Entering the weekend at the Chevron Championship, Amy Rogers catches up with In Gee Chun about her chances to achieve the career Grand Slam at The Club at Carlton Woods.
In Gee Chun is no stranger to pressure. With four major titles already under her belt, the South Korean golf star now stands just one victory away from completing the career Grand Slam — a feat only a handful of players in LPGA history have achieved. But despite the looming legacy, Chun remains firmly grounded in the moment.
“I’m just trying to stay present,” Chun said after her win at the 2025 Evian Championship. “When I focus too much on results or history, it takes me out of my rhythm. Right now, I just want to enjoy every shot and every step.”
Her composure is what has defined her career. Known for her calm demeanor and steady pace, Chun’s ability to block out distractions has helped her win major titles at the U.S. Women’s Open, the Women’s PGA Championship, the Evian Championship (twice), and now eye the final piece — the Chevron Championship.
With that historic fifth major in sight, the golf world is watching. But Chun refuses to get ahead of herself. “Every course is different. Every week is a new challenge. The moment I think I’ve ‘arrived,’ that’s when I lose focus,” she explained.
Chun’s mindfulness is part of a larger strategy that includes daily meditation, breathing exercises, and a tightly structured routine designed to keep her both mentally and physically balanced. “Golf is a mental game. You win it in your mind first,” she said.
As the LPGA Tour heads toward the Chevron Championship, pressure will undoubtedly rise. But if Chun’s mindset holds steady, she may soon etch her name among legends like Annika Sörenstam and Karrie Webb. For now, though, she’s sticking to her mantra — one shot, one hole, one round at a time.
