Sometimes a player has to go through the crucible to get their first win. When they do finally emerge victorious, the emotions pour out.

Oh my goodness! The ladies of the LPGA are torching the course at the 2013 Mobile Bay LPGA Classic. In the 2nd round, Sydnee Michaels christened a new course record of 62.

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.

Hiromi Mogi Wins 2013 World Ladies Championship Salonpas Cup
Lately it seems the world of women’s golf has been taken over by Generation Next. From Lydia Ko to Lexi Thompson to Ariya Jutanugarn to Hyo-Joo Kim, the word phenom is getting so ubiquitously applied to young player after young player that it’s starting to lose its distinction. Even players who have multiple years and … 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 »
