South Korean golfer Ryu So-yeon, who is currently the world number one in women’s golf, has been named as a finalist for the 2017 Women’s Sports Foundation Sportswoman of the Year Award.
 
The U.S.-based foundation on Wednesday announced ten finalists for the individual sport category and ten for the team sport category.
 
Ryu has been the top-ranked female golfer since June 26th. She won the ANnA Inspiration for her second career major championship in April.
 
The ten finalists for the individual sport category include Olympian and World Champion swimmer Katie Ledecky, Paralympian swimmer Becca Meyers, speed skater Heather Bergsma and foil fencer Inna Deriglazova.
 
The winner will be decided through online voting and deliberations by the foundation’s selection committee. The online voting will run through next Sunday and the awards ceremony will be held in October in New York.
