Inbee Park Moves Within A Point Of Hall Of Famer Status
/She's been battling injury but Inbee Park won the Lorena Ochoa Invitational Sunday with an 8-under-par 64 to also make some of the year-end awards and such interesting. She also got to wear the least-flattering winner's prize in all of golf. Does anyone look good in a sombrero?
Park earned another point toward her LPGA Hall of Fame qualification and now has 26 of the 27 points needed to be eligible. This in just ninth year as an LPGA member (must be an active member for 10 years to be eligible for induction).
At next week's CME Globe, Inbee has three opportunities to earn the point that lands her in the hall: a win, winning Player of the Year or winning the Vare Trophy.
This is all interesting because, in all honesty, the LPGA has the best and toughest system for "HOF" status and it's pretty amazing that someone so young is on the cusp in just year nine of her career as an LPGA member.
The dreaded sombrero photo, no captions please.
