It’s portrait time again for the LPGA. Prior to the 2013 RR Donnelley Founders Cup, some of the ladies took time out for pictures. Due to the sheer volume of photos, I have to split these posts into groups. This group has Chella Choi, Mo Martin, Hee Won Han and Maria Hjorth. Interestingly, this group has two … 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
To begin, let me state an obvious golf equation; a great short game + a hot putter = lots of cash! Ai Miyazato put herself one round away from a first place payday with a 7-under 65 that left the first round leader atop the leaderboard after 3 rounds at 14-under overall. Ai-sama put on … Continue reading
On a day when scoring conditions toughened for the world’s best women golfers, Na Yeon Choi finished as she did after round 1, atop the leaderboard. However, her 1-under 71 2nd round was anything but routine. After finishing round 1 with a bogey on 18, she started round 2 with a double bogey on the … Continue reading

It seems fitting that after two days of nerve racking team play, Team Europe and Team USA will decide the 2011 Solheim Cup during day three singles. Europe had a chance to put some distance between themselves and the Americans after taking the Saturday morning foursomes 2.5-1.5 to extend to a 7-5 lead into the … Continue reading
On paper, Team USA looked like the team to beat going into Solheim Cup 2011, and it might just turn out that way in the end, but on day one Team Europe threw down the gauntlet and showed they are in it to win it, leading the point total 4.5 to 3.5. I am going … Continue reading
All the talk will finally be put to rest. We will see if the top players on the US team can carry the day. Will the Europeans prove to be deeper from 6 to 12? How will the rookies do? Which captain’s picks will shine? Which will not? Solheim Cup 2011 from Killeen Castle in … Continue reading
