    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. However, when she joined the LPGA tour in 2008, the tour listed her as South Korean, indicating that she retained her original citizenship.
