Suzann Pettersen did her darndest early in the 3rd round to add some drama to the 2013 Sunrise LPGA Taiwan Championship. But in the end, she finished her day very near to where she started. With a 5 shot overnight lead, the world #2 stumbled out of the blocks with bogeys on 3 of her … Continue reading

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. So much can happen over four rounds that drawing conclusions from round 1 can be foolish. Still, one thing is crystal clear. Lexi Thompson loves Alabama. In fact, even before … Continue reading
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. Coming into the 2013 Kingsmill Championship, Ariya had only played 3 LPGA events. Despite that, she has earned $328, 643 in prizemoney, which … Continue reading
2012 United States Women’s Open Preview With Morgan Pressel, Stacy Lewis,Vicky Hurst, Brittany Lincicome, Yani Tseng, Se Ri Pak, Michelle Wie and More
I must admit that my blog has drifted lately into more forehands than fairways. It’s a bit understandable as the tennis season has heated up with Roland Garros, followed quickly by Wimbledon and in a few weeks the Summer Olympics (and not too long after that the US Open). But I have still been watching, … Continue reading
Ai Miyazato Reclaims Lead After 3rd Round Of 2012 Honda LPGA Thailand, But Yani Tseng Is Only 1 Shot Behind
To begin, let me state an obvious golf equation; a great short game + a hot putter = lots of cash! Ai Miyazato put herself one round away from a first place payday with a 7-under 65 that left the first round leader atop the leaderboard after 3 rounds at 14-under overall. Ai-sama put on … Continue reading
Na Yeon Choi Maintains Lead After 2nd Round Of 2011 CME Group Titleholders
On a day when scoring conditions toughened for the world’s best women golfers, Na Yeon Choi finished as she did after round 1, atop the leaderboard. However, her 1-under 71 2nd round was anything but routine. After finishing round 1 with a bogey on 18, she started round 2 with a double bogey on the … Continue reading
Na Yeon Choi Notches 100th Win By Player Of Korean Descent On LPGA Tour At 2011 Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia
Since Se Ri Pak blazed the trail for Korean success on the LPGA in her 1998 rookie season with 4 wins, including 2 Majors, the face of the world’s premier women’s golf tour has never been the same. Sure, there had been Korean players before Se Ri. Ok-Hee Ku, for example, won the 1988 Standard … Continue reading
Can Third Round Leader Na Yeon Choi Hang On To Win 2011 Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia?
Sometimes perception and reality don’t exactly mesh well. At the end of the 2010 LPGA season, Korean sensation Na Yeon Choi walked away with both the money title and the Vare Trophy for lowest scoring average. She was coming off seasons in 2009 and 2010 where she won 2 tournaments apiece. I, and many others, … Continue reading
Stacy Lewis, Brittany Lang Co-Leaders At 2011 Sime Darby After Round 2
Stacy Lewis was once where Brittany Lang is; the talented young American with amateur accolades who has not cashed in with an LPGA win but whom many think is a lock to eventually do so. Stacy took her place among LPGA winners by outdueling Yani Tseng at the 2011 Kraft Nabisco Championship. Will Brittany breakthrough … Continue reading
