Inbee Park (click to enlarge)
Wow. I mean…just, wow. I knew Inbee Park was good coming into 2013. She went down to the wire, literally, with Stacy Lewis last year fighting for Player of the Year honors. This I never saw coming, though. After a 2nd round 4-under pushed her to 9-under overall, Inbee is halfway home to history. She’s won the 2 LPGA Majors played so far in this year. She’s now 36 holes away from making it 3 for 3 by winning the US Women’s Open. I always say there is a lot of golf to be played when assessing a player’s chances this early, but Inbee is now in Annika/Lorena Zone, that place where her name atop a leaderboard can make it seem like everybody else is playing for 2nd place. Don’t tell In Kyung Kim that. She’s only 2 shots back at 7-under. I have no doubt that Inky will keep fighting to win the Major that eluded her at the 2012 Kraft Nabisco Championship. The rest of the contenders need to have great rounds on Saturday or hope Inbee comes back to the field since the closest challengers other than Inky, Lizette Salas and Jodi Ewart Shadoff, are at 4-under. They, and the others, have to keep Inbee and Inky from running away on moving day or it’ll be a de facto match play for the trophy on Sunday. Fog suspended play in round 2, although most players have completed their rounds. The question is whether there is a fog descending on the chances of players to catch Inbee Park.
