KILDEER, Ill. – Sung Hyun Park’s mask broke in the end.
It was a glorious unveiling.
The tough veneer that makes her look as if she would be comfortable disarming ticking bombs, racing into burning buildings or talking suicidal folks off ledges melted away after her last 8-foot birdie putt dropped Sunday to win the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship at Kemper Lakes Golf Club.
She was so overwhelmed, she cried.
It’s the first time she could remember tears of joy soaking any of her victories.
“Actually, this is my first time feeling this kind of emotion, being this emotional,” Park said.
