Pak: South Korean women strong under pressure

Se Ri Pak was the inspiration that led to South Korea’s rise as a women’s golf power, and she revealed Tuesday what she thinks makes Koreans so dominant.

Pak, 39, making her farewell LPGA appearance in South Korea this week before retirement, told reporters at the KEB Hana Bank Championship that there are two key psychological components in play that go hand in hand with the Korean work ethic and training programs.

“One is the ability to adjust to whatever environment we’re playing in, and, second, we're very strong psychologically, because most of us play with a lot of pressure,” Pak said.
