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 »
Inbee Park Wins 2013 Kraft Nabisco Championship
“I’ve seen Inbee do this before. I played with her at Evian last year when she had 22 or 23 putts in the final round. When she rolls it, you can’t beat her. She’s the best putter on tour.” – Stacy Lewis I can’t say it any better than world #1 Stacy Lewis. Inbee was … Continue reading »

Inbee Park stands on the precipice of superstardom in the world of women’s golf. That’s right, I said it. She’s already a great player and acknowledged as such by those in the know.

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.

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 »
LPGA Portraits 2013: Amanda Blumenherst, Esther Choe, Irene Cho, Jeong Jang and Yani Tseng
It’s portrait time again for the LPGA. Prior to the 2013 RR Donnelley Founders Cup, some of the ladies took time out for pictures.

Danielle Kang Interview At 2013 Kia Classic Media Day
I expect big things from Danielle Kang. Let’s face it, a lot of fans who follow women’s golf closely do. After all, she is a two-time US Women’s Amateur chmapion, the first to win it in back to back years (2010, 2011) since Kelli Kuehne (1995, 1996). The fact that she torched Moriya Jutanugarn, one … Continue reading »
