TURNBERRY, Scotland – Rolex world No. 1 Inbee Park is close to the prize she covets.
With a 3-under-par 69 Saturday, she moved into contention at the Ricoh Women’s British Open, where a victory would give her the fourth piece in the career Grand Slam she seeks. She’s three shots behind Jin-Young Ko and Teresa Lu.
Park has won three KPMG Women’s PGA Championships, two U.S. Women’s Opens and the ANA Inspiration. She also won the Evian Championship before it was a major.
“It’s just great that I get somewhat of a chance, instead of sitting at 3 or 4 over par,” Park said.
