[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] 'Golf Empress' Park In-bee (32, KB Financial Group) sheds tears in the playoff.

On the 20th (Korean time), at the Four Seasons Golf & Sports Club in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, USA (par 71, 6,645 yards), the final day of the LPGA Tour 2020 season opener, the Diamond Resort Tournament (total prize money $1.2 million), Park shot an even par, tying with Hataoka Nasa (Japan) and Gaby Lopez (Mexico) at 13-under 271. However, she made a fatal mistake by hitting her tee shot into the water on the third hole of the playoff at the 18th hole (par 3).

Her dream of winning her 20th LPGA Tour title, her first in 1 year and 10 months since the Founders Cup in March 2018, was shattered. Park started with a 2-stroke lead, exchanging two birdies and two bogeys. After a shaky start with consecutive bogeys on holes 2 and 3, she made her first birdie on the 8th hole (par 4). She maintained par for seven holes, then made a birdie on the 16th hole (par 4) to tie for the lead, but ultimately did not claim the winner's trophy.
