This is why I never gave up on Team USA. Even after they were in holes after days 1 and 2 of Solheim Cup 2015, I felt if they could keep it close, maybe 2 points behind…at the most 3…they would have the advantage in singles. Sure, Europe handed the Americans their hats in singles … Continue reading
A lot of things might be going wrong for Team USA at Solheim Cup 2015. They trailed 3 points to 5 after day 1 matches were complete. They had a less than stellar 1-3 showing in morning matches on day 2. They trail 5 points to 8 as darkness suspended play on day 2. However, … Continue reading
When play is suspended due to darkness with Team USA trailing Team Europe 2 points to 4 points…not to mention after Europe’s Carlota Ciganda hit the shot of the day with an eagle from 135 yards out to even the match between her and partner Melissa Reid against Team USA’s Lexi Thompson and Cristie Kerr…it … Continue reading
Before I move on to posting about Team USA at the 2015 Solheim Cup, let me first say how much I respect Team Europe and give them all the credit for winning in 2011 in Ireland and 2013 in Colorado, USA.

Like 2013, this year I will do a countdown of the top money list leaders from both the WTA and LPGA. Last year I did the top 30, but this year I will do the top 25. Note that as of this post, the retired Li Na has been removed from the WTA website money … Continue reading
Stacy Lewis must enjoy storybook endings. She’s written two already this season. Born in Ohio, Stacy grew up in Texas and wears her Texan Pride unabashedly. Just check out that LPGA commercial where she refers to Texas as a country. She also went to school at the University of Arkansas where she was the shining … Continue reading
In a tournament that features a record 11-year old qualifier, Lucy Li, it is a former child prodigy who holds the lead at the midway point of the 2014 United States Women’s Open. Michelle Wie, who qualified for the US Amateur Women’s Public Links at a then record 10-years old, won it at a record … Continue reading
With apologies to Thomas Wolfe, apparently you can go home again. In a storybook scenario, Michelle Wie returned to the comforts of her native Hawaii to win the 2014 LPGA Lotte Championship presented by J Golf. It wasn’t just a crowd rooting for the hometown hero. Watching how naturally and affectionately Michelle interacted with patrons … Continue reading
Instead of a year in review focusing on overall achievements, I thought this time I’d do a countdown of the top 30 money list leaders from the WTA and LPGA. For the WTA, singles, doubles and mixed are combined for this top 30. Number 12 on the money list from each tour are Caroline Wozniacki … Continue reading
There were a lot of stars for Team Europe in their 18-10 thrashing of Team USA at the 2013 Solheim Cup. Among all of their great play, one star shined the brightest, Caroline Hedwall. The rising Swedish star might not yet have a win on the LPGA tour, but riding her perfect 5-0-0 record from … Continue reading
