Park earns third Symetra win of season

By winning the Evian Championship, 18-year-old Lydia Ko became the youngest player to win a major. But Ko isn't the only under-21 bright light in women's golf. Canadian Brooke Henderson was granted a waiver of the LPGA's 18-year-old age minimum in August after she won the Cambia Portland Classic by eight shots. Henderson turned 18 on Sept. 10, the same day Arnold Palmer turned 86. Then there's Lexi Thompson, 20, winner of the 2014 Kraft Nabisco; South Korea's Hyo-Joo Kim, 20, who won the 2014 Evian; Australian Minjee Lee, who won at Kingsmill in May, shortly before her 19th birthday; Englishwoman Charley Hull, 19, whose talent will be on display in the upcoming Solheim Cup and, well, you get the picture.
