KUALA LUMPUR: World number one Park In-Bee will try to end the mini-drought which has punctuated her magnificent season, when she defends her title at this week’s Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia.
The 25-year-old swept all titles earlier this year, winning six of 13 events including three majors — a run that put her on the verge of a historic grand slam.
But since winning the US Open in June, victory has eluded the South Korean, who is now aiming to successfully defend a title for the first time in her career.
“I didn’t expect to win that much this year,” she said. “I’ve gone beyond my expectations.”
Park leads the season’s prize-money list with $2,306,328 and also tops the player of the year rankings with 290 points.
“My main goal for the year was to win the player of the year award. I have never successfully defended a title before, and that is another aim I have for this week’s Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia.”
