VIDEO: Clueless LPGA fans almost walk right into Inbee Park

You'd think with two players tied in the final group heading to the final hole in the final round of a golf tournament that the fans in attendance might be paying attention.

Two clueless fans at the LPGA Tour's Lotte Championship on Saturday were lollygagging along the course, but suddenly found themselves way too close to one of the tournament leaders.

As Inbee Park and Sei Young Kim were walking to the final hole at Ko Olina on Hawaii, a pair of fans were locked in a conversation and didn't realize they were walking perpendicular to the approaching players -- that is, until the fans nearly walked squared into Park, who had made a crucial up-and-down for par on the prior hole.

Park sidestepped the fans, who did stop inches short of her, and got ready to play the last hole.
