SUNNY OH

The Facts

Capsule Bio

Sunny was born March 20, 1983. She grew up in Seoul, where she attended high school at Sea Hwa Girls Senior High School. Like a lot of other girls these days, she also took up golf, and became quite good at it. Apparently she commuted back and forth between Korea and the States, because she also excelled as a junior golfer here, earning AJGA Honorable Mention All American honors after notching five top tens in just ten starts. She also won the Independent Insurance Agents Junior Classic in 2001.

After graduation, Sunny attended UNLV, where she quickly became the most decorated women's golfer in the school's history. Among her many achievements was an 11th place finish at the NCAA Championship, a victory at the NCAA West Regional, top tens in half her events played in 2002, and a second place finish at the Mountain West Conference Championship. She has ranked as high as 16th nationally.

She first tried to qualify for an LPGA event when the tour came to Vegas in 2003 for the Takefuji Classic. But she lost in a playoff for the final spot and missed her chance to play in the event.

In 2004, Sunny has been even more impressive than she had been before. She was named Mountain West Conference Women's Golfer of the Month for April after winning the BYU Dixie Classic and leading her team to the largest win in school history. Several more records were broken that day thanks to Sunny. She had also won the conference's Player of the Month award in March.

Sunny did qualify for the 2004 Takefuji, where she finished tied for 49th. Thus, she decided to leave school before graduating and turn pro.

Unfortunately, she did not have too much success on the Futures Tour in 2004, and ended up missing the cut at 2004 LPGA Q-School. In 2008, she continues to hone her game on the Futures Tour.
