That is why KYCC is an organization that is so close to my heart." says the South Korean Hall of Fame golfer.

Seri Pak is one of main forces making LPGA ,where it is now.
When Seri won US Open at Kohler,WI in 1998 as a record breaking
young age(20),especially the way of winning like shot with bare foot
in the water etc,she not only influenced lots of Korean and many
world young kids starting golf(Seri kids),but also promoted LPGA
events well enough for more peoples have interested in LPGA.
This is another good gesture for Seri offered and LPGA indebted to
Seri a lot,I believe.
Todayi s final round of US Open in 2012 and as we know Na Yeon Choi
(one of Seri kids)is commanding lead(6 strokes ahead a fellow korean
player,Amy Yang) and hopefully she maintains her composure at the
final round to continue Korean dominance in recent US Open(won 3
out of last 5).
What she needs a strong will of winning rather than too casual attitude
at most crucial time. Good luck! Na Yeon! KJ
