Report: South Korean golfer Park In-bee has accomplished a career grand slam on the LPGA Tour by capturing the Ricoh Women's British Open on Sunday.
Finishing at a total of 12-under 276 at Trump Turnberry Resort in Scotland, Park has achieved her dream of winning four different major championships over her career.
She has become the first South Korean as well as Asian to achieve the feat and only the seventh golfer to do so in the history of the LPGA.

"I am honored to achieve such a big dream so quickly and at such an early age when I thought it would be my last goal."
Park entered the final round three shots behind overnight leaders Ko Jin-young of South Korea and Teresa Lu of Taiwan, but shot seven-under 65 after carding seven birdies and an eagle.
Park tied for the lead on the 14th hole by sinking an eagle, then seized the lead on the 16th hole with a birdie putt.
If she wins the Evian Championship next month, she will win all five majors and attain a super slam. Park won the Evian in 2012, but the event only became a major the next year.
With her victory on Sunday, Park has secured enough points to be named the winner of the Rolex Annika Major Award.
Named after Hall of Famer Annika Sorenstam and awarded to the player with the best overall performance in the five majors each year, the Rolex Annika Major Award was created last year when Korean American Michelle Wie won the inaugural prize.
