Ai Miyazato Reclaims Lead After 3rd Round Of 2012 Honda LPGA Thailand, But Yani Tseng Is Only 1 Shot Behind

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 →

Can Third Round Leader Na Yeon Choi Hang On To Win 2011 Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia?

Sometimes perception and reality don’t exactly mesh well. At the end of the 2010 LPGA season, Korean sensation Na Yeon Choi walked away with both the money title and the Vare Trophy for lowest scoring average. She was coming off seasons in 2009 and 2010 where she won 2 tournaments apiece. I, and many others, … Continue reading →

2011 LPGA State Farm Classic Final Round Thoughts; Yani Tseng Reasserts Dominance

I must admit that I am delighted to see Yani Tseng win the 2011 LPGA State Farm Classic. Upon hearing that Suzann Pettersen had a chance to overtake Yani for world #1 had she won and Yani finished outside of the top 3, something to me did not seem right.

2011 State Farm Classic 3rd Round Thoughts

After Suzann Pettersen and Cristie Kerr flexed their muscles in recent events, and Jiyai Shin started to get her putter going a wee bit more, Yani Tseng birdied all four of the par 5s on Saturday to remind everybody who is still #1.

2011 LPGA State Farm Classic 2nd Round Thoughts

Low scores continue to dominate at the 2011 LPGA State Farm Classic. Wide fairways and receptive greens allow for lots of red numbers. #15 is playing the hardest at Panther Creek, but leader Mindy Kim’s 2nd shot on the hole was brilliant, setting up an easy birdie. Michelle Wie’s 2nd on 15 was even better, … Continue reading →

2011 LPGA State Farm Classic: First Round Thoughts

I love watching LPGA coverage, but I held my breath after Se Ri Pak dropped in a birdie on #13 in the first round of the 2011 LPGA State Farm Classic. As she bent down to collect her golf ball from the hole, she leaned very gingerly on her club. Not the first time I’ve … Continue reading →

Fashion Queen vs. Final Round Queen; Sandra Gal and Jiyai Shin Separate Themselves From The Field At 2011 KIA Classic

Golf is not like tennis, where your competition actively plays against you, hitting back shots you try to get past them. However, when two golfers separate themselves from the field going into a tournament’s final round, as Jiyai Shin and Sandra Gal have at the 2011 KIA Classic, there is an air of wild west … Continue reading →
