This weekend was the first time Inbee Park had played an LPGA Tour event since last June. She certainly took advantage.

Park put on a putting clinic during the final round on her way to a course record 8-under-par 64 at the HSBC Women’s Champions in Singapore.

Before turning professional in 2007, Park recorded eight career AJGA wins from 2001-2005, including the 2002 Rolex Girls Junior Championship and the 2003 Rolex Tournament of Champions. She was a five-time Rolex Junior All-American and the 2002 Rolex Junior Player of the Year.

PGA TOUR

Dustin Johnson earned his second win in as many starts on March 5, closing out the World Golf Championships-Mexico Championship with a 3-under-par 68 to cap a one-stroke victory. The win put an emphatic stamp on Johnson’s first tournament as world No. 1 as he became just the fifth player to win his first start as world No. 1.

Johnson’s win was his fourth at a World Golf Championship event. Johnson birdied the par-5 15th hole on the home stretch to hold off Tommy Fleetwood by one stroke.

From 1999 to 2002, Johnson played AJGA events including the 2001 . After his junior golf career, he played college golf at Coastal Carolina University, where he was a two-time All-American and seven-time winner.
