Park Hyun-kyung won the KLPGA Championship title on Sunday as women's golf in South Korea joined the country's professional baseball and soccer leagues to restart amid the coronavirus pandemic. Park triumphed by one stroke in the tour's first event since December. An emotional Park hugged her father, who was caddying for her, after the winning putt and was showered with petals from her peers who also did elbow bumps in what is likely to be a new normal in sports. The Lakewood Country Club was open only to players, caddies, officials and media. Caddies wore masks, players dined separately and fist and elbow bumps replaced post-round hugs and handshakes over the last four days.
