Ga Na Lee is a rookie on the KLPGA tour in 2005.
She first rose to prominence when she won the Maekyong Open on the
KLPGA tour. In order to do this, she had to beat four LPGA golfers
who were in the field, all of whom had won on the LPGA tour in 2005:
Jeong Jang, Meena Lee, Birdie Kim and Marisa Baena (Soo-Yun Kang
was also in the field, but dropped out due to injury).
Ga Na continued to have a strong 2005 season after
her win, and a decent 2006 season as well. She struggled a lot in
2007, however, not even finishing in the top 100 on the KLPGA money
list. She played no events in 2008, and thereafter appeared only
occasionally in minor league events or Qualifying School before
disappearing entirely after 2011. Presumably she has retired.
