Se Ri Pak wiped tears from her eyes leaving the 18th green Thursday at the KEB Hana Bank Championship in South Korea in what was celebrated as her final round as an LPGA player before retirement.
As planned, she withdrew from the event after a special ceremony on the 18th green honoring her remarkable career.
A long line of both Korean and American players waited to hug Pak after her round, including fellow Hall of Famer Inbee Park, who isn’t playing the event but attended to honor Pak. A video tribute to Pak was played on a giant screen at the 18th, which was packed by adoring fans.
