Billiard Player Profile

Yu Ram Cha

View Web Site

Yu Ram Cha has quickly risen to the forefront of the pool world's more notable players. Nicknamed "The Little Lightning" for her petite stature but powerful break, stroke and explosive game, her titles include 2006 Korea Pro Tour Champion, 2007 Super Billiards Expo Woman's Amateur Champion, 2007 World Junior 10-Ball Champion, and multiple regional pro/am event wins in US women's tours. In 2008 Cha went to the USA to try to win qualifiers for the WPBA Women's Pro Tour and quickly made a statement coming out of nowhere to finish 3rd at the WPBA US Open including a first-time ESPN TV match win over Karen Corr. That year she took down a multitude of top names such as Monica Webb, Jasmin Ouschan, Xiao Ting Pan, Kelly Fisher, Helena Thornfeldt, Jennifer Chen and many more. She started the year unranked and finished #18 and earned WPBA Most Improved Player as well as 2008 Billiard's Digest Breakthrough Player.

Besides her tremendous skills, Cha is also a celebrity in her homeland of Korea and considered to be one of the top women in sports. Cha has landed lucrative endorsement deals and has been in several commercials and modeling spreads. The top three network channels in Korea have all done separate documentaries and stories on her life and career thus far.
