The toughest part of being a fan of so many players on the LPGA tour is that for me there are inevitably days like this where I am overjoyed and crushed at the same time. I’ll start with the positive. Inbee Park successfully defended her title by winning the 2014 Wegmans LPGA Championship in a … Continue reading

Then American Paula Creamer won, followed once again by Karrie Webb and Anna Nordqvist wins. … Continue reading

Each year during the Founders Cup week the LPGA takes some really nice high quality portraits of players. There are so many that I am breaking them into groups. I can’t feature everybody or every picture, but each post will have some of my favorites. In this post, I include Pornanong Phatlum, Rebecca Lee-Bentham, Gerina … Continue reading
Na Yeon Choi Leads 2014 Pure Silk-Bahamas LPGA Classic After Round Three
This is why I generally wait until the weekend to post LPGA tournament entries. So much can happen. Three rounds. Four different leaders. Meena Lee and Lydia Ko on day one. Jessica Korda on day two. Na Yeon Choi on day three. NYC, the 2010 LPGA Money List and Vare Trophy winner, had won at … Continue reading
Lydia Ko, Meena Lee Lead 2014 Pure Silk-Bahamas LPGA Classic After Round One
Lydia Ko started her rookie season with a strong 5-under 68 (par is 73 at this tournament) to tie for the lead with Meena Lee at the 2014 Pure Silk-Bahamas LPGA Classic. I don’t usually do early round posts, but this is the first round of the LPGA season, so I thought I’d do a … Continue reading

Shanshan Feng Wins 2013 CME Group Titleholders; Stacy Lewis Wins 2013 Vare Trophy, Moriya Jutanugarn Wins 2013 LPGA Rookie Of The Year
At the end of the 2013 CME Group Titleholders third round, the trio of Natalie Gulbis, Gerina Piller and Pornanong Phatlum led by 2 shots. That was a tenuous lead to be sure, with experienced champions right on their heels. One of those champions, Shanshan Feng, avoided any big mistakes while ill-timed bogeys conspired to … Continue reading
Natalie Gulbis, Pornanong Phatlum and Gerina Piller Share Lead After Third Round Of 2013 CME Group Titleholders
With one round left to play in the LPGA season, a trio of leaders bring divergent storylines to a possible 2013 CME Group Titleholders victory. Natalie Gulbis remains a fan favorite.

So Yeon Ryu, Anna Nordqvist and Pornanong Phatlum Lead After Second Round Of 2013 Lorena Ochoa Invitational
This is why I don’t like to predict a winner after the first round. Sure, Pornanong Phatlum is still perched atop the leaderboard after two rounds at 9-under and could still very well lead from wire to wire, taking home the trophy. However, at the midway point of the 2013 Lorena Ochoa Invitational, Waen has … Continue reading
