Capsule Bio |
|
Song Yi Choi was born in Seoul, South Korea. She was a four time member of the Korean National Team from 2002-2005. She turned pro in 2007 and joined the Futures Tour. In that season, she finished 14th on the money list. The following year, she did much better. Indeed, she was in the top five on the money list for much of the 2008 season, but slipped to 6th by the end of the year. Fortunately, they changed the rules on tour, extending LPGA membership to all golfers who finished in the top ten on the money list (formerly, only those in the top five received cards). She thus earned a category 17 status on tour for the 2009 LPGA season. Song Yi only played a few events on tour in 2009 and didn't make the cut in any of them. She concentrated on the Futures Tour, where she finished fifth on the money list for the season to earn category 9 status on the LPGA for 2010. In 2010, she again made no cuts, but maintained status thanks to a medical exemption. Once again, she missed the cut in all her LPGA tournaments in 2011. She finally lost LPGA playing privileges, and does not seem to have Symetra Tour membership, either. Presumably she has retired. |
