Jung Eun Lee turned pro and joined the KLPGA
in 2007, but her breakthrough year came in 2009. That year
she won twice, collected 6 top tens and made over 280 million
won, finishing fourth on the year end money list. By far her
biggest moment came at the year's second Major, the Shinsegae
KLPGA Championship. She wound up in a pitched battle with
top KLPGA superstar Hee Kyung Seo for the title. Seo had already
won the first Major of the year, the Korean Women's Open.
But Lee proved her better this day, winning the Major while
Seo finished second. Seo would go on to win the other two
Majors of the year, so only Lee prevented her from sweeping
them all.
Lee played on the winning Korean squad at
the 2009 Kyoraku Cup. She achieved one win and one tie during
the tournament.
Lee had another pretty good year in 2010.
She finished 7th on the KLPGA money list, carding 9 top tens.
The highlight of her year was a win at the Hyundai event in
September.
Lee had a decent year on tour in 2011, but
not as strong as her previous seasons. She did win once, capturing
the Nefs Masterpiece title in August. She had two other top
tens and earned nearly 200 million won, which left her 15th
on the money list.
