Early life and junior career

Yun started playing golf at the age of 7 years old with his father. By age 11, he beat his father by one stroke, shooting a 76 at Oakbrook Country Club in Lakewood, Washington, which sparked his love for the game of golf. Yun's family lived near Chambers Bay in University Place, Washington and he was neighbors with future PGA Tour players Michael Putnam and Andrew Putnam. In 2005, Yun won the Pacific Northwest Junior Boys Championship.

The family moved to Arizona so that Yun could play golf year round.
