Ever since first 3 major wins by Inbee Park in 2013,she has concentrated at British Open,
which is last piece of her career grand slam in LPGA.

She was extremely nervous in 2013  and she finished with high number on Sunday.
She led after 54 holes last year,but she could not fullfill and ended up 4th place.

However she won this year with coming from behind fashion. She was 3rd youngest
7 major winner in golf history and 7th career grand slam winner in LPGA.

Her eagle at 14th and birdie at tough 16th were major reasons for win,but a few
fairly lengthy par saving putts in back nine were keys to win to me.

I am extremely happy for Inbee and let us give big hands to our Inbee!    KJ

 

Once again
What a performance by Park and other Korean players on the world stage of golf !
They are certainly Korea's best ambassadors, not only for Korean women but also for their motherland.
Their work ethics and fine characters such as courage under pressure, patience, humility, will power and realistic attitude
put them in the different league compared to other players, which I noted the commentators tried to convey to the audience.
I haven't heard yet any of Korean players, (male or female, or whatever citizenship they hold)works with sports psychologist, which may tell us something about Korean characters that may have something to do with their genetic makeup.

Thank you for the report, Dr. Hwang!
We missed the live coverage.
Congratulations, Inbee Park!

Considering desire level as high as it was,
tough course as Turnberry course was,
and on extreme pressure as this Suday was,
the score of 65 by Inbee on this crucial
Sunday was simply amazing!

Again

Top 4 players of this year's British Open were
Inbee Park,Jin Young Ko,So Yeon Ryu,and Lydia Ko.

ALL KOREAN BORN PLAYERS!      KJ

Park clinches Rolex Annika Major Award at Open



TURNBERRY, Scotland – Inbee Park clinched the Rolex Annika Major Award
with her victory Sunday at the Ricoh Women’s British Open.

Park won the honor, named after Hall of Famer Annika Sorenstam, for the
best overall performance in women’s majors this year. With 60 points for
the victory, she moves to 138 total points and can’t be caught. Park also
won the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, tied for third at the U.S. Women’s
Open and tied for 11th at the ANA Inspiration.

“Obviously, it's a prestigious award,” Park said. “Annika is a legendary
player. She's my idol. It feels a great honor to put my name on that award.”
Michelle Wie won the inaugural award a year ago.

박인비 금의환향




미국여자프로골프(LPGA) 투어 역대 7번째 '커리어 그랜드슬램(4개 메이저대회 우승)'을 달성한
박인비(27·KB금융그룹)가 금의환향했다.

박인비가 '커리어 그랜드슬램' 위업을 뒤로 하고 영국을 떠나 4일 오전 인천공항을 통해 귀국했다.

지난 2일 영국 스코틀랜드의 트럼프 턴베리 리조트 에일사코스에서 열린 브리티시오픈에서 박인비는
최종합계 12언더파 276타로 정상에 오르며 '커리어 그랜드슬램'의 위업을 달성했다. 밝은 표정
으로 입국장에 모습을 드러낸 박인비는 취재진을 만나 "작년과 재작년에 그랜드슬램에 도전했지만
나에게 너무 큰 벽이었다. 높고 멀게만 느껴졌는데 뛰어넘고 나니까 홀가분하고 기쁘다. 기쁨을
말로 다 표현하기 어렵다"고 했다.

이어 "지금까지 도와주신 분들이 많이 생각난다. 감사를 전할 분들이 매우 많다"며 "한국에서
밤늦게까지 응원해주신 국민들에게도 영광을 돌리고 싶다"고 덧붙였다.

박인비의 그랜드슬램은 LPGA 투어 역대 7번째이자 동양 선수로는 최초다.

박인비는 오는 7일부터 9일까지 제주도 오라컨트리클럽에서 열리는 한국여자프로골프(KLPGA) 투어
제주 삼다수 마스터스에 출전한다.

아직 KLPGA 투어에서 첫 승을 거두지 못한 박인비가 브리티시오픈의 상승세를 이어갈지 관심이다.

박인비는 "아직 우승이 없는데 당연히 국내 대회에서 우승을 하고 싶다"면서도 "아직 기회가 많이
남았다. 조급해하지는 않겠다"고 했다.

박인비는 다음 주 열리는 캄비아 포틀랜드 클래식에 참가하지 않고, 21일부터 캐나다 밴쿠버에서
열리는 캐네디언 퍼시픽 위민스 오픈에 출전할 계획이다.
