A lot of things might be going wrong for Team USA at Solheim Cup 2015. They trailed 3 points to 5 after day 1 matches were complete. They had a less than stellar 1-3 showing in morning matches on day 2. They trail 5 points to 8 as darkness suspended play on day 2. However, … Continue reading

Fairways and Forehands 2014 Top 25 WTA and LPGA Year In Review: #11 Ekaterina Makarova and Suzann Pettersen
Like 2013, this year I will do a countdown of the top money list leaders from both the WTA and LPGA. Last year I did the top 30, but this year I will do the top 25. Note that as of this post, the retired Li Na has been removed from the WTA website money … Continue reading
Inbee Park Wins 2014 Manulife Financial LPGA Classic
Great champions rise to the challenge. 2013 was a record year for Inbee Park, a year that saw her win the first 3 Majors of the season, matching Babe Zaharias’ 1950 feat, capture 6 overall titles and claim the world #1 ranking. But after her triumph at the 2013 US Women’s Open she didn’t win … Continue reading
Stacy Lewis, Meena Lee Tied For Lead After 3rd Round Of 2014 North Texas LPGA Shootout
Sunday’s final round of the 2014 North Texas LPGA Shootout is the kind of set-up that I like. There are compelling and competing storylines that will pull my rooting interest in a myriad of directions. The most talked about is whether Stacy Lewis with continue to play bridesmaid in yet another event or will she … Continue reading
Suzann Pettersen Extends Lead After 2nd Round Of 2013 Sunrise LPGA Taiwan Championship
Ok, everybody. It’s been fun. Thanks for playing. Drive home safely. Oh alright, maybe the 2013 Sunrise LPGA Taiwan Championship isn’t really over yet, but it’s starting to feel like a wrap; like one of those events that (fill in the blank dominant player) grabs hold of and refuses to relinquish. This time that dominant … Continue reading
Inbee Park, Cristie Kerr Tied For Lead After Second Round Of 2013 CN Canadian Open; Lydia Ko Still Lurking

Inbee started her day with a sensational hole out from a bunker … Continue reading
Charley Hull Rides Solheim Cup Success (and exemption into LPGA Q-school this fall) Into 2013 CN Canadian Women’s Open
The last time we saw Charley Hull, she soundly defeated LPGA Major winner Paula Creamer 5 & 4 at the 2013 Solheim Cup. To be fair, the Pink Panther didn’t really play so badly. Charley Hull was just on that day. The precocious 17-year old was the youngest player in Solheim history. Boy, did she … Continue reading
Team Europe Jumps To Early 5-3 Lead After Day One Of Solheim Cup 2013
On a day marred by a controversial (and incorrect) ruling, Team Europe took a 5-3 lead after the first day of Solheim Cup 2013. The Euros have never won the Cup on American soil but came out strong in the morning foursomes, jumping out to a quick 3-1 lead. America’s lone point in the morning … Continue reading
Inbee Park Set To Go For Golf’s Elusive Grand Slam
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
Suzann Pettersen Wins Back To Back LPGA Events With 2012 Sunrise LPGA Taiwan Championship Title
Well, so much for that title slump Suzann Pettersen was in. Apparently, the LPGA Tour’s Asian swing was the medicine she needed as she followed her playoff victory over Catriona Matthew at Hana Bank 2012 in Korea with a 3-shot 19-under victory over Inbee Park at the 2012 Sunrise LPGA Taiwan Championship. With four rounds … Continue reading
