Koreans try to avoid first major shutout in 5 years

Two of South Korea’s brightest new stars are aiming to keep their homeland up late again.

In Gee Chun and Sung Hyun Park, the Korean LPGA Tour’s top stars the last two seasons, will play together in Saturday’s final pairing at the Evian Championship, the year’s final major.

Chun was the KLPGA’s Player of the Year and leading money winner last season. She also won the U.S. Women’s Open, which earned her membership on the American-based LPGA this season. Park is the KLPGA’s biggest star this year, a lock as its Player of the Year with seven tour victories.
