Rookie Haeji Kang Earns First Professional Win In 2008 in Richmond
Seventeen-year-old rookie Haeji Kang (68) of Seoul, South Korea, edged out Sophia Sheridan (66) of Guadalajara, Mexico, in a one-hole playoff to earn her first professional win at the inaugural $100,000
iMPACT Classic.
Sara Brown (68) of Tucson, Ariz., Stacy Lewis (70) of the Woodlands, Texas, Nicole Hage (71) of Coral Springs, Fla., and Vicky Hurst (72) of Melbourne, Fla., finished four strokes back at 7-under-par 209.
Kang, the youngest professional member of the Duramed FUTURES Tour, collected a paycheck of $14,000 and moved into the top 10 on the season money list.
“I can’t describe how happy I am right now,” said Kang, who will turn 18 in November. “I almost cried on the 18th hole.”
