Capsule Bio

Ran Hong turned professional in 2004 and played a junior tour in Korea. She quickly had success there, notching top three finishes in four of the five events she played, including a win. In 2005, she joined the KLPGA. She was a decent player that year, even finishing in fifth place at the Shinsegae.

Ran Hong improved significantly in 2006. That year, she had four top tens on tour and finished ninth on the money list. She also had several good chances to win. Her best performance came at the Shinsegae, which she led much of the week, only to lose to Jee Young Lee at the very end. Still, her tie for second was her best KLPGA finish yet.

Talented and stylish, Ran Hong won the KLPGA's Best Dresser award in 2006. She has continued to play on the KLPGA; in 2007, she finished 10th on the money list.
