INCHEON, South Korea (AP) -- Se Ri Pak ended her Hall of Fame career Thursday in front of her adoring home fans in the LPGA KEB HanaBank Championship.
Pak retired in a brief ceremony after shooting an 8-over 80, a result that mattered little to her or the many fans lining the fairways at Sky 72's Ocean Course.
Hampered by left shoulder problems, the 39-year-old Pak said in Phoenix in March that this season would be her last and she stepped away after the first round of the tour's lone South Korean event.
Pak won 25 LPGA Tour titles and five majors, two of them during a rookie season in 1998 that gave women's golf its biggest boost since Nancy Lopez.
