Kim upbeat before Singapore title defence

South Korea’s Kim Hyo-joo struck an upbeat tone on Tuesday as she gears up to defend her HSBC Women’s World Championship title in Singapore in the face of stiff competition.

The 26-year-old staged a late fightback by overcoming a five-shot deficit to triumph in last year’s tournament by one shot, snapping a five-year winless drought.

The event at the Sentosa Golf Club, from Thursday to Sunday, will be her first tournament since November when she finished tied 53rd in the CME Group Tour Championship.

“I practised on the front nine yesterday and the course conditions are great, similar to last year. I feel I’m ready to play well this week,” she told a press conference.
