Olympics-Golf-South Korea's Park wins gold medal
RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug 20 (Reuters) - South Korea's Inbee Park won the first Olympic gold medal in women's golf since 1900 with a commanding five-stroke victory on Saturday.
The 28-year-old Park, who is the LPGA'S youngest hall of fame qualifier, capped off an exceptional Olympic performance after recovering from injuries that kept her off the course for two months this year.
