Yeon Ju Jung was a rookie on the KLPGA tour
in 2011. She very quickly established herself as the top rookie:
in just her second event, she finished 3rd. In May, she broke
through in a Major way when she triumphed at the year's first
Major, the Korean Women's Open. It would be her only win in
2011, but she had 7 total top tens and earned over 280 million
won to finish 5th on the season ending money list. She easily
won the league's Rookie of the Year award.
In addition, she had a top ten at the Ha Na
Bank Championship, the event jointly sponsored by the LPGA
and KLPGA. She got this finish thanks largely to a blistering
7 under par 65 in the final round.
At the end of the year, she participated in
a dance number (with five other first time winners) at the
annual KLPGA Awards show.
