TURNBERRY, Scotland — As Inbee Park hunted down Jin-Young Ko in the final stretch of the Women's British Open on Sunday, it quickly became clear which South Korean was the rookie and which was the player about to add another chapter in golf's record book.
The top-ranked Park picked up seven shots in her last 12 holes, pressured her 20-year-old protégé so much that Ko lost her nerve, and completed a seven-under 65 at Turnberry to capture the trophy she thought she may never win.
Park won by three shots with a 12-under 276 for a seventh major title, becoming only the seventh female player to capture four different majors.
