Template:Short description Template:Family name hatnote Template:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox golfer Ji Eun-hee (Template:Korean/auto; born 13 May 1986), also known as Eun-Hee Ji, is a South Korean professional golfer who plays on the U.S.-based LPGA Tour. She is also a member of the South Korean KLPGA. She was born in Gapyeong, South Korea.

LPGA career

Ji joined the LPGA Tour in 2007 and recorded two top-10 finishes in just four events played, including runner-up at the Hana Bank-KOLON Championship. She made her first appearance in a major championship at the 2007 Women's British Open and finished in 5th place.

In 2008, Ji claimed her first LPGA win at the Wegmans LPGA, with a come-from-behind, two-stroke victory over Norwegian star Suzann Pettersen.

In 2009, she made a Script error: No such module "convert". birdie on the 72nd hole of the U.S. Women's Open to win by one stroke. As with the 2008 Wegmans, this was a come-from-behind victory. Trailing Cristie Kerr, Ji overcame a double bogey on the 10th and birdied the 13th, 14th and 18th holes.[1]

In 2012, Ji finished tied for second in the LPGA Championship. She had been leading the tournament going into the final round.[2][3]

Controversy

After Ji won the 2008 Wegmans LPGA, she gave her acceptance speech with the help of a translator. Some say this sparked the proposed "English only" requirement by the LPGA.[4] Ji later commented that she felt the proposed requirement may have targeted her and that in the future she would "pay more attention to improving my English."[5] Over a year later after winning the U.S. Women's Open, she again used a translator for her acceptance speech.
