Park wins major to return to top spot
Print Edition
PARK In-bee left no doubt at the Women's PGA Championship that she is the top player in women's golf — and one of the best ever.
The 26-year-old Park won the event for the third straight time on Sunday, regained the No. 1 ranking, surpassed idol Pak Se-ri for the most majors by a South Korean player with six, and tied the LPGA Tour record for the lowest score in a major in relation to par at 19 under. She closed with a bogey-free 5-under 68 at Westchester Country Club in Harrison, New York, finishing the season’s second major five strokes ahead of 22-year-old compatriot Kim Sei-young (71). Park and Sweden’s Annika Sorenstam (2003-05) are only players to win the event previously called the LPGA Championship three consecutive years. It also was Park’s fifth victory in the last 12 majors. With No. 1 Lydia Ko missing the cut for the first time in 54 tries, No. 2 Park needed to finish just 29th or better to retake the top spot she last held in February. It will be her third stay at the top of the rankings. She was the No. 1 for 59 weeks in 2013.
