Capsule Bio |
|
Sun Ju Ahn joined the KLPGA tour in 2006. She had a pretty good rookie year, collecting a win and 8 other top tens, including two second place finishes. Despite that, she was thoroughly overshadowed by another rookie at the time, Ji Yai Shin. But in 2007, her career really took off. She played very well in two Australian events, scoring top tens in both and even leading the ANZ Masters for a while before fading to 4th. When she returned to the KLPGA, she made an immediate impact, winning the second event she played that year, the first KB Star Tour event. But it was her performance at the year's biggest event, the Korean Women's Open, that really put her on the map. She held off American star Cristie Kerr to win the title and take over first place on the money list. Eventually, Shin would reassert her dominance in a major way, but Ahn would win a third KLPGA event in 2007 and collect 12 top tens in total. She finished third on the money list, and established herself as a budding superstar in Korean golf. |
