Gold medalist Park returns to LPGA in Thailand

The return home to Thailand for reigning Rolex Player of the Year Aria Jutanugarn is just one of the things to watch this weekend as the LPGA Tour begins its two-event Asia swing on Thursday with the 11th edition of the Honda LPGA Thailand.

The event at the Siam Country Club's Pitaya Old Course in Chonburi, Thailand, also will mark the return to the competition for South Korea's Inbee Park, who makes her first start on the LPGA since winning a gold medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics. She missed the past six months after Rio while recovering from a left thumb injury.
