Jang leaving LPGA to be closer to family in S. Korea

Ha Na Jang says she wants to spend more time with family and that's the reason behind her decision to leave the American-based LPGA tour and return to playing the Korean LPGA Tour full time.

"There was a void that couldn't be filled even by all the victories," Jang said in a news conference Tuesday in Seoul, South Korea. "And I made this decision because I decided to spend time with my family as this is more precious than becoming the best golfer in the world. I want to enjoy the rest of my golfing career with my parents and my loved ones around me.
