• How she got started in golf: “I was always a strong athlete when I was young. I was an MVP in soccer, skied as much as possible, and was a pretty good swimmer. One day, my dad suggested I tryout for the golf team, and I really liked the subtlety, quietness and solitude of the game. It also didn’t hurt that the University of Washington Men’s Team used to practice at my home course.” • Most memorable golf moment: “When I came from five down off the front nine with the five-time Washington State Amateur Champion to win the match and tournament. I played the back nine 3-under par to go to the nineteenth hole.” • Funniest thing that ever happened on the golf course: "I was hitting out of a bunker and I heard a loud noise as if someone was hitting into us. I looked back and nobody was there. I turned back to hit my shot and there was a fish right by my ball. A bird dropped a fish when it flew over the bunker." • What was most memorable about your trip to Japan: "It was such a different place than Seattle or Los Angeles. It was really peaceful, yet so bustling. It was so modern, but also had so much history. As for the tournament, I played really well, and it was my first taste of success as a college golfer proving myself against qualified competition." • Favorite golf course: Doral Golf Resort & Spa, "Blue Monster", Miami, FL • Favorite quote: "Listen to your dreams-those are the sounds no one else can hear." -Kobi Yamada • Representation: Joon Choi, Asia Sports & Entertainment - 626-797-9212 jchoi@asiasports.us
