South Korean great Park In-bee joined an illustrious group as a 20-time LPGA Tour winner Sunday with a commanding victory at the Australian Open -- her first title in almost two years.
The seven-time major champion took a three-stroke lead into the final day at the Royal Adelaide Golf Club over Korean teenager Ayean Cho and despite a late wobble was never seriously threatened.
She stroked a one-over-par 74 in difficult, windy conditions to claim her first Australian Open by three shots from American Amy Olsen (70), and four ahead of France's Perrine Delacour (73).
Cho shot a 77 to end six off the lead.
"It was a tough day out there today, really different from the last days," she said after throwing her arms in the air and being showered with champagne by fellow Korean players on the 18th.
"It has been a thrill to play this week. The moment I came here and saw this golf course I fell in love with it.
"Whether I played good or not I knew I was going to have a fantastic time," she added. "I really enjoyed myself out there."
