Abacus has entered into a sponsorship agreement with Hannah Jun, a professional golf player on the LPGA Tour, LPGA Futures Tour, and the Ladies European Tour. As a brand ambassador for Abacus, she will wear the clothing at all tournaments and support the brand worldwide by featuring the Abacus logo on all apparel.
Hannah turned professional in June 2007 after a stellar career at UCLA. She will be splitting her time between the LPGA, Ladies European Tour (“LET”), and the LPGA Futures Tour in 2011. She finished 9th on the Futures Tour money list in 2010, which earned her conditional status on the LPGA. Also in 2010, Jun finished 46th on the European Tour Money List to keep her fully exempt status for 2011.
Born in San Diego, California in 1985, Hannah started playing golf at the age of 12 and quickly became a top junior in the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA). In 2002, she was runner-up at the World Junior Golf Championship, and in 2003, she won the World Junior Golf Championship. She joined the UCLA golf team in 2003 and was named the Pac-10 Newcomer of the Year. She won the 2005 Las Vegas Founders Collegiate Showdown as a junior, and was a co-medalist at the 2006 U.S. Women’s Amateur Public Links Championship.
When Hannah decided to focus her efforts towards the LPGA Tour, she qualified on her very first attempt. Her career low is a 66, which she carded towards a top 25 finish at the LPGA State Farm Classic in 2008.
