Now that first wave of Korean players has landed in America -- this year 45 of them hold tour cards -- and a typical LPGA leader board is now covered with mellifluous monosyllables: Kims and Yims, Ahns and Hans, Jangs and Kangs.</description><pubDate>Wed, 07 Mar 2007 17:25:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>S.
