LPGA Tour golfer Kim Mi-hyun, 32, who tied the knot with Olympic judo gold medalist Lee Won-hee last December, gave birth to a boy in Orlando, Fla., on Wednesday.
Kim and the 2.7-kg baby are both healthy, her father told reporters. Kim plans to stay at her home in Orlando for a while.
Kim, who has played on the American golf tour since 1999, won the rookie of the year award after winning two events that year and has collected eight total victories in her LPGA career.
Lee, 28, topped the 73-kilogram division at the Athens Olympics in 2004 and also claimed gold at the Doha Asian Games in 2006.
