Inbee Park finished last week’s HUGEL-AIR PREMIA LA Open in a tie for 15th, technically her worst result through four events in 2021. Debuting with a win at the Kia Classic back in March, Park has built up quite the momentum as she enters her 12th HSBC Women’s World Championship. Sitting at No. 2 in the Rolex Rankings since the week of March 29th, Park said obtaining No. 1 in the world again isn’t something she plays for, but recognizes her recent string of consistent play gets her closer to her goal of making it to the Tokyo Olympics.
