[edit] Notes
- ^ Shin was born in South Korea and moved to California with her family in 2002. Her current citizenship is unknown. The USGA lists her as "of Torrance, California".
- ^ Wuesthoff moved from her native South Korea to New Jersey as a 12 year-old, moving in and eventually being adopted by an American aunt and uncle. When the Child Citizenship Act of 2000 took effect on February 27, 2001, she automatically acquired United States citizenship, as she was legally adopted by at least one American citizen and was under 18 on the effective date of the Act.
