LANCASTER, Pennsylvania, July 12 (Reuters) - The golf coach resorted to scolding his prized pupil, a putting lesson was finally learned, and on Sunday a beaming Chun In-gee was hugging the silver trophy as U.S. Women's Open champion.
It was an uncharacteristic moment in the relationship between 20-year-old Chun and Park Won, who often preaches having fun. But it was an important step in the building of South Korea's latest major winner.
"Her putting was the only weak point up until the last ANA Inspiration," Park told Reuters about April's first major of the year as he followed Chun outside the ropes at the start of Sunday's final round at Lancaster Country Club.
