Capsule Bio |

Young Ran Jo joined the KLPGA in 2006. She got out to a rather slow start early, but by the end of the season was putting up good finishes. She ended the year with top tens in her final three events. Jo made a big improvement, however, in 2007. She collected five top tens, but the biggest of these came at a huge event: she won the 5th and final KB Star tour event to collect 125,000,000 won first prize. Weirdly, she badly missed the cut in her final two events of the year; perhaps either burnout or injury is the explanation, as her final five rounds of the year were all in the 80s. Nonetheless, she finished 5th on the money list. Jo had a more mediocre 2008 season, although early on she did manage two top five finishes in three weeks. In 2009, she only finished 27th on the money list, with just one top ten finish during the year. 2010 was slightly better for her: she finished 22nd on the money list with a second place finish at the LIG Classic her best result. Jo finished 17th on the 2011 KLPGA money list. By far her best result came at the final event of the season, the ADT-CAPS. She wound up in a playoff with Ha Neul Kim, the top player on tour. Through 7 grueling holes they battled before Jo managed to put Kim away for the win. |
