Road to the LPGA: T-7th at 2004 Q-School to gain Exempt
card for 2005. |
|
As an amateur, Sae Hee Son was a member of
the 2003 Korean National team. She turned pro in late 2004,
and immediately finished tied for 7th at LPGA Q-School to
earn her exempt card for the 2005 season. Her season was by
and large what you would expect: a learning process, and she
was forced to return to Q-School at the end of the year. Fortunately,
she regained her exempt status by finishing 16th at Q-School.
In 2006, Son started out OK, even scoring
a tie for 22nd at her first event of the year. But starting
with the Takefuji Classic in May, her scores ballooned, and
she had completely disappeared from tour by mid-May. She was
limited to eight events that season due to a right ankle injury.
In 2007, she was healthy, but missed all but two cuts and
made only $7,000. She was not able to maintain her tour card,
and failed to get a new one of any kind at Q-School.
Son played the Futures Tour starting in 2008
and in Korea a little later, but seems to have retired after
the 2014 season.
