Bo-Mee Lee (click to enlarge)
Well, Hurricane Sandy knocked my power out for several days. With a little juice today, let me squeeze in a quick comment on the 2012 Mizuno Classic. I am not surprised at all that Bo-Mee Lee, the leader by 4 shots after the 2nd round, is playing well. She is a former KLPGA Player of the Year, and we know that many of them have gone on to make a name for themselves (Se Ri Pak, Jiyai Shin, Hee Kyung Seo). Save for a double bogey on 11 in round 1, Bo-Mee has played beautifully. What is disappointing is watching Chie Arimura, one of the JLPGA’s best players, struggle mightily at Mizuno 2012. I had hoped she would be in contention to win and maybe earn an LPGA exemption that way. Looks like it’s off to Q-school if she wants to join the LPGA in 2013.
