GOLD AND BLACK ILLUSTRATED VOLUME 27, ISSUE 3 80 the LPGA card? Brouse thinks she might have — the pull is great, considering the difficulty in earning an opportunity on the top tour — but Kim says no. "I was pretty much set on finishing school," she said. "To be this close and to quit on something, it's not like winning the card means that all my dreams are accomplished. It'd be opening another challenge. It's not always something that comes easy with young age, getting into the tour is one thing, but succeeding on the tour is another. I'm positive that I would have finished school. I wouldn't have left my team and my coaches after all we've done and all they've done for me." Sounds good. Now, Kim can help lead the Boiler- makers, ranked 12th at GolfStat.com and 15th in Golf- Week, into the spring, when they'll hope for a Big Ten team title and deep NCAA Tournament run. It's what Brouse had hoped years ago when he start- ed recruiting Kim. "You see a lot of good players out there, good scor- ers, but trying to gauge the intangibles (is hard)," he said. "And the main intangible is 'What's their ambi- tion like? What is their determination to fight through after the setbacks and defeats?' And she had definitely had her share of them in a two-year period, so good for her for coming out the other side stronger and con- tinuing to go forward. "Two years of commitment and fighting through the competition has made her stronger and I know she's fundamentally better. And I don't think she's seen her best golf yet. She needs to keep going." j Next show Jan. 13 Special guests, analysis and more 2 P.M.
