Biography:
Mi Sun Cho moved from Korea to Melbourne, Australia in late 1999. Like many Korean golfers, she moved to a Western country to have better access to golf courses and training.
In the past couple of years, she has quickly risen to be one of the top junior players in the country, and is nationally ranked in the seniors as well. At the 2003 Australian Amateur championships, she really made a name for herself. Not only did her team of herself and fellow young Korean Claire Choi win the foursome title, but Cho herself made it all the way to the finals in singles. She lost that match, but at times had as much as a 3 up advantage.
Mi Sun also won the Australian Junior Championship in 2004, and backed that up by successfully defending in 2005, leading the three round event from start to finish. She won by four shots despite a punishing 80 in the third round. The second and third place finishers were Sarah Oh and Helen Oh (no relation), also Korean. Mi Sun became only the third player to win more than one Junior Girl's Championship in Australia; one of the others was current LPGA golfer Gloria Park.
Eventually, Cho went to college in America at Pepperdine, where she was a freshman in 2006-2007. She has already had success there, leading her team to a victory at the prestigious Northrop Grumman Regional Challenge in February, 2007. Pepperdine beat 14 nationally ranked teams at this event, and Cho won the individual honors as top player as well.
Cho turned pro after her freshman year and joined the Canadian Women's tour. She played well enough there to qualify for the Canadian Women's Open, where she finished a solid 34th.

Lydia Ko Profile
Birthday: April 24, 1997

Name: Lydia Ko
Rookie Year On LPGA: Amateur
Birth Place: South Korea
Residence: Auckland, New Zealand
Height: Unknown
Nick Names: None Known
How's her English?: Fluent
Biography:
Lydia Ko was born in South Korea, and moved to New Zealand with her family when she was 6 years old. She had hit balls in Korea on practice ranges, but took up the game in earnest upon arriving in her new home. Within a few years, she became one of the top junior golfers in New Zealand.
In 2009, Lydia lost in the finals of the New Zealand National Amateur Golf Championship, losing to fellow Korean expatriate teenager Cecilia Cho in the final.
Ko continued to stun people everywhere with her talent in 2010. As a 12 year old she finished tied for 7th at the New Zealand Women's Golf Championship, just five shots behind winner Laura Davies. In April, she helped lead New Zealand to a second place finish at the Sirikit Cup, an important team event. She finished 4th in the individual standings.
Ko's star continued to rise in 2011. She came agonizingly close to winning a professional event on the ALPG in January. She was leading with one hole to go but missed a three foot par putt on the final hole to lose by one shot. Had she won, at age 13, she would have broken the record for youngest girl to win a professional golf event by THREE YEARS. At the LET's New Zealand Women's Golf Championship, she bettered her 2010 performance by finishing fourth, and finished tied for 12th at the Handa Australian Masters, another LET event.
By March she rose to the #3 women's world amateur ranking. At this point, her rivalry with good friend Cecilia Cho heated up. Ko claimed the Australian Stroke Play title by beating Cho in a two hole playoff, but lost the Australian Amateur Match Play in the quarterfinals.
Ko then won the New Zealand Stroke Play Championship, beating Cho by 9 shots. This event set up the draw for the New Zealand Match Play Championship, which once again ended up being a final matchup between Cho and Ko. And once again, Ko triumphed, beating her friend 4 and 3 in the final despite the fact Cho had won the event the two previous years. This allowed Ko to rise to #1 in the amateur rankings, knocking Cho down to #2. Ko became the first woman to ever hold both the Australian and New Zealand Stroke Play titles in the same year.
In May, Ko also won the Muriwai Ladies Open, beating a field of pros and amateurs. She then launched her first effort to play in the big European and American amateur events. She lost early in the British Women's Amateur, but claimed the co-medalist honors at the US Women's Amateur before falling in the second round of match play.
Expect to hear much more from this amazing talent in years to come!

Isabelle Beisiegel Biography, Pictures And Wallpapers

History was made on May 27, 2011, in British Columbia, when Isabelle Beisiegel made it through Q-School

to earn non-exempt status on the Canadian Tour. A woman golfer now has status on a "men's tour." This is the first time that's happened.
Congrats to Beisiegel, who has had years of frustration trying to player her way into men's tournaments, while also (sorry to be blunt) failing to make a mark in women's golf. She's also been through some health issues that interrupted her career. She perservered, kept fighting, and now she's accomplished something that had never been done before. Good job, Izzy!

Became the first player to win both the WGC-Accenture Match Play and the World Match Play Championship when he beat Luke Donald in the final of the latter at Finca Cortesin in Spain in May 2011. Just over a year earlier he beat Paul Casey to become the first English winner of the WGC-Accenture World Match Play, during a season which was arguably the finest of his career. It started with a runner-up finish at the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship, then he was in contention in the Masters Tournament but had to settle for tied tenth, before he made a huge contribution to Europe’s Ryder Cup victory over the USA, winning three points from four at The Celtic Manor Resort. That continued his fine Ryder Cup record, having been the leading points scorer with four from five at Valhalla in 2008 after being selected as a wild card pick. Ended 2010 in the same vein, winning the UBS Hong Kong Open a week after he finished tied sixth in his defence of the Barclays Singapore Open title. Nearly notched his 11th European Tour victory at the season-ending Dubai World Championship presented by DP World but lost in a play-off with Robert Karlsson. However, second spot was enough to finish a career-high fourth in The Race to Dubai. Also broke into the world’s top five for the first time during 2010 and ended the season eighth in the Official World Golf Ranking. Renown for having a passion for fashion and flair, he launched his own clothing range in 2007, the same year he married his long-time fiancée Katie. Took up the game at the age of four when dad, Terry, a single figure handicapper, gave him a cut-down three wood. Won The Sir Henry Cotton Rookie of the Year in 2000 and four years later made a successful Ryder Cup debut as part of Bernhard Langer’s victorious European Team. Is an avid supporter of Arsenal FC and travelled to the Champions League Final on the Wednesday night of the 2006 Irish Open, chartering a plane which got him there and back in time for his 7.50am tee time on the Thursday morning.

Biography:
Hyo Joo Kim is an amateur who began making big noise with her talent as a 14 year old in 2009.
That year, she played brilliantly at two KLPGA Major championships. At the Hite Cup, she was one of the leaders after the first round, and was even fifth as late as the start of the fourth round. At that point she stumbled somewhat, but still compiled an impressive T-13th result. At the KB Star Tour Grand Final, she was again in the top five after the first round, but ended up tied for 34th.
In 2010, she led Korea to a victory at the Queen Sirikit Cup, an important team event. She also won individual honors thanks to a final round 65. She was 8 shots ahead of the next player in the field. Later in the year, she finished tied for third at the Rush & Cash Charity Classic on the KLPGA tour.
Despite her quality amateur results, she was not one of the three golfers chosen to represent Korea at the 2010 Asian Games. That squad won the team gold and individual gold without her, showing just how deep they are.
Hyo Joo continued to be a top junior golfer over the next two seasons. In July of 2010, she won the R&A Junior Open Girls golf title in Fife, Scotland, by three shots; Korean New Zealander Cecilia Cho was third.
In 2011, she was again on Korea's squad for the Queen Sirikit Cup. She finished second, one shot out of the gold medal spot, but Korea won the team gold by four shots.

She was not able to qualify for the US Women's Amateur later that summer, however, only achieving alternate status.
She had some good results on the KLPGA tour in 2011. In June, she finished tied for 5th at the Woori Investment & Securities Ladies Championship. She led the Korean Women's Open after the first and second round, but a poor weekend reduced her to 15th. She also had a 9th at the Lotte Mart Women's Open.
