‘Never Thought I Would Be Back’: Amid Making Her Return, Jane Park Makes a Valiant Confession About Her Comeback and Personal Battles

Returning to the same greens after two long years and gripping the club again is a difficult task altogether. Something similar in fashion happened with the LPGA pro Jane Park, as well. Despite having a terrific career as an amateur and owing to 16 top ten best finishes in the history of LPGA, this proficient golfer couldn’t invest time in her golfing career for the last two years. 

But this year, the LPGA star made a comeback, and is again playing at the Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational. She also exhibits extra enthusiasm. But amid her return, she makes a valiant confession about her personal battles so far and her upcoming game plan!

Jane Park confesses on battle with daughter’s health

Motherhood is already a huge responsibility. And being a professional golfer can make it a little difficult, especially when your child needs extra care. Something like this occurred in Park’s life as well. Her daughter Grace suffered from epilepsy, which is why as a mother Park had to step away from her career in order to take care of her daughter. But with the improvement in Grace’s health, Park can again return to her passion in calling, and thus playing at the Midland Country Golf Club this year. 

Although she had a rough start in round 1 and a score of 5-over par, Jane still didn’t lose hope to strive her best for the title. Rather, this LPGA pro takes a light-hearted approach to her game and plans to play in a way that she can justify her passion for golf in any sense. 

In an interview with the American professional golfer, Angela Stanford, when Park was asked about her feeling on being back to the field after two years of hiatus, she answered, “Disability can happen to anyone at any time in their lives and that’s just the innate nature of being human and yeah, I never thought I would be back out here again but with the love of the LPGA family and our friends…um, here we are, I’m playing golf again. And even if it’s my last time. I get to go out on my own terms ”.

Grace’s health on an upward trajectory

The chance of brain damage and the tragic health condition of Grace almost put a full stop to Jane Park’s golf career. But these two years of struggles finally came to an end, and Park’s 2-year-old daughter is currently better and has even traveled to Midland to cheer her mother.
