Huh left college due to the lack of core courses, preventing him from receiving a scholarship and being approved for NCAA competition.

With his college career ending before it began, Huh turned professional and played on the Korean Tour for three years.

In only his fifth PGA Tour event, Huh picked up his first victory at the Mayakoba Golf Classic, defeating Robert Allenby in an eight-hole sudden death playoff.

[5] Allenby held a two stroke lead with one hole to play but double bogeyed after putting his tee shot in the trees, and a Huh par forced a playoff.

He was in contention at the Valero Texas Open, but fell two shots short of champion Ben Curtis and finished in a tie for second.

Huh played in his first major at the 2012 Open Championship, earning entry through FedEx Cup standings, where he missed the cut.

Huh won the PGA Tour Rookie of the Year for his 2012 season, the first person of Korean descent to win the honor.

Huh's season best was a T-6 at the Waste Management Phoenix Open, en route to finishing 95th in the FedEx Cup.
