I didn't see a lot of Lucky 6 at Bedminster, but she sure impressed me...cute, solidly built, and a super sound golf swing. If that's not enough, check out this LONG article from last month (had to split it in halves for Google Translate):
sports.news.naver.com/golf/news/read.nhn?oid=380&aid=0000001035
A few highlights:
1. Comes from Suncheon...had to look on Google Maps to find it...the extreme south next to the sea.
2. First wanted to be a teaching pro, as there were no women instructors in Suncheon...changed her goal to touring pro when she started playing really well.
3. Until Bedminster, she never played with 40+ year-old pros before...was not distracted by C. Kerr in Round Four: "I could not understand what she said because I could not speak English" (laughs).
4. Her father was in a car accident at age 4 and has been in a wheelchair ever since.
5. Had minimal financial resources available as she pursued golf...hitting it big on the KLPGA has allowed her to improve her family's environment.

A lot of good stuff on her IG...a few samples:
w/ Hye Jin Choi after returning home from the USWO:
How do you mark your Titleist?
Just an assumption...I'll bet the Lucky Sixes are much less weird than the Namdallas.
