Jenny Suh shot a 5-under-par 68 and Birdie Kim won a 3-for-1 playoff in a Monday qualifier at the Ocean Club Golf Course, to earn the final two spots in the 108-player field for the Pure Silk-Bahamas LPGA Classic that runs Thursday to Sunday.
American Suh, the number 518 player in the world according to the Rolex Rankings, has one win on the LPGA Futures Tour, in 2009, while South Korean Kim, the number 769 player in the world according to the Rolex Rankings, won the 2005 U.S. Women's Open and appeared to be on her way to stardom before a car accident in 2009.
Suh was the low scorer among the 16 players in the qualifier, and Kim finished with a 3-under-par 70 and then made birdie on each of the two extra holes to earn the final spot in the field.
The Pure Silk-Bahamas LPGA Classic features a strong field that includes World Golf Hall-of-Fame members Juli Inkster and Se Ri Pak and five players ranked in the top 10 of the Rolex World Rankings.
The Golf Channel will showcase the classic, with 10 hours of live coverage from 11:30 -2:30 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, and from 3-5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
