Korean golfer Park In-bee loses LPGA major in playoff
- 6 years ago
It took eight playoff holes over two days,... but South Korea's star golfer Park Inbee fell just short of winning her eighth LPGA Major title at the ANA Inspiration in California on Monday.
With the South Korean tied with Sweden's Pernilla Lindberg after four sudden-death playoff holes on Sunday,... play was suspended due to a lack of light,... so the two squared off again the following morning.
And after four more holes,... the Swede managed to capture her first Major title.
Park, already an LPGA Hall of Famer, was going for her second victory this season,... after missing the latter part of the 2017 season with a back injury.
