SEOUL (Reuters) - Pak Se-ri is set to bring the curtain down on a career that brought her five majors, 39 victories worldwide and almost $13 million in prize money but the South Korean trailblazer concedes golf never brought her happiness.
Pak, whose sensational rookie season in 1998 helped lift the gloom off the Asian financial crisis and inspired a generation of world class women golfers back home, said at a news conference on Wednesday she had sacrificed much in pursuit of her goals.
"I guess I am disappointed that I never found the joy of playing," Yonhap news quoted Pak as saying.
