Korean American women continue to shine in professional golf with four young women earning their full LPGA tour cards yesterday at the LPGA Final Qualifying Tournament.
Christine Song, 20, of Fullerton, Calif., was the best of the quartet finishing second with a total of 8-under par in five rounds of golf.
Song earned two wins on the second-tier tour in 2010 to finish third on the money list and had her first taste of the LPGA Tour in 2011, according to the Chosun Ilbo.
But due to an underwhelming season, Song was forced to go through the Qualifying Tournament again to reconfirm her berth.
The top 20 among the 142 golfers competing in the Qualifying Tournament are given a full seed on the LPGA Tour next season.
Jennie Lee, the 2005 U.S. Junior champion, came third after shooting 4-under, Angela Oh took a share of 9th after finishing at 3-over, and Hannah Yun was one stroke behind to place 15th. They all qualified for the Tour.
