Shanshan Feng Leads 2013 ShopRite LPGA Classic After Round 2; Chie Arimura Makes A Move

Moriya Jutanugarn, Amanda Blumenherst Lead 2013 ShopRite LPGA Classic After Round 1
As I mentioned in my Roland Garros post before this one, I took some time off to deal with medical issues. Well…and one other thing. I have to admit that poultry comment from Sergio Garcia reawakened memories of Fuzzy Zoeller…and had me considering switching Fairways and Forehands…to just Forehands.

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.
