Jessica Korda shot a clean 7 birdie 7-under 2nd round at the 2013 Mobile Bay LPGA Classic to hold the 36 hole lead at 13-under overall.

Lexi Thompson, Eun-Hee Ji Lead Mobile Bay LPGA Classic After Round 1
I don’t want to say too much too early in this tournament. In fact, I often refrain from posting about the LPGA until the weekend.

Ariya Jutanugarn Maintains Lead After 2nd Round Of 2013 Kingsmill Championship
I am going to say something that some golf fans might think absurd. I was more impressed by Ariya Jutanugarn’s 2nd round at the 2013 Kingsmill Championship than the first round. I know, I know. How can that be?! She went 7 under in the 1st round and only even par the 2nd. I am … Continue reading »
Ariya Jutanugarn Leads 2013 Kingsmill Championship After First Round
Ariya Jutanugarn isn’t a member of the LPGA in 2013, largely due to being denied an age-exemption to Q-school. Make no mistake though, this 17-year old young lady belongs on this tour.
