Last week the LPGA Tour kicked off its domestic season at the RR Donnelley LPGA Founders Cup. After battling the rain, wind, hail, and lightning during the final round, Ryu held on to a fourth place finish to boost her higher in the rookie race. Ryu isn't a stranger to success as she won the 2011 U.S. Women's Open in a playoff against fellow Korean Hee Kyung Seo.
