INCHEON, South Korea -- Se Ri Pak ended her Hall of Fame career in tears Thursday in front of her adoring home fans in the LPGA KEB HanaBank Championship.Overcome at the end of the sunny afternoon at Sky 72, Pak cried nearly throughout a retirement ceremony on the 18th hole. The Little Angels childrens choir sang, players wore SE RI hats and farewell messages were played in a video montage.A lot of emotion going on through my mind, Pak said.It mattered little to the fans and players, many of them drawn to golf by Pak, that she shot an 8-over 80 and was tied for last -- 15 strokes behind leader Alison Lee -- before withdrawing.It wasnt easy out there today, Pak said.Hampered by left shoulder problems, the 39-year-old Pak said in Phoenix in March that this season would be her last and she stepped away as planned after the first round of the tours lone South Korean event.It wasnt a sudden decision to retire, but I think it will take time for me to absorb the fact that I will no longer be competing, Pak said. Today I was really happy and grateful to see so many fans out there. It really moved me. I really wanted to show them my appreciation. I couldnt figure out how during the competition, but I was very moved by the open retirement ceremony. I was very, very extremely happyPak won 25 LPGA Tour titles -- the last in 2010 -- and five majors, two of them during a rookie season in 1998 that gave womens golf its biggest boost since Nancy Lopez. The youngest player to be inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame when she was enshrined in 2007 at age 30, Pak won 14 times on the Korean LPGA and captained South Koreas Olympic team -- with Inbee Park winning the gold medal -- in Rio.Pak last played on the tour in July, also shooting an 80 to miss the cut in the U.S. Womens Open.Playing alongside defending champion Lexi Thompson and Chinese star Shanshan Feng in the final group, Pak bogeyed the first hole and four of the first six. She bogeyed the first five holes on the back nine, birdied the par-4 15th and closed with three straight pars.When I reached the 18th, I was on the tee box, and I felt like I couldnt make the shot, Pak said. I think I cried all throughout the 18th hole. Actually there was flood of emotions that I really didnt expect to feel. I didnt expect myself to feel this way.From the fairway of the 18th hole and the green I could see the gallery and the fans and there was just a lot of love and support. I think it was one of the best moments. Ive had a lot of the victories in my career, and I have to say it was one of the best, happiest moments of my career.She managed to hit a good drive and a layup on the par-5 18th, then left her wedge 15 feet short. She watched Fengs putt stay to the right, and had a better line, but still missed on the right edge. Thompson then missed -- also to the right -- from 3 feet, setting off a flurry of camera clicks as the attention turned back to Pak -- 18 years after she sparked the rise in South Korean and Asian womens golf.Pak-mania ruled in the summer of `98, especially after she won the U.S. Womens Open in a 20-hole playoff against amateur Jenny Chuasiriporn. When Pak returned to South Korea that fall, she had to be hospitalized for exhaustion. Television cameras even came into her hospital room to give the latest news.Pak was a catalyst for more young players to believe they could compete on the strongest circuit in womens golf. Today, six of the top 10 players in the world and 22 of the top 45 are South Korean.I think if we had no so-called Se Ri Kids, the Korean golf scene would be quite different today, Pak said.Lee shot a 65 to take a three-stroke lead. The 21-year-old American birdied the final two holes and four of the last six on the Jack Nicklaus-designed Ocean Course.She matched her best round of the season marred by a torn labrum in her left shoulder.I actually injured my shoulder back in February and I didnt know what was wrong, Lee said. My swing was changing and all that and I definitely wasnt performing the same way I used to. It hurt a lot, a huge portion of my mental game. I was struggling a lot on the golf course not only because of my injury, but because I was scared. I was scared of the ball. I didnt know where it was going to go.After a birdie try on 16 horseshoed out, the UCLA student made a 12-footer on the par-3 17th and got up-and-down for birdie on 18 after nearly reaching the green in two.In-Kyung Kim, the winner two weeks ago in China, was second along with fellow South Korean player Jeong Min Cho, Swedens Anna Nordqvist, American Lizette Salas and Frances Karine Icher.Evian winner In Gee Chun and U.S. Womens Open champion Brittany Lang shot 69. Thompson was at 70 with Brooke Henderson , the Canadian teen playing the third of six straight weeks in Asia.South Koreas Ha Na Jang, the winner last week in Taiwan for her third victory of the year, had a 71.

NEW YORK -- From his tiny booth near the top of Arthur Ashe Stadium, David Law paints pictures for the ear.Thwacks of the balls, squeaks of the shoes, roars of the crowd, grunts and sometimes curses, from the players, are just the backdrop. Law, a BBC play-by-play announcer, layers in a flourish of rapid-fire descriptions of U.S. Open action that are aimed solely for the theater of the mind.Forehand cross-court from Djokovic, hes pushing Nadal back, back. ... Hes pummeling, but he just cant put Nadal away. Nadal slices a backhand once again, he gets to every one of these balls, its just extraordinary retrieving from the Spaniard, Law says in one of his most famous calls , of a 54-stroke rally from the 2013 final.Massive forehand by Nadal and again Djokovic reaches the ball. ... Can the Serbian player finally find a chink of light in this armor of Nadal? ... Midcourt forehand from Nadal, and still Djokovic reaches it and into the net goes Nadaaal!!Such play-by-play for an audio-only audience is among the rarest of niches in sports media. Nearly 400 media organizations from around the world are covering this years U.S. Open, but only two -- the BBC and the U.S. Tennis Associations U.S. Open Radio -- call matches exclusively for the ear.Television long ago overtook radio as sports fans preferred medium. Theres also the lightning-fast pace of tennis that makes it tough to call on the radio.But to the hardy few who embrace tennis play by play, its an art form that conveys the drama and tension of the sport in a way television -- with its commentary mostly between points -- cant.On the telly, youre just in the way. They dont need you. They can see it for themselves on the screen, says Law, who is covering his 14th straight U.S. Open for the BBC. On the radio, people are much more appreciative of what you are doing because youre doing them a favor. They cant see it.For Law, a veteran tennis journalist and podcaster , the goal is to engage a mass audience and not be too tennisy. We want people to experience it like they are there, but also have fun.BBC, which has called all of Andy Murrays appearances and other top matches for the two weeks at Flushing Meadows, has a rich tradition of covering tennis, broadcasting live from Wimbledon since 1937 and at the U.S. Open for decades. Among its most famous calls was when Max Robertson hailed the 1977 Wimbledon victory by Britains own Virgina Wade with the words, Virginia will take tea with the Queen!Literal, shot-by-shot descriptions have been replaced over the years by a more conversational style. Tweeted comments from listeners are often read between points. Color commentator, former top 50 player Jeff Tarango, offers light banter. And Law punctuates long rallies with lightning-fast asides to reflect the broader flow. Wozniackis eyes are lasering in on the ball ... Sevastova will have to worry abbout her own nerves here as much as anything else.dddddddddddd Can she cope with it? ... Sevastova has a nice bit of variety to her game. She wont worry too much about keeping pace with Wozniacki.Theres a similar patter in the booth next door, where U.S. Open Radio announcers Brian Clark and Marc Ernay go wire-to-wire for the two-week run of the tournament, describing the action from Ashe and remotely from other courts. The other Grand Slam tournaments have their own such services, and they all take on the flavor of their home countries.U.S. Open Radio, which is also fed live to SiriusXM satellite radio, offers a straightforward call. Clark and Ernay bounce their descriptions in polished sportscaster voices back and forth off a rotating cast of expert analysts, including former tour players Jimmy Arias, Jill Craybas, Elise Burgin, Kathy Rinaldi and the aforementioned Wade.Petra Kvitova serving first from the near baseline at Ashe into the looping forehand of Angelique Kerber, then cross-court forehand for both left-handed players and Kvitova flies hers long for the first point of this match, Clark intones in a typical call. And then Burgin chimes in, Any rally over four or five shots absolutely favors Kerber. And so it goes in broadcast sessions that can go on for up to six hours.U.S. Open Radio has only been on for the full tournament since 2004, and American tennis for the ear, in general, lacks any real tradition. Brian Beglane, the USTA official who runs U.S. Radio, says that unlike in Britains publicly funded radio system, there is no substantial commercial support in the U.S. for play-by-play audio tennis beyond a tournament-only smartphone app.Most of sports radio is built around a team, but tennis is a bunch of individual stars, Beglane says. You cant build a radio franchise around it as well as you can for the Mets or the Yankees, a team.BBC gets about 5.8 million listeners a week on the main channel on which it broadcasts tennis, BBC 5 Live, but how that translates to a particular match is unclear. The USTA says U.S. Open Radio got 200,000 plays through the first week of the tournament.Law is convinced, however, that the true BBC ratings are in the millions during a Murray match that airs in prime time in Britain. That was the case this week when Kei Nishikori defeated Murray, who in recent months had won Wimbledon and the Olympic gold medal.But more meaningful to Law than calling the big matches are the comments from listeners, particularly those who cant enjoy tennis any other way. Read one recent tweet: As a blind listener, your commentary really gives me an understanding of the tennis these guys are playing.Says Law: Its a privilege to be their eyes and their senses. It means the world to me.
