For two years running, the New Zealand native was the top ranked amateur women's player in the world. She captured the 2012 US Amateur, and 4 professional titles including two on the LPGA Tour -- all while playing as an amateur. At the tender age of 16, Ko made the decision to turn professional on Oct. 23, 2013 and played her first major event in late November of the same year at the CME Titleholders, finishing T21 and winning over $16,000.
