SEOUL — Jang Ha-na arrived back in Seoul on Monday after winning the HSBC Women's Champions event at the weekend but the South Korean golfer had to face some awkward questions over an incident that left rival Chun In-gee unable to compete in Singapore.
Chun, the 2015 U.S. Open champion, suffered an injury to the muscles surrounding her tail bone and was forced to miss the LPGA tournament after a bag being carried by Jang's father came crashing down an escalator at Singapore's Changi Airport.
Korean media reported Jang's father had lost hold of the 7kg carry-on bag as he watched his daughter tie a shoelace.
