Jeong Jang's Homecoming

 Pages 1, 2, 3, 4
On the 9th of August, Jeong Jang received yet another award. She has been named a publicity ambassador for the Korean Red Cross. It never gets old!
And one more award, which she received on the 11th of August. Here she is named a Culture and Sports Publicity ambassador by the province of Choong Chung Nam Do.

In addition to all these public appearances, JJ appeared on no fewer than three television shows in her time in Korea. There were rumors abounding that sponsors were lining up at her door, and her father is currently sifting through multiple offers in the hopes of lining up three to four sponsors in the immediate future. JJ has not had a major sponsor since Zinus left her several years ago, but it looks like that may soon end.

And so the fun ends, and JJ heads back to the States in time for her next appearance on the LPGA tour, at the Safeway Classic. But her trip back to Korea following her first LPGA win is one she will surely never forget.

Bonus! If you are interested in seeing some news footage of JJ's Victory tour (in Korean, but the pictures tell you all you need to know), click the links below:
