Biography

Born in

NCAA Division I Women's Golf Championships, she won the individual title by six strokes and helped USC win the team national championship. Park was named the winner of the Honda Sports Award as the best female college golfer in the U.S.[3][5]

Park played on the winning U.S. team in the

LPGA Tour for 2016.[6] She played in 25 events during the 2016 LPGA Tour season and had a pair of top-10 finishes. At the ShopRite LPGA Classic, Park tied for sixth, her best result of the year.[11] In addition, she graduated from USC with a communications degree. Towards the end of 2016, though, she had begun to suffer from a back injury.[6]

In 2017, Park's performance declined as she dealt with the injury.[12] She missed the cut in 10 of the 17 tournaments in which she played.[6] After ending 2017 outside the top 120 in season earnings, Park lost full status on the LPGA Tour for 2018, limiting her playing opportunities.[12] At the LPGA Mediheal Championship in April 2018, she gained a spot in the field in a Monday qualifier and finished in a tie for 18th after being within one stroke of the lead following the second round.[6][12] The result led to an improvement in her playing status for tournament entry, but she did not place better than joint 40th in her next three appearances.[6]

Entering the ShopRite LPGA Classic, Park was number 236 in the Women's World Golf Rankings.[12] At that event, she posted rounds of 69, 65, and 63, for a 16-under-par total that gave her a one-stroke win over Sakura Yokomine, the first of her career on the LPGA Tour.[12] Her winner's check of $262,500 was more than her career earnings at the time.[13] Later in the year, at the Buick LPGA Shanghai, Park finished in a tie for second, one stroke behind winner Danielle Kang.[14] For the season, she made 16 cuts in 19 events and had three top-10 results.[15] Her earnings of nearly $550,000 placed her in 40th on the LPGA's 2018 money list.[16]

In 2019, Park qualified for the U.S.

Hugel-Air Premia LA Open in April, she tied for third place, five strokes behind winner Minjee Lee.[20] She earned more than $400,000 in 2019, and ended the year in 50th on the LPGA money list.[16]

During the

Diamond Resorts Tournament of Champions.[22] In 2021, Park made over $123,000, dropping to 103rd in season earnings.[16] She made the cut in 12 of 18 events played but had no top-10 finishes; her top placing was a tie for 12th at the Kia Classic.[23] Park played in 24 tournaments during the 2022 season, making the cut in half of them and posting two top-10s, including a tie for fifth at the Palos Verdes Championship.[24] Her earnings of over $200,000 placed her inside the top 100 on the money list.[16] The following season, Park fell outside the top 100 in earnings,[16] as her top finish in 21 events was a tie for 12th.[25]
