Ji Na Lim joined the KLPGA in 2006. She collected
four top tens that year. But it was 2007 in which she really broke
through on tour. She had five top tens that year, but her first
top five finishes. She really picked it up at the end of the year,
with a 5th place finish at the Hite Cup, followed by her first win
at the S-OIL Invitational. She finished 8th on the money list in
2007, 18th in 2008.
2009 was a return to form for Lim. She won another
event, the LG Electronics Women's Open, and had four other top tens,
to finish 8th on the money list. She even got her first chance to
appear as an entertainer at the year ending KLPGA Awards show, dancing
in a salsa number with other top stars.
Ji Na Lim had a pretty weak 2010 on the KLPGA tour.
She only finished 37th on the money list, and had just 2 top tens
during the year, the best result being a 9th. In the Fall, she attended
Japanese LPGA Qualifying School. She finished 12th and will presumably
join that tour full time in 2011.
Lim did not end up finishing on the top 50 of the
JLPGA money list in 2011. She did better in Korea, playing multiple
events on the KLPGA. There, she managed three third places, including
a semifinal loss to Soo Jin Yang at the Doosan Match Play. She was
29th on the KLPGA money list.
