SEOUL, South Korea – In a return to official live tournament golf amid the coronavirus pandemic, Hyun Kyung Park shot a final-round 67 Sunday to win the Korean Ladies Professional Golf Championship by one stroke.

Park had a four-round total of 17-under 271 on the Lakewood Country Club course.

World No. 10 Jeongeun Lee6 (-9) tied for 15th, while world No. 6 Sei Young Kim (-1) finished T-46. World No. 3 Sung Hyun Park (+6) missed the cut.

On Sunday, when players finished their rounds, most gave each other fist or elbow pumps instead of the usual hugs or hand shakes.
