'Flying Dumbos' celebrate after Chun's Open win

As a mathematics prodigy with a near genius IQ level of 138, it is safe to say the nickname 'Dumbo' is not a reference to golfer Chun In-gee's intelligence.

The 20-year-old became the latest South Korean to score top marks on the LPGA Tour by bagging the US Open on Sunday, becoming the first player to win the tournament on her initial attempt since compatriot Birdie Kim in 2005.

The US Open trophy has become a frequent visitor to Seoul over the past decade, with Korean golfers winning seven of the past 11 titles. Chun's win was the 12th by a South Korea-born player in 17 LPGA Tour events this year.
