KLPGA Tour member Baek made her very first appearance in an LPGA Tour event last week at the KEB-HanaBank Championship and she made it a memorable one. Baek birdied the par 5 18th on the first sudden-death playoff hole to defeat fellow KLPGA Tour member In Gee Chun and five-time LPGA Tour winner Brittany Lincicome. The 19-year old shot a final-round 5-under 67 to get into the playoff.
