Hyo Joo Kim is just one member of a very talented rookie class on the LPGA Tour this season. She’s the second rookie to win this season, joining fellow South Korean rookie Sei Young Kim who captured a victory at the Pure Silk Bahamas Classic.
The top five rookies in the Louise Suggs Rolex Rookie of the Year race entering this week have now combined to deliver two victories, eight additional top 10s and a total of 16-top 25 finishes through the first six events of the 2015 season.
“I’m a rookie, too, so I don’t have time to think too much about it,” Kim said of the impressive rookie class. “But I have known these players from since we used to play on the Korean ladies tour, and I know how good they can be. In fact, everyone on the LPGA Tour is really good, otherwise they wouldn’t be here. So I’m just trying to find my place.”
