SEOUL (Reuters) - World number 10 Jang Ha-na is rescinding her membership of the U.S. LPGA Tour and will return to South Korea to compete on the domestic women's golf circuit from next month, her agency Sportizen said on Monday.

The 25-year-old, who has had four wins on the elite U.S. tour since her 2015 rookie season and earned more than $2.6 million in prize money, has endured a trying year because of issues away from the course.
