad.
But I...
But I want to continue...
I want to continue playing golf, Dad!
Dad...
I'm sorry Dad.
Mi Soo's dad, Mi Soo's dad!
What are you doing.
Oh my Dad! Hold on...
Yes.
The exterior impact seems to have caused a frontal lobe injury.
In most of these cases there is memory loss.
And they become unable to control their emotions as well as becoming more stubborn.
He must take medication and needs psychological stability.
He was already stubborn...
It worries me that he's going to become even more stubborn.
Dad is going to get better really soon.
I'm going to make sure he gets better quick.
Don't worry about your dad. You just go to training camp in a few days.
I'll talk to Mr. Kang.
Mr. Sung Kyung Hwan's medication is ready.
Thank you.
Let's go Mom.
Let's go Dad.
Will you do as I say!
Let's go.
Try taking off your shoes.
My last recommendation wasn't bad, right?
Trust me again and try it out.
Once again, you won't regret it.
If you step on the green without shoes you'll feel rises and drops you can't see with your eyes.
The bare feet reads the undulation.
How is it? Can you feel it?
The green will play with your feet, Hae Ryung.
Enjoy it and play along.
You have to buy me a drink.
It's been a while since we had dinner together.
Are you not going to marry Danny?
Why do you think that?
All your men that would change with each day...
Ever since Danny came that all stopped.
Even when I returned from the States he was still here.
Don't you think you're making him wait too long?
Do you love Danny?
Do you by any chance, need a Dad?
Why would I need a Dad that I've never had for the last 20 something years?
Why would I need a husband that I've never had for the last 20 something years?
I don't need a husband.
As a woman I just need a man.
That fits you.
You're practicing hard for the Super Match, right?
This match must be real important to you, seeing you even invited a greens keeper from the States.
Greens keeper? Did Danny tell you?
He's a unique person.
It's the first time I've seen a greens keeper that walks around bare foot in order to check the grass condition.
Send him back? What are you talking about?
He's not a green keeper that fits our golf course.
Find a different person.
I had a hard time bringing him here.
Though it may have been hard, he was the wrong choice.
Send him back.
I don't want to.
- Danny-- - You haven't even see him take care of the green.
You still have time to send him back after you confirm it with your own eyes.
He's been checking the grass since the day he got here.
He's very serious about his job.
Why are you being stubborn?
Because I don't understand.
How do you know that person after seeing him just once?
And you President, how do you know him without ever seeing him?
It's not just about science for him.
Sometimes he goes along with nature and other times he fights against nature.
I believe he's a person that shows affection and care for each piece of grass.
I don't think there is anyone out there that could be a better fit with our golf course.
- Danny-- - This time...
Please trust me.
Because I'm positive of it.
I'll bring him to meet you.
If you meet him in person, you'll probably change your mind.
Because he's a good person.
You don't need to do that. I don't want to meet him.
You must be measuring the green speed.
How's your condition?
I've bet $10 on tomorrow match.
- I guess I have to win then. - Okay!
I'll buy dinner with the money I win.
What a very unique ball marker.
It's the only one in the world.
S.H...
Who is it?
The person you love?
- The person I used to love. - You broke up?
Why did you break up when you still love her so much?
It's a funny story.
I don't know the reason either.
One day I just lost it all.
Love and my job...
Maybe even myself.
I must be getting old too.
Blabbing about the past.
I check the greens and it seems you're going to have to raise the green speed a bit.
If I had a choice I would like to completely redo the green and make one unique to Won Resort.
And this location is hilly and snows a lot in the winter.
I've concluded that you need a sub wear machine to keep the temperature of the green constant.
That way the grass receives less stress when we cut it shorter in order to increase green speed.
Do that.
I'm busy.
From now on speak to Mr. Choi about everything else.
I hear Mr. Sung came back.
Yes. How did you...
Is he injured badly?
He hurt his head a bit.
And Mi Soo says she won't play golf.
She must think it's all her fault that her father got injured.
There is even a CEO that wants to sponsor my Mi Soo.
It was a good opportunity...
I don't know if she's just going to give up like this...
Ma'am.
We will not release the game rules for the Super Match between Yang Ling and Min Hae Ryung!
Today's match will be a 3 club challenge!
The game rules have finally been revealed.
What exactly is 3 club challenge?
The player will choose only 3 clubs out of 14 clubs.
They will play the rest of the match using just those 3 clubs.
It's not a loss even if you lose this match.
Don't feel burdened.
I never thought I would lose.
Then that's a relief.
Which player advantage?
Rather than Min Hae Ryung's elaborate shots...
I think it would be more advantageous to Yang Ling who shoots further.
It would be nice if Yang Ling would show Min Hae Ryung her place!
Caddy Gong Sook why are you like that.
If Hae Ryung loses the after storm is bound to hit the resort, don't you think?
Of course! Of course!
Hold on, Dad!
Wow my dad is a total stud now that you washed your face!
- The best! - The best!
Alright Dad is all clean.
Where should we go?
Shall we go to your old work place?
Or should we go eat black bean noodles?
Black bean noodles? Nice!
Alright, let's eat black bean noodles!
Mi Soo!
Mom, what are you doing here at this hour?
Along with Joong Ki?
Let's go. Leave your father with Joong Ki.
- Where? - You'll see.
Tell Mi Soo to make sure and watch the match.
If she says no then please drag her here and make her watch if you have to.
It'll help Mi Soo.
No!
I'm going to go out with Mi Soo for a little bit.
Stay with Joong Ki for a little bit.
Yeah, Mi Soo will be right back.
No!
Mi Soo's dad!
Where is it? We can go with Dad.
Go together! Go together!
Choosing of the clubs.
Yang Ling, please choose your clubs first.
She chose the putter!
She chose the pitching wedge!
Yes, she chose the 3 wood!
The Witch of the Spoon chose wisely!
Min Hae Ryung will choose her clubs next.
As expected, she chose the putter.
Her caddy, John Lee has chosen for her.
He chose the 56 degree wedge.
He chose the 6 iron!
Yes, what will the last club be?
He chose the driver!
It looks like Min Hae Ryung finds this unexpected too.
A driver that is only needed during the tee shot and to play without a putter...
Is this possible?
For Min Hae Ryung to play without the putter when she's all about putting...
I think she has the intention of putting with a driver.
Play without a putter.
What do mean? There's a broom putter right here.
You definitely need a sand wedge. You know there are lots of bunkers around the green.
After it was announced the match would be a 3 club challenge...
The Europeans have raised Yang Ling's chances of winning from 59% to 87%.
And Hong Kong?
A 93% chance of Yang Ling winning.
Send in 600 million dollars to Hong Kong.
Yes sir.
Not on Yang Ling. Bet on Min Hae Ryung.
Excuse me?
I said to bet 600 million on Min Hae Ryung.
In Hong Kong they have set Min Hae Ryung's chances at 7%.
That means the winnings will be that much higher.
That's true but Min Hae Ryung can't win--
Min Hae Ryung will win.
I believe John Lee.
The distance for the first hole is relatively short.
Yes it's a par 4 hole at 326 meters 360 yards.
Yang Ling also known as the Witch of the Spoon...
I'm looking forward to seeing how far she hits.
Wow that's quite the distance.
She's hit it 280 yards with the 3 wood.
It's went much further than the average drive shot of most female players.
She really is amazing.
If there is too much of a difference in distance with the first tee shot...
It can be very psychologically daunting and make a player unstable.
It's now obvious why Coach John Lee chose the driver.
It was just slightly shorter than Yang Ling but this isn't bad at all.
This is Min Hae Ryung's second shot.
Her swing looked good.
Yes it's on the green.
It seems very close to the pin.
Her swing is smooth.
Yes it reached the green.
Mom. Mom, why are we here.
I said I quit golf.
Do you think I brought you here to play golf?
You do know that Yang Ling and Min Hae Ryung are playing today, right?
And you should know that you compete very much like Yang Ling does.
I brought you here so you could watch and learn.
Even if it wasn't Yang Ling and it was Park Sae Ri instead, I still wouldn't be interested.
Dad, let's go eat noodles.
- Dad! - Mister!
Just like an international match this game has been very close up until now.
Before the match started most people believed Yang Ling would win.
But as soon as it started the match has been a close one.
A lot of people came to watch today.
Hey look. Even your father is happy.
We're here anyway let's watch a bit, alright?
- Hey Joong Ki watch over him. - I will!
John Lee and Min Hae Ryung have a long history ever since they were young.
They both trained in the States together for the Golf Dream Tree program.
This handsome couple looks especially tender today.
It's a birdie. This is a great start for Yang Ling.
Just as expected, Min Hae Ryung is putting with her driver.
The only club you can used in substitute of the putter is the driver.
The loft angle of the driver is almost a perfect right angle.
It seems Min Hae Ryung is planning on the use the driver as a broom putter.
This is a distance that could definitely be a birdie if a putter was used.
I'm very curious what the outcome will be when using a driver.
If she doesn't make this hole then Yang Ling will lead one up.
It looks good...
It goes in! Wow!
That was a clean birdie using a driver!
A birdie for a birdie! All square thanks to Min Hae Ryung's birdie!
Yes that's right. This is a 3 club challenge with matchplay rules.
At first it was very odd.
But this is making the viewers nervous too.
The 6th hole is a longer par 3 hole.
A pitching edge won't take it onto the green.
To add on there is a pond and a bunker in front of the green.
I think Yang Ling will attempt a short hit with the 3 wood.
Golf!
You can't be noisy. Please quiet down.
- I'm sorry. - Please be quiet.
Dad a match is going on.
The gallery is a bit loud.
Players lose their concentration even with just a little noise.
- It's Kyung Hwan, Kyung Hwan! - Oh my it is!
Oh my then...
That Tae Gab or something, the good looking kid must have come too then?
Yang Ling is once again preparing her tee shot.
She's very careful.
It seems she's calculating on sending the ball on the green with a short hit using a wood.
But if she uses a wood there's going to be a lot of run.
It didn't stop and has gone slightly pass the green.
But Yang Ling should have no problem ending it in a par.
This is a great opportunity for Min Hae Ryung.
If she's able to end it in a birdie chance...
She will finally be able to take a one hole lead.
A tee shot using the 6 iron.
The distance is a bit too much for the 6 iron.
Min Hae Ryung isn't a player that is known for her strong hits.
This distance is a little too much for Min Hae Ryung to hit with a 6 iron.
Yes she hit it. Oh it's look a tiny bit short.
It had a bit of run and was able to reach the green!
Go Min Hae Ryung!
Good job!
Pay attention.
I was planning on going anyway. It seems her father is very ill.
Mr. Coach. I'm asking you pay some attention to my playing.
Sorry.
You're still not used to broom putting so don't over do it.
Just make up the distance and put it twice to end in a par.
- Alright? - Thanks.
I'm sorry!
It's already the 11th hole and yet it's still an all square.
It really is an amazing fight for the win.
Yes that's right.
It truly is unbelievable that they are playing with only 3 clubs.
Yang Ling...
She easily hits it onto the green.
Her direction is great too!
This is a distance that will be hard for Min Hae Ryung to finish with 2 putts.
She hit it...
- It looks good. Will it go in? - The directionality looks great...
- It went in! - She really is amazing!
Yes she truly is amazing.
It looks approximately 20 meters. It's unbelievable that it actually went in.
Training is definitely essential but this really is a shot only a prodigy could have made!
Min Hae Ryung's sense of the green could only be explained by her prodigy senses.
Yes that's right she really is great!
Min Hae Ryung is one up on her 14th hole.
Min Hae Ryung ends it in a par.
What'll go well with Hae Ryung's win?
The match is still going on but you're already thinking about winning?
It's Hae Ryung. This will be nice.
It's already the 17th hole. It's currently a dormie.
If Yang Lin loses this hole then the match ends with Min Hae Ryung winning.
If that's the case this hole may be the most burdensome hole for Yang Ling.
Yang Ling's tee shot...
It's slightly off of the fairway. This hole must definitely be burdensome for her.
Yes I believe she had a bit of a psychological burden on her.
The area of Yang Ling's 2nd shot isn't very good.
You can empty out your head and hit it comfortably.
I call the right side of the fairway.
If Min Hae Ryung wins this hole then the match won't continue to the 18th hole and Min Hae Ryung will win.
That's right. She needs even more concentration.
S...H...
Who is it?
The person you love?
The person I used to love.
- It's going towards the right. - This is...
It's entering the gallery!
What just happened?!
The ball hit an umbrella in the gallery and bounced into the fairway.
Wow it seems she's quite lucky.
So things like this does happen.
Dad! No, Dad.
What is this?!
Someone in the gallery grabbed Min Hae Ryung's ball and has begun running!
This really is unbelievable!
Things like this usually happen in baseball games...
But here it is happening on the golf course.
What's he doing now?! Where is he running to?!
Dad, Dad don't you have to go?!
Why?!
You're security, Dad!
That's right! I'm security!
I don't want to! Let go! Let go!
- Let go! - Move!
Get away!
Move!
Dad, are you okay?!
Dad...
Let's give them the ball.
Mi Soo... Golf...
It's okay Dad.
Can you sing right now?!
You're crazy, you're crazy!
How can you run out there?! You're killing me, seriously!
What were you guys doing?! I told you to hold onto him tightly!
Did you get hurt any where?
The police will be here soon. Let us go.
Police?
Wait excuse me...
Just look at him.
He's not right in the head.
Gong Sook's dad stop staring and say something!
It's procedure to allow the police to take over.
Don't worry. What in the world could happen to him!
I'm just worried you'll be fired over this!
In any case when we get to the station just smile like hell alright?!
What happens in situations like this?
If we check the angle and direction the ball was heading it was out of bounds.
But the ball hit an umbrella in the gallery and entered the fairway.
By golf rules...
A ball that hits a bystander, in this case the gallery, and enters the fairway then it can still be played.
But if the ball was intentionally moved by a gallery then it will have to be decided by the association.
Min Hae Ryung is dropping. Min Hae Ryung is very lucky!
Yes that's right. If it was out of bounds then Min Hae Ryung would have had no choice but lost this hole.
Then she would have had to fought for a win on the last hole.
Then Yang Ling may have had the psychological advantage.
This may seem very unfair for Yang Ling.
Yes, as expected it's on the green! Min Hae Ryung has recovered!
The 18th hole is a par 5.
Yang Ling with 2 spoons.
She's preparing for an eagle putt.
She proves why she's called the Witch of the Spoon.
If she makes this then she'll be one up and the score will be all square.
Yang Ling proves why she's the LPGA's best player!
Yes, Yang Ling will have to make this putt.
Will her eagle putt go in...
That's really unfortunate.
Yang Ling ends the final hole with a birdie.
With this luck is on Min Hae Ryung's side.
If Min Hae Ryung makes this birdie then she wins.
Such a distance is usually the hardest psychologically.
Aside from the distance the line is a really hard double break.
Min Hae Ryung is carefully examining the path.
Is she stopping because she's nervous?
Min Hae Ryung is taking off her shoes.
Even her socks. Why is she doing this?
This really is a unique scene.
It seems she may want to sense the green with her whole body...
If that's so then Min Hae Ryung really is an amazing player.
Try taking off your shoes.
The green will play with your feet, Hae Ryung.
Enjoy it and play along.
