\"\"GLENELG\u2019S Jenny Lee has been honing her golf skills since primary school, hoping to become a professional player.<\/p>\n

As a Year 5 student, Jenny would skip afternoon classes with her teacher\u2019s permission and practise at a driving range near her home in Seoul, South Korea.<\/p>\n

She would leave school about three hours early and hit balls for up to nine hours.<\/p>\n

That drove a fierce desire to improve, which continues today through four-hour practice sessions every night after school.<\/p>\n

Jenny\u2019s hard work is starting to pay off. The 16-year-old has won her past two tournaments – this month\u2019s SA Junior Masters and SA Junior Amateur Championship – both for the second time.<\/p>\n

Her victory at the Junior Masters was by 16 strokes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was in Korea I was meant to finish school around 3pm but I went to the range just after lunch,\u201d Jenny said. \u201cI was kind of skipping (classes) but the school teacher was all right with it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was hitting well on the range and I improved.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jenny took up the sport after encouragement from one of her school teachers in South Korea.<\/p>\n

She started taking lessons a short time later.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy teacher liked golf and he thought I could be good,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I first tried golf it was fun to hit the ball and be out on the course.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jenny moved to Australia in 2006, initially settling in Sydney. There she took her game to a new level, winning the Srixon International Sub-Junior Classic in 2009 and the Harvey Norman Sub-Junior tournament the following year.<\/p>\n

Her family moved to Adelaide in April 2010.<\/p>\n

She joined Glenelg Golf Club, where she plays off scratch.<\/p>\n

Last year she won the SA Junior Masters and SA Junior Amateur Championship for the first time.<\/p>\n

The Year 11 Brighton Secondary School student aims to play more senior tournaments this year.<\/p>\n

She eventually hopes to land a golf scholarship at a US college.<\/p>\n
