Park Sung-hyun, a star player on the South Korean female golf tour, has selected Paula Creamer's caddie Colin Cann for her LPGA Tour debut next season, her management agency said Wednesday.

Cann, who has been on Creamer's bag since 2005, will join Park's US camp, Sema Sports said. Cann had worked with Annika Sorenstam for six years.

The 23-year-old left South Korea on November 16 to compete at the Pure Silk-Bahamas Classic in January as a regular LPGA member. She purchased a home in Orlando, Florida and hired a physical trainer.

Park competed in seven LPGA Tour events this year as a nonmember and posted four top-10 finishes, three of them at major championships.

At home, Park has become this year's money leader with seven victories and a total prize money of more than 1.3 billion won (1.1 million US dollars). She is popular for her aggressive style and as a long hitting golfer, averaging 265.6 yards off the tee.
