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
The Year of Inbee continued in the second round of the 2013 CN Canadian Open. The winner of the first 3 Majors this year rode a 5-under 65 to sit tied with Cristie Kerr at 8-under overall at the midway point in Edmonton. Inbee started her day with a sensational hole out from a bunker … Continue reading
I must admit that I never…ever…thought I would write a blog entry about an LPGA player going for a Grand Slam. Somebody has to win the first Major of the year, the Kraft Nabisco Championship. But from there, the odds stack increasingly against said winner duplicating victory at the following Majors. Before this year, Annika … Continue reading
Chella Choi flirted with winning her first LPGA tournament when she led the 2013 Mobile Bay LPGA Classic after 3 rounds. She looked sensational in posting a 17-under through her first 54 holes. She would play well in the final round, with a 2-under 70 to push to 19-under overall. Ultimately, it was not enough … Continue reading
I am going to say something that some golf fans might think absurd. I was more impressed by Ariya Jutanugarn’s 2nd round at the 2013 Kingsmill Championship than the first round. I know, I know. How can that be?! She went 7 under in the 1st round and only even par the 2nd. I am … Continue reading
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. Coming into the 2013 Kingsmill Championship, Ariya had only played 3 LPGA events. Despite that, she has earned $328, 643 in prizemoney, which … Continue reading
Women’s golf legend Laura Davies, an 82 time winner worldwide, sat down with Sport on 7 at the recent 2012 Dubai Ladies Masters. I agree with her point about Lydia Ko’s record. It’s hard to imagine anybody breaking the record of winning an LPGA event at 15 years old. I’ve been a big women’s golf … Continue reading
With all the stops and starts due to inclement weather, it threw off my schedule and I didn’t do a post on the final round of the 2012 RR Donnelley LPGA Founders Cup. So I will put pictures from the fourth round at the end of the rankings here as well as some videos throughout. … Continue reading
Welcome back to the United States, LPGA Tour! After an exciting and dramatic early season Asian swing, the best women golfers in the world returned stateside for the 2012 RR Donnelley LPGA Founders Cup. Picking up where she left off in 2011, Yani Tseng sent a message to the rest of the field with a … Continue reading
The last time longtime rivals (and friends) So Yeon Ryu and Hee Kyung Seo found themselves atop an LPGA leaderboard they were fighting for the 2011 US Women’s Open. So Yeon would win on that day, earning for herself an automatic LPGA membership (if she wanted it) and an opportunity to play as a rookie … Continue reading
