Sarah Oh moved from South Korea to Australia
while a young teenager to pursue her growing golf career.
She quickly became one of the top amateur golfers in the country,
and has amassed a large resume of impressive victories in
her time down under. Some of her victories include the 2006
Australian Junior Championship, in which she defeated Amy
Yang by a shot to take the crown; the 2005 Australian Women's
Amateur; and the 2006 Master Card Junior Masters. In 2005
alone, she swept the New South Wales Amateur Stroke play championship,
the NSW Match Play and the NSW 72 hole stroke play championship.
Sarah turned pro late in 2007 and joined the
minor league Australian Ladies Pro Golf Tour. She immediately
made an impact there, winning her first tournament within
a few months of turning pro, and nearly winning a second,
which she lost on the final day to English superstar Laura
Davies. She also attended LPGA Q-School, where she acquired
a non-exempt card.
Sarah played all over the place in 2008, including
the KLPGA, trying to gain experience. She missed the cut in
the few LPGA events she entered, however, and failed to get
any 2009 tour status at Q School in December.
