Last night the KLPGA held their annual Awards ceremony. As you can expect, it was an event dominated by Hyo Joo Kim, who won the Player of the Year, money list title, low scoring average, and most wins. I lucked onto it last night before I went to bed and watched about half an hour.
(by the way, the KLPGA usually releases tons of photos of this event, but for some reason, there haven't been many this time around. They did the same thing two years ago, but last year was more like normal. If any more pix become available I'll be sure to add them here!)
The ladies turned out dressed to the nines as usual. Some of the highlights included a parade of winners from off the KLPGA. Included in that group were MJ Hur, Kyu Jung Baek and Hyo Joo Kim (for their LPGA wins), and several Korean winners in Japan this season (I saw Yeon Ju Jung among them).
The KLPGA winners also got a turn on stage. Sul Ah Yoon spoke for them, but In Gee Chun, Hyo Joo and a bunch others also went up to receive flowers.
Group portrait of all the winner:
In Gee Chun was busy! She won an award for Best Shot for her holeout on the 10th hole of the final round at the year's final event, the Chosun Ilbo Posco Championship. She also was voted the most popular player on tour by the fans. Dumbo Fighting!
There doesn't seem to have been a Best Dresser award this year, or at least I couldn't find the info about it.
Kyu Jung Baek won the Rookie of the Year award. Here are some pix of Baek with Hyo Joo:
And also Sun Ju Ahn:
And of course, the star of the night, Hyo Joo Kim:
This is a clip of her getting some awards:

There was one interlude featuring a rock band doing several numbers. I wasn't sure until the end, but the band seemed to feature Kyeong Bae on keyboards, several more KLPGA golfers I didn't recognize on drums and vocals. At the end of their number, the three singers did a mock golf swing.
A fun time was had by all!
