Se Ri Pak, who has one of the shortest names on the LPGA Tour -- hey, it's not Brittany Lincicome or Stacy Prammanasudh -- certainly plays well in long-named events. With her record-tying fifth win Sunday at the ... wait for it ... Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic Presented by Kroger, Pak joined Annika Sorenstam and Mickey Wright as the only players to win the same tournament five times.
Add this win to her impressively long list of long-name victories, which includes the 2002 Office Depot Championship Hosted by Amy Alcott, the '03 Safeway PING presented by Yoplait and the '06 McDonald's LPGA Championship presented by Coca-Cola. I'm out of breath, but there are 20 others (wins, not syllables).
Even with fellow-Korean K.J. Choi's two PGA Tour wins this year, Pak still seems to carry the most popularity in her homeland. Read Andrew Carter's recent article in The Orlando Sentinel for more.
