Park Sung-hyun made a tap-in birdie at the par-five final hole to win the NW Arkansas Championship on Sunday and stake her claim for the world number one ranking. Park edged fellow South Koreans Park In-bee and Kim Hyo-joo and American Danielle Kang by one stroke at Pinnacle Country Club in Rogers. She finished at 18-under-par 195 after a final round of 66. A week after coming runner-up at the Women’s PGA Championship major, Park was consoled with her seventh LPGA Tour victory. Park is projected to displace Ko atop the world rankings, according to the LPGA.
