About Ji Eun-hee
Born 1986. Ji Eun-hee is a South Korean golfer.
Ji Eun-hee (; 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 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.
In 2012, Ji finished tied for second in the LPGA Championship. She had been leading the tournament going into the final round.
Ji retired following the 2025 season.
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. 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." Over a year later after winning the U.S. Women's Open, she again used a translator for her acceptance speech.
