Hot tea leaves Pak in a stew

South Korean superstar Pak Se-ri pulled out of the LPGA Texas Shootout in the second round on Friday with a burn on her leg caused by hot tea.

Pak Se-ri, the Hall of Fame-bound legend who has announced this will be her final season on the LPGA tour, opened the tournament with a one-over 72 on Thursday and was one-over for the tournament when she withdrew. The LPGA confirmed on Twitter that she had pulled out “citing an accidental hot tea burn to her lower leg”. It was unclear exactly when Pak suffered the burn.

Pak, 38, was the first of what is now an army of South Korean players on the LPGA tour. She has won five major titles and 25 LPGA crowns overall. She has more than $12.5 million in career earnings since joining the LPGA Tour in 1998.
