“I can’t comment on others’ opinions, but I do respect their choices because Zika is dangerous,” said Chan at Hong Kong Golf Club in Deep Water Bay before jetting back to the States to prepare for the US Women’s Amateur Championship which starts on August 1.
“It’s your own choice and risk to participate but all the LPGA players are still in it, because for women it’s different,” she added, saying the women don’t enjoy the same longevity in their careers as the men – and certainly not the same limelight. “For the girls it’s more exciting because it only happens once every four years.”
