Park earned an Open exemption via her U.S. Women's Amateur victory. With the NCAA individual championship now added to her rsum, there's not much more for Park to accomplish as an amateur. Park insists she has made no decision about her immediate future, but it's widely believed that she no longer feels challenged by the college game and is eager to prove her skills at the next level. Her stellar play in Tulsa was key to Duke's team victory. Without the team, I wouldn't be here.
Individual performance is important, obviously, to help the team.
Who knows what would have happened. What can't be argued is that Park led from start to finish. Only six rounds among the 297 posted were under par, and two of those belonged to Park. Georgia's Shauna Estes and defending champion Rosales moved into the mix with 70 and 71, respectively. Durdin shot 75 and fell into a third-place tie with Rosales, one shot ahead of Estes.
