Mi Jung Hur is a promising teen amateur. She
has competed mostly in South Korea, but occasionally comes
to the States to play in an important event. She did that
at the 2006 US Women's Amateur, where she qualified for match
play and made it through several rounds before being eliminated.
She was given a sponsor's exemption to the
2006 Kolon-Hana Bank Championship and made the most of it.
She was legitimately in contention for two rounds and wound
up finishing tied for sixth.
Hur has continued to play in important amateur
events throughout the world. She won individual honors at
the 2006 Queen Sirikit Cup, a team event where 13 Pacific
Rim countries send teams to compete. She played in the 2007
US Women's Amateur, but lost in the second round to fellow
Korean teen Ha Na Jang.
