The LPGA star Jane Park took a break from her golfing career two years ago. Her reason for the break was her daughter’s intractable epilepsy and as a mother, she couldn’t ignore her duties toward her child. But finally the LPGA star has returned to the golfing world, and she is currently participating in the Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational.
Her return to the game again brought joy even to other LPGA players. And her LPGA partner at the Midland Golf Course Paula Creamer is no exception. But Park’s interview after the round on Thursday, hinted at something. Something sad! Let’s see what she said.

With their 34 years of golfing professional career together, Creamer and Park have always been good old friends. Additionally, being mothers of young daughters got them bonding more and more. So after Park is back on the greens again, nobody could be happier than Paula. But in Thursday’s interview in the wake of the second round, Jane suggested this event might be the swansong of her career.
In the interview, Jane said: “Overall it was busy, but at the same time it really filled my heart to be able to do this. If it is my last time, then I am very appreciative for the opportunity to kind of rewrite the ending of my golf career, and I’m thankful for the opportunity to play with Paula.” Her words regarding her future, don’t clear the picture much though. Perhaps her daughter’s condition has got her into some pertinent fear, and which is why she doesn’t want to look too far ahead.

Things don’t look great for the pair at the event, as of Thursday, as they were facing an early exit. As a result, Paula got all welled up on the last hole of the day. “She started crying on the last hole. I was, like, please don’t cry,” Jane revealed.
How’s Grace’s health currently?
The recurrent episodes of brain seizures and the devastating health condition of Grace paused Park’s career for the last two years. But, Grace’s health has been on an upward trajectory lately. Even she has reportedly visited the Midland Country Club to support her mother along with her father Pete.
