Congratulations to Na Yeon Choi on her 5th LPGA win. She had come up just a little short in 2 of her previous 5 events, finishing in 2nd place, including last week at Hana Bank. Happy to see her cash in for a win. She was due.

Congrats to NYC! Happy for her especially since she came so close in the last tournament.

That's 100 wins by players of Korean heritage (including 2 wins by Korean-American Michelle!)...can you name all the players with photos below?

I can name all of them except the last two....appear to be older pix. Is one of them Ok Hee Ku?

[bangkokbobby]

Yes! You are correct, the one on the right is Ok-Hee Ku...who won the Standard Register Turquoise Classic...later called the Safeway International...J Golf International...among other names...she was the very first Korean winner on tour...

...on the left bottom is Woo-Soon Ko...she won multiple events as a non-member, long before Jiyai Shin did the same...her two wins came at the JLPGA co-sanctioned Toray Japan Queens Cup, which would later be known as the Mizuno Classic...
