Interesting assessment by CBS Sports senior writer Steve Elling about Korean born golfers and American golfers.  If you know want to know the secret, it’s the kimchi they feed the girls across the pond.  lol

Guess this isn’t exactly news
Want to win the biggest title in women’s golf? Move to Seoul. A common thread has clearly emerged over the past five years, a period that has produced three South Korean winners with minimal professional pedigrees. Unheralded Birdie Kim, Inbee Park and Eun Hee Ji have amassed a combined total of four LPGA-sanctioned victories in their careers, a staggering statistic given the supposed pressures of delivering an Open title. Kim and Park, in fact, hadn’t won before claiming their Open titles, nor have they since. So whatever they are doing on the Korean assembly line is working. As for the Americans, read onward.
