Korean star Jang homes in on happiness

Six weeks after surprising the golf world by quitting the LPGA Tour, Korea's Jang Ha-na said she stood by her decision to leave the US circuit, because being at home and closer to her aging parents took precedent.

Speaking in Shandong province during the Kumho Tire Ladies Open, the world No 13 said she was keen to move on from any controversy caused by rescinding her LPGA Tour membership and instead concentrate on securing her first win of the LPGA of Korea season.

China's No 1 Feng Shanshan carded a 6-under 66 to lead the rain-interrupted first round on Thursday by two shots from South Korean Jeong Hae-won.
