Hyun Ju Shin turned pro in 2001 and played for a
few years on the KLPGA. She moved over to the JLPGA a few years
later, and had a lot of success, becoming one of the top Korean
golfers on that tour. In 2006, she finished 5th on the money list
and had a win on tour, but only finished 12th on the money list
in 2007 with no wins.
Shin has represented Korea at the Kyoraku Cup several
times, and has had a fair amount of success there. She is somewhat
of a secret weapon, in fact, having won all her matches in 2005,
2006 and 2007.
In 2008, she played at the ANZ Ladies Masters. In
the rain shortened event, she had at least a share of the lead most
of the week until the final hole, when she missed a short putt to
lose the tournament to British player Lisa Hall. Still, it was a
great performance for Shin, suggesting more great stuff to come.
