She took advantage. In her very first event back,
the SBS Open, she got into a playoff with Joo Mi Kim and Lorena
Ochoa for the title. She outlasted Ochoa, but Kim beat her on the
second playoff hole. The rest of her 2006 LPGA results were fairly
poor, but she did win an event on the KLPGA tour in July. 2007 was
another mediocre year for Moon, although she did manage to hang
on to an exempt card by finishing in the top 90 on the money list.
She played several KLPGA events that year, signaling a growing interest
in that tour.
In 2008, after playing a few events early in the
year on the LPGA, Moon focused almost exclusively on the KLPGA,
where her highlight was a second place finish at the 2nd KB Star
Tour event.
Moon returned to playing in Korea full time in 2009,
losing her playing privileges in America in the process. She had
an all right season that year on the KLPGA, finishing 22nd on the
money list and achieving three top tens. Her best finish by far
came at the Hill State Kyeongjae Open, where she had a shot at the
win and finished 2nd.
Moon finished 73rd on the money list in 2011, but
from 2012 to 2013, she played so few events that she did not register
on the money list at all. She has not played at all since June,
2013, and has possibly retired.
