If world #1 Inbee Park felt the pressure of golf history weighing down upon her, she didn’t show it outwardly.

Don’t be surprised to see Ha-Neul Kim’s name atop the leaderboard after round 1 of the 2013 US Women’s Open. She might not be as well known to casual American fans, but to diehard women’s golf fans, particularly those who are familiar with the KLPGA, Kim is well known as a 7-time Korean tour winner. … Continue reading

Babe Zaharias, Patty Berg, Mickey Wright, Sandra Haynie, Pat Bradley and Annika Sorenstam.

Chella Choi Leads 2013 Wegmans LPGA Championship; Morgan Pressel, Brittany Lincicome Bounce Back
Chella Choi flirted with winning her first LPGA tournament when she led the 2013 Mobile Bay LPGA Classic after 3 rounds. She looked sensational in posting a 17-under through her first 54 holes.

Shanshan Feng Leads 2013 ShopRite LPGA Classic After Round 2; Chie Arimura Makes A Move
I believe in Chie Arimura. Coming into the 2013 season, I felt it would be between her and Moriya Jutanugarn for Rookie of the Year. Moriya has jumped to a big early lead, but Chie has not found the form that made her a Major winner on the JLPGA. Maybe things are starting to turn. … Continue reading
Moriya Jutanugarn, Amanda Blumenherst Lead 2013 ShopRite LPGA Classic After Round 1
As I mentioned in my Roland Garros post before this one, I took some time off to deal with medical issues. Well…and one other thing. I have to admit that poultry comment from Sergio Garcia reawakened memories of Fuzzy Zoeller…and had me considering switching Fairways and Forehands…to just Forehands. Basically, just follow tennis and drop … Continue reading
Beatriz Recari Leads 2013 Kia Classic After 2nd Round
Spain’s Beatriz Recari leads the 2013 Kia Classic at 8-under at the midway point. The runner-up for 2010 Rookie of the Year (to winner and countrywoman Azahara Munoz) looks for her 2nd LPGA victory, following the 2010 CVS/pharmacy LPGA Challenge. But things are far from decided as a quick glance over her shoulder will show … Continue reading
Jee Young Lee Leads 2013 RR Donnelley LPGA Founders Cup After 2nd Round
A few years ago…well, maybe slightly more than a few…I thought Jee Young Lee would be the next big thing. She burst onto the scene by winning the 2005 CJ Nine Bridges Classic as a non-LPGA member in her native South Korea. With the win, she won automatic membership on the American tour. Jee Young … Continue reading

Saturday was moving day at the 2013 ISPS Handa Women’s Australian Open. Teen phenom Lydia Ko and Jiyai Shin moved away from the rest of the field as both sit atop the leaderboard at 17-under, six shots ahead of 3rd place Beatriz Recari and 8 shots ahead of a quartet of players tied for 4th, … Continue reading
