Ji Hee Lee is one of the top Korean players
who does not play on the LPGA. She turned pro in 1998 and
has had a lot of success since then. Among the players she
professes to admire are Americans Juli Inkster and Fred Couples.
Ji Hee is sponsored by LG Insure, a prominent
Korean company. In 2003, she continued her winning ways and
then some, winning 4 times on the JLPGA tour, finishing second
three times, and notching 11 top tens in all. This qualified
her for the Pinx Cup, where she joined the winning efforts
of the Korean team in beating the Japanese players for the
second year in a row.
For 2004 - 2006, Lee is remaining on the JLPGA
tour, but with her talent, the LPGA is probably in her near
future.
In 2006, Lee has once again established herself
as one of the top players on the JLPGA with several wins.
She was rewarded by being ranked as one of the top players
in the world on the Rolex World Ranking. 2007 was an off year
for her in Japan; she did not win and only finished 38th on
the money list, after being 4th on the JLPGA list in 2006.
