INCHEON, South Korea (Reuters) - Park Sung-hyun has a small tattoo on her left wrist, the Latin word "lucete" -- "shine". The South Korean golfer endured the needles during the dark days of her career, a reminder that no matter how bad things got she had the talent to succeed.
After a 2016 season that has included seven wins on the domestic KLPGA Tour, top 10 finishes at three global majors, $1 million in prize money and a jump to number eight in the world rankings, it appears there will be no need for further ink.
Regarded at home as a potential successor to Park In-bee as the next Korean world number one, Sung-hyun's game could hardly be more different to that of the Olympic champion.
