Road to the LPGA: Christina finished second on the Futures
Tour in 2002. |
|
Christina Kim became notorious when, as an amateur,
she shot a 62 at the U.S. Girl's Amateur Championship, the lowest
score ever shot at any USGA event. She turned pro in early 2002.
Competing on the Futures Tour, she won one event and notched 12
top tens to finish second on the money list and earn an exempt card
for the LPGA in 2003.
In 2003, she made an immediate splash at her very
first LPGA event. She played in the final group on Sunday and had
a chance to win, but finished 4th. Though she got a bit burned out
by the end of the year, she went on to finish fourth in the Rookie
of the Year standings.
