Capsule Bio

Ara Koh started playing golf at the age of 10. She turned pro in 1999 and played for two years on the KLPGA, where she notched two second place finishes and won Rookie of the Year in 2000. She earned non-exempt status at 2001 Q-School, and played the tour in 2002. At 2002 Q-School she again earned non-exempt status.

In 2003, she struggled mightily, and sometime mid-season headed back to Korea in frustration to work on her game. She returned to play in the 2003 LPGA Q-School, but dropped out after two rounds. Thus she has no status on tour in 2004.

As far as I know, Ara Koh has permanently returned to playing on the KLPGA tour.
