Capsule Bio

Il Hee Lee turned professional in Jun of 2006. She joined the KLPGA, where she played for the next few years. In 2009, she entered qualifying school for the LPGA. After the final round had ended, she found herself tied for the final card with another player. She had a multi-hole playoff, finally winning it to earn the last full tour card for 2010.

Lee had an OK rookie season in 2010. She finished with a bang, though, with her two best finishes, including her only top ten, coming in her final two events. She maintained playing status on tour for 2011.

In 2011, Il Hee split her time between the KLPGA and LPGA tours. She finished 91st on the LPGA money list to maintain category 11 status there. In Korea, her best finish was a 10th place at the KLPGA Championship.
