Known as "JJ", Jeong Jang explains on her website that Jeong rhymes with "lung" and Jang with "sang." Her triumph at the 2005 British Women's Open (a major championship) allowed her to record her maiden win on both the LPGA and Ladies European Tours. In 2006 she also won the Japan Women's Open (in Japan a major championship), meaning that two of her first three wins came in majors.
