My Take

Park Sung-hyun's record speaks loudly to me: two LPGA majors, the 2017 U.S. Women's Open and the 2018 Women's PGA Championship, plus stretches at world number one across 2017, 2018, and 2019. That's not a flash-in-the-pan run, that's sustained dominance at the very top of women's golf. What I admire most is the consistency it takes to keep returning to the number one spot over multiple years. Golf punishes the smallest lapse in nerve, and she answered with majors. She's part of that formidable wave of South Korean talent on the LPGA Tour, and clearly one of its standouts.
