Park In-bee opened her LPGA Tour season with a wire-to-wire victory in the Kia Classic on Sunday.
The Hall of Famer earned her 21st career LPGA win Sunday at Aviara Golf Club in Carlsbad, California.
She also tied LPGA Founder Marilynn Smith for 25th place on the victory list and moved within four of matching Pak Se-ri for the South Korean mark.
Park closed with a 2-under 70 for a five-stroke victory over Lexi Thompson and Amy Olson, finishing at 14-under 274.
The 32-year-old Park, ranked fourth in the world, now heads to the desert for the ANA Inspiration in Rancho Mirage, also in California.
