While Pak will always be remembered for inspiring a nation to become a golf power, Park moved out of Paks shadow as the most accomplished Korean player with her tour-de-force performance at the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro two years ago. Park turned Paks legacy into gold, the first gold medal in the history of womens golf. Yes, the first, because when Margaret Abbott shot 47 to win first place in a nine-hole Olympic competition in Paris in 1900, she didnt take home gold. Abbott took home a porcelain bowl.Just like Pak did winning a U.S. Womens Open all those years ago, Park kept her homeland awake into the wee morning hours with her Olympic performance. When Park took the medal stand, it was 2:08 in the morning back in Seoul and yet legions of South Koreans were tuned in watching.The moment was televised live by three different Korean networks.At 29, Park is already an LPGA Hall of Famer. Shes also a former world No. 1 with seven major championship titles. Only six players have own more majors than her in the history of the game. Shes expected to make her 2018 LPGA debut at HSBC Womens World Championship.
