(Reuters) - Five-times major winner and South Korean pioneer Pak Se-ri said on Thursday she would be calling time on her glittering career at the end of the season.
The 38-year-old made the announcement after completing her first round at JTBC Founders Cup in Phoenix, Arizona.
"I decided a couple of years ago. I just feel like (it's) time," Pak told reporters.
"(I decided to announce it because) I'm trying to say thanks to everybody. I’m going to miss everything."
Pak, who shot an opening round three-under-par 69 on Thursday, has won 25 times on the LPGA Tour and was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2007.
