Inbee Park, the world’s top-ranked player, continued her dominance and secured her place in golf history on Sunday by taking the 68th US Women’s Open, shooting a 2-over-par 74 to finish 72 holes at 8 under and win by four shots, over I.K. Kim (74).
The victory, added to wins at the Kraft Nabisco and LPGA Championship, makes Park 3 for 3 in 2013 majors, only the second player ever to do that. It’s her sixth win this season, fourth major of her career, and second US Women’s Open victory, when Park won that by four shots, too.
“I just hope this is not a dream,” Park said. “I wouldn’t want to wake up tomorrow and have to play the final round again.” Full story for BostonGlobe.com subscribers.
