Inbee Park will play out the rest of this season on the doorstep to the LPGA Hall of Fame.
She starts the fall Asian swing Thursday at the Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia event knowing she could qualify with a strong finish to the year.
With her four LPGA titles this season, two of them major championships, Park has accumulated 25 LPGA Hall of Fame points in her career, two short of qualifying for induction. She could meet the requirement before the year is over without even winning. An LPGA victory is worth one point but so is winning the Rolex Player of the Year Award and so is winning the Vare Trophy for low scoring average.
