Amy Yang Leads 2012 Kraft Nabisco Championship After First Round; Guess Who’s Lurking

Amy Yang

When Lexi Thompson won the 2011 Omega Dubai Ladies Masters, she became the youngest professional to win on the Ladies European Tour. The key word is professional. There is a younger winner on the LET, who was still an amateur at the time she took down the pros, and her name is Amy Yang. Since turning professional and joining the LPGA tour, Amy has been one of those players that you can see is so talented but just hasn’t broken through yet for an LPGA victory. Grabbing the first round lead at 6-under at the Kraft Nabisco Championship is a nice first step toward possibly becoming a Rolex first time winner. However, obviously this is just the first round…and the first round of a Major at that! Oh yeah…and there happens to be this player two shots behind her named Yani Tseng who just happens to be laying a path to the Hall of Fame.
