So Yeon Ryu is one of the best players in the world that so many American fans don't know.
The 2011 U.S. Women's Open from The Broadmoor is, at 25 years old, just hitting her golf peak and ended 2015 ranked fifth in the Rolex Rankings.
You might remember Ryu as one of the players who got stuck in Mali thanks to a volcanic eruption, forcing her to have some fun and sun for a few extra days.
