Armed with a good measure of power and swag, South Korea’s Sung Hyun Park registered her first ever victory at US Women’s Open. Demonstrating how much talent there is in women’s golf, the 23-year-old player played a major role in catapulting South Korea into the league of top ranking nations in women’s golf.

 

 

 

Hyun Park shot her second straight 5-under 67 on Sunday and won a final-round battle with front-running Shanshan Feng and teenage amateur sensation Hye-Jin Choi at Trump National Golf Club for her first LPGA Tour victory.

 

The 23-year-old South Korean displayed an all-around complete game in a closing round 67 that left her at 11-under-par 277, two strokes ahead of Choi. Mi Jung Hur and So Yeon Ryu tied for third at 281 while Feng fell to fifth along with Carlota Ciganda and Jeongeun6 Lee at 282 when she made a triple bogey on the final hole.

 

“I did not have the best first and second rounds,” Park said through a translator. “I wanted to believe in myself again for the final two rounds and I did.” And then she thanked her caddie, David Jones, for helping her stay focused and positive.
