Sue attended the University of Denver, but
quit after one semester in early 2010 to focus on golf. That
year, unfortunately, her father was killed in a car accident,
and it took her some time to refocus on golf after that horrible
event. She did turn pro and joined the Symetra Tour in 2011.
She also played at the 2011 US Women's Open, where she finished
tied for 50th.
Kim finished 81st on the Symetra money list
in 2011. In 2012, she did better, making the cut in all but
2 events and finishing 23rd on the money list.
Kim attended LPGA Q-School in the Fall and
earned limited status for 2013 by finishing 32nd. She played
only a few events on the LPGA tour that season, but focused
on the Symetra Tour, where she earned a tour card for 2014
by finishing 6th on the Symetra Tour money list.
In 2014, she played more events and thus earned
more money, around $44,000. That gave her a ranking of 118th
on the money list, good enough to maintain a limited tour
card. Her best result came in Canada, her home country, where
she finished tied for 35th at the Manulife Financial LPGA
Classic.
Kim struggled in 2015, making just $15,129
and finishing 145th on the money list. Her status sunk to
category 20 for 2016. She wound up playing in just one event
on the LPGA in 2016, the US Women's Open. She finished tied
for 65th and did not retain any status on tour for 2017. She
focused instead on the Symetra Tour, where she had one top
ten. She finished 60th on the Symetra Tour money list with
about $15,000 earned.
As of 2017, Kim does not seem to be playing
on the Symetra Tour anymore, but she still seems to be working
on her golf according to her Instagram page, so she might
still be trying to make it as a pro somewhere.
