She is the second Korean American to win the most prestigious title in Ladies Amateur Golf. From AP-
Jennifer Song became the second woman to win two U.S. Golf Association championships in the same year, beating Jennifer Johnson 3 and 1 on Sunday in the U.S. Women’s Amateur final at Old Warson.
The
19-year-old Song, coming off her freshman year at Southern California, won the U.S. Women’s Amateur Public Links winner in June and was the low amateur last month in the U.S. Women’s Open. Born in Ann Arbor, Mich., she lives in South Korea.
Pearl Sinn is the only other woman to win two USGA titles in a year, taking the 1988 Amateur and Public Links. Five men have accomplished the feat.
Pearl Sinn or Pearl Sinn-Bonnani as she is known these days, is also Korean-American. The difference between Pearl and Jennifer plus 2007 Amateur winner Kimberly Kim, is that Pearl was born in South Korea and immigrated to the United States when she was a youth.
I wonder if Mark Reason is bursting a blood vessel due to Song’s victory. Many of the top amateur golfers in the United States have Korean Dads. Just like Jennifer Song and Kimberly Kim.
