Capsule Bio |
|
Yun Ji Cho is a golfer with a very interesting, athletic family. Her father was the manager of a Major league baseball team in Korea. Her mother was on the Korean Olympic volleyball team in Montreal, and later played the sport professionally. Her older sister Yoon Hee, meanwhile, is a professional golfer on the KLPGA. Yun Ji started her golf career by playing on the Dream Tour, the developmental tour for the KLPGA. In 2009, she led the money list on that tour, and thus qualified for membership on the KLPGA in 2010, where she joined her sister as one of two sister acts on tour. 2010 was a very solid season for the young KLPGA rookie. She won her first tournament, the Volvik Lyle & Scott Women's Open, and notched five other top tens to finish 8th on the money list and earn the Rookie of the Year award that season. Cho struggled much more in 2011. She finished 41st on the KLPGA money list, with two 4th place finishes the main highlights of her year. |
