Four-time LPGA Tour winner Jang Ha-na of South Korea has decided to return permanently to the domestic league in early June apparently due to fatigue and home-sick.
Jang will join the Korea LPGA Tour (KLPGA) on June 2, her agency, Sportizen, said Monday. The 25-year-old has told her friends that she felt tired and run down because of a tight schedule in the United States. She has also expressed concern about her aging father.
Jang was the top money winner in South Korea here in 2013. Since she moved to the US tour in 2015, she has won four championships. This year, she won the ISPS Handa Women's Australian Open in February and stood 10th in the world rankings.
With her energetic moves, Jang has earned her the nickname "HaNa-Gizer", but she took a one-month rest in April last year, complaining about insomnia and anemia caused by an extreme stress.
