Blast from the Past

Here's a blast from the past. This photo was taken at the 1999 US Women's Open. All five ladies pictured here are currently LPGA members with at least one career win under their belts. But can you recognize them from six years ago?

From left to right, they are: Grace Park, who at the time had turned pro but not yet joined the LPGA; Soo-Yun Kang, who was still a couple of years away from joining the tour (she was at the time the top player on the KLPGA tour); Jimin Kang, who was still in high school at the time; Se Ri Pak, who had five career wins to her credit, and was the US Women's Open's defending champion (and still sponsored by Samsung); and Jeong Jang, all of 19 years old, not yet on the LPGA tour (and six years away from her first Major win at the US Women's British Open). Ah, nostalgia!
