The world would not have been able to discover Minjee’s talent if it wasn’t for her mother. The 23-year-old was introduced to golf very early on. By age 10, Minjee started spending 8 hours every day in practice. Her mother has always been extremely supportive. She would also help Minjee set little daily goals on sticky notes and get properly guided in her daily activity. Clara has also been present for all of Minjee’s tournaments.
