SEOUL, June 19 (Reuters) - Few golfers would describe Park In-bee's languid, truncated swing as "textbook", but after winning her sixth career major at the Women's PGA Championship on Sunday, the South Korean is no doubt content to have played her way into the record books.
While New Zealand teen Lydia Ko's stunning rise from amateur to world number one hogged the global golfing headlines over the last year, Park has quietly cemented her place as one of the game's all-time greats.
At 26, the Korean has now won five of the last 12 majors, her five-stroke victory on Sunday snatching back top spot in the rankings from Ko and taking her career earnings on the LPGA Tour to more than $11 million.
