Park Captures Third Win of 2018
Sung Hyun Park fired a final round 4-under par, 68 to share the lead with Lizette Salas at 23-under to end regulation on Sunday. The two headed to No. 18 for a sudden death playoff. It took only one hole for the Republic of Korea native to defeat Salas and earn her third victory of the season at the Indy Women in Tech Championship Driven by Group 1001.
Park, who was the first player to win the Rolex Rookie of the Year and Rolex Player of the Year awards in the same year since Nancy Lopez achieved the feat in 1978, is projected to take over the most prestigious title of them all. The current world No.4 is projected to overtake Ariya Jutanugarn at No. 1 in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings following her win in Indianapolis. It’s a position Park held once before for a week in November 2017.
She was the fourth Korean player to reach No. 1 in the history of the rankings (Jiyai Shin, Inbee Park, So Yeon Ryu, Sung Hyun Park) when she held the position in 2017. Only 13 players have reached No. 1 since the rankings debuted in February 2006.
