The South Korean, who married her swing coach earlier this year, also told Reuters that 2014 had been the most consistent season of her career, even though she won just one major.
Park was on a tear in 2013, winning three majors in a row and claiming six titles on the leading LPGA Tour.
"Of course, I had a great year last year, so this season's three wins may seem a little less compared to that, but I am very happy with myself this year," she told Reuters.
"The biggest accomplishment for me was that I consistently made it to the top 10 more than previous years and showed a more consistent performance."
Park was a top 10 finisher in 17 of the 22 LPGA tournaments she entered in 2014, six more that the previous year, a consistency that has brought her near the $10 million mark in earnings on the tour.
Park burst on the scene in 2008 when at 19 she became the youngest player to win the U.S. Women's Open, but she failed to build on that success.
Her next win on the U.S. tour took four more years to arrive though she found some success on the Japanese tour.
"I think everyone goes through that," she said of her slump. "But I also think that I've been able to sustain this good run because I survived the difficult times.
"I rose, then fell to the very bottom, but got back on top again and I think that has made me stronger."
