Yani Tseng shared a new goal during her media conference Tuesday at the Sybase Match Play Championship at Hamilton Farm Golf Club in Gladstone, N.J.
Tseng, who has won 15 times around the world in the last 15 months, wants to be a larger factor every time she tees it up.
“Yes, I think that’s one of my goals this year, because last year, even though I won 12 tournaments, I had lot of tournaments where I finished 30th, 40th. It’s kind of very up and down.
“So this year, I tell myself, I want to be more consistent. If I don’t win, I want to be top 10, top 20. I don’t want to be way over, or almost missed cut, or playing badly.”
Tseng is seeking to win the Sybase Match Play Championship for the first time. She made it to the quarterfinals the last two years before being eliminated. As an amateur, she won match-play formats claiming the U.S. Women’s Amateur Public Links and the North & South Women’s Amateur in 2005.
Though Tseng is dominating women’s golf, she said she doesn’t believe she has reached the level of former No. 1s Annika Sorenstam or Lorena Ochoa.
“I don’t feel like I’m like a Lorena or Annika yet, because this is just the beginning for me,” Tseng said. “I want to be like them in the future. I want to do more, more out of the golf course. I don’t want to just be a good golfer. I want to be a good person, like Annika, and Lorena, too. They helping out so much for the LPGA, and so many people around the world. I wish I could be like that in the future, and that’s kind of my goal.”
