How Sung Hyun Park overcomes language barrier with American caddie

22-year-old South Korean star Sung Hyun Park can't speak the same language as her caddie Jeff King, but that hasn't kept the pair from putting up impressive scores over the weekend at the U.S. Women's Open at CordeValle Golf Club.

Park, who has won three events this year on the KLPGA Tour, has played sparingly in the United States this year and paired up with King for her American events. King doesn't speak Korean, but the two have worked out a system based on drawings and hand movements that allow the two of them to swap the necessary information.
