Not like this. Of the top 5 finishers at the 2017 ANA Inspiration (So-Yeon Ryu, Lexi Thompson, Minjee Lee, Inbee Park and Suzann Pettersen), I am firmly Team So-Yeon Ryu. I like all of those players, but I have a special affinity for Ryu, whom I have been waiting eagerly to celebrate in victory again during … Continue reading

Chip-Ins: Congratulations To Inbee Park, Lydia Ko and Shanshan Feng On 2016 Rio Olympics Medals
I have to admit that I have yet to watch rounds 3 and 4 of the women’s golf competition at the 2016 Rio Olympics. I was at work following scores on day 3 when I found out that Ariya Jutanugarn, who was having a disastrous round, pulled out with a knee injury. That completely gutted … Continue reading
Ariya Jutanugarn Leads After R1 Of 2016 Rio Olympics Women’s Golf
After winning the 2016 Ricoh Women’s British Open two weeks ago, it seems like 4-time LPGA winner Ariya Jutanugarn hasn’t missed a beat.

Women’s Golf At 2016 Rio Olympics: What I Am Expecting
Sports is the theater of the unexpected at times. Who would have predicted that Monica Puig would take the women’s singles tennis Gold Medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics? Add in that I am awful at golf prognostication, I will share what I expect to see from the best women’s golfers in the world when … Continue reading
Biggest Stars Of Women’s Golf Ready For 2016 Rio Olympics
As a lifelong tennis fan, I’ve seen the sport I love the most go from having players mostly indifferent to the Olympics to greatly cherishing the Summer Games.

Fairways and Forehands 2015 WTA, JLPGA and LPGA Top 15 Year In Review: #2 Simona Halep, Teresa Lu and Inbee Park
Simona Halep (click to enlarge) For the past two years I have counted down the top 30 (2013) and top 25 (2014) players on the WTA and LPGA money lists as my year-end wrap-up. This year I am reducing the list to the top 15. However, I am adding the LPGA of Japan (JLPGA) to … Continue reading
Inbee Park Completes Career Grand Slam With Win at 2015 Women’s British Open
I don’t care what the LPGA says. I love the tour and commissioner Michael Whan is doing a great job, but there was never a need to have a fifth Major. Rather than add prestige to the tour, it has simply added more need for explanations for who don’t follow the LPGA closely. So with … Continue reading
