Park Inbee said the prospect of defending her Olympic title at this year’s Tokyo Games is driving her on this season after the South Korean started her 2021 LPGA Tour campaign with victory at the Kia Classic on Sunday.
The world number four, who won gold at Rio in 2016 as golf made its return to the Olympics for the first time since 1904, collected her 21st LPGA Tour title with a five-shot win over Americans Amy Olson and Lexi Thompson in California.
The 32-year-old is now four wins away from matching Pak Se-ri’s record for the most LPGA Tour victories by a South Korean.
