LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. – Inbee Park wanted to get off to a fast start this season to build up world-ranking points for another run at an Olympic gold medal.
So far, so good.
Park opened the new season with a 6-under 65 at the LPGA’s Diamond Resorts Tournament of Champions. She’s two shots behind the leader, Danielle Kang.
“It was a great day, especially having a bogey-free round, especially being the first round of the year,” Park said.
While Park is a Hall of Famer and a seven-time major championship winner, she doesn’t typically get off to fast starts to the year.
