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.
