[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…‘China’s Park Se-ri’ Feng Shanshan is considering retirement after the Tokyo Olympics.

On the 26th (Korean time), after completing the second round of the third major of the LPGA Tour season, the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship (total prize money $4.5 million) held at Atlanta Athletic Golf Club in Johns Creek, Georgia, USA (par 72, 6,831 yards), she said, "I will consider retirement after the Olympics." After struggling with 6 over par over two days and missing the cut, she immediately left for China. She will quarantine at home for two weeks and then travel to Japan according to the Olympic schedule.

She debuted on the LPGA Tour in 2008 as the first Chinese player and has won a total of 10 titles, including the 2012 LPGA Championship. She also reached world No. 1, leading the golden era of Chinese women’s golf. Originally, she planned to retire after completing 10 years. She explained, "I have long considered retirement," adding, "Long-distance travel and adjusting to time differences were also difficult." She won a bronze medal at the Rio Olympics five years ago and plans to light her final flame at the Tokyo Olympics.
