Capsule Bio

Hannah Jun started playing golf at the age of 12. She quickly became a top junior in the AJGA. In 2002, she was runner up at the World Junior Golf Championship, and in 2003, she won the Callaway World Junior Golf Championship. She joined the UCLA golf team in 2003 and was a top player for that squad for four years, where she was a teammate of Tiffany Joh for several years.

In late 2005, Hannah was in a horrific car accident. It took her several months to recover from the various injuries she received. But six months later, she was back on the golf course competing at a high level.

After graduating from college in 2007, Hannah turned her sights on qualifying for the LPGA. She competed on the minor league Cactus tour, then finished tied for 25th at Q-School to earn conditional status for 2008.

In 2008, Jun only made a few cuts in the LPGA events she played; her best finish was a tie for 25th. She lost all playing status on tour for 2009. That year, she played on the Futures Tour, where she finished 28th on the money list.

She returned to the Futures Tour in 2010, but this time had a much better season. She wound up 9th on the money list, earning limited tour status on the LPGA for 2011. She had 7 top tens during the year, with her best finish being a tie for 2nd.
