South Korea’s Sung Hyun Park wins CP Women’s Open
OTTAWA Now that she’s won two LPGA championships, Sung Hyun Park is finally going to get to see the biggest attraction in her home away from home.
Park shot a 7-under 64 to finish at 13-under par to win the CP Women’s Open on Sunday, five weeks after winning the U.S. Women’s Open. Both wins came in her rookie season on the LPGA Tour and she feels it’s time for a rest, so she’s returning to her North American home in Orlando to relax.
“I’ve never been to Disney World. I think I’ve got to go this time,” said Park through a translator. “I have a dog named Ato. It’s been a while since I’ve seen my dog, so I’m planning to play with my dog during my vacation.”
Park started the day in a tie for 12th, but played a bogeyfree final round with seven birdies — including back-toback birdies on the Nos. 8 and 9 holes — to storm up the leaderboard. She had already sewn up the championship by the time the final groupings were on the 18th fairway.
“I feel a little nervous when I play in the last group. But I was not today,” said Park. “Today I was in an earlier group when I started, so I felt a little more comfortable when I played this round.”
Brooke Henderson of nearby Smiths Falls, Ont., shot an even-par round to finish at 7 under to tie for 12th, a disappointing result after an 8-under 63 catapulted her into a tie for sixth after three rounds.
