The South Korean Golf Song

They call her 'JJ', she's 25, her English is hesitant and she has yet to win an LPGA tournament, but South Korea's Jeong Jang has shot three rounds in the sixties at Royal Birkdale to lead the Weetabix Women's British Open by five shots. She will play the final round with world number one Annika Sörenstam, yet she seems remarkably relaxed. When we asked her to introduce herself, she broke into song!

Original music and lyrics by Peggy Lee and Sonny Burke

[If you would like musical accompaniment, please click here]

I am South Korean if you please,
I am South Korean if you don't please,
I'm a former resident of Dae-jeon,
Now in newspaper I'm on page one.

I am South Korean only five foot two,
Please observing swing and shots that I can do,
Now I'm queen of links at Royal Birk-a-dale,
Beating all the stars here that is quite a tale.

Maybe I could shooting one more sub-par round?
And take home paycheck one-sixty thousand pound.
First I must beat Annika world number one,
Prove to everyone JJ can get it done!

Do you see what I see - ahhh… I'm five ahead!
Just keep making pars, no bogies or I'm dead!
If I win Open tomorrow there could be
Plenty cash and endorsements for little me!

Played by more Duffers than any other ball
Play the Great Greta - the Duffer's most trusted weapon
The golfer's bra - supporting women's golf for twenty years
For the Duffer whose game really stinks!
It's a pleasure to play badly in the Duffer's favourite shoe. Sand, water and rough-proof, even after 150 shots!
The ball even Duffers can't cut!
