Park upbeat on Malaysia title defense
Print Edition
World No. 1 Park In-bee will have the Rolex Player of the Year rankings in mind when she opens her LPGA Malaysia title defense in Kuala Lumpur today.
The 25-year-old recovered from a recent dip in form by finishing third at the Reignwood Classic in Beijing last weekend.
Park marked the first half of the season with six wins, including three majors. What followed was a frustrating period from July when she found it hard to even record a top-10 finish in the next five tournaments, including two majors — the British Open and The Evian Championship.
Now with a confidence-boosting finish in China, the South Korean is eager to continue her return to form in Kuala Lumpur. “I didn’t realize that I won that many (tournaments), I really didn’t expect that,” Park said.
“Luckily enough I had a good finish last week and that gave me a lot of confidence for the rest of the season,” she added. “One of my goals this season is to win the Player of the Year award. (The season’s) not over yet, so I hope to keep going ...”
Winning in Malaysia last year was certainly a stepping stone for Park, propelling her from a world ranking of No. 4 to No. 2 before going on to claim the top ranking the following year.
Park replaced American Stacy Lewis as the world No. 1 and has sustained the top ranking since April 15.
