Another week, another Korean contends on the Futures Tour This week's event was the Isleta Casino & Resort Gold Classic in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and yet another different Korean player made a splash. The second round leader was Aram Cho of South Korea, a 19 year old who had managed one top ten so far in 2004, an 8th in Wichita. Cho played well on the final day, but Australian player Lindsey Wright steamed from out of the pack to draw even with her at the turn. Cho played the back nine well, but Wright was on fire, and that was the difference: Wright won the event at 13 under par. Aram Cho finished second at 11 under, enabling her to move into the top ten of the Futures Tour money list herself. Mee Na Lee grabbed a fourth place finish, Seon Hwa Lee a 9th and Jimin Kang a 20th. So now the Futures Tour money list has Kang at the top, Seon Hwa Lee second by about 3 thousand dollars, Mee Na Lee 4th, and Aram Cho 5th. If the season ended today, four of the five players to gain LPGA cards would be Korean. Woh! |

Money List Se Ri Pak picked a great week to bring her A game out of mothballs. After playing good but not top level golf all year, she exploded on the weekend at the Michelob Ultra with two amazing rounds to come from 10 shots back and win. Her $330,000 winner's check vaults her up from 14th to 3rd on the money list. Also benefiting from her best event of the year was Hee-Won Han, who has struggled much more than Se Ri has in 2004. She leapfrogged from 44th to 18th thanks to her tie for 4th. Grace Park had a decent but somewhat disappointing 12th place in her title defense, allowing Se Ri to make up nearly $300,000 on her. Soo Yun Kang started well but faded big time; still, she helped her money list cause as well. |
