When Lydia Ko was 14 years old, she became the youngest winner of a professional golf tournament at the 2012 Bing Lee/Samsung Women’s New South Wales Open. Maybe some might have dismissed that victory as an historic achievement on a small tour. Later in 2012 Ko, having turned 15, would become the youngest winner of … Continue reading

Even In Defeat, I Salute Team USA’s Effort At Solheim Cup 2013
Although I often report the results of LPGA events, I am not a reporter. I am a blogger. As such, I am free to post about my feelings concerning tournaments more freely and openly. I fully congratulate Team Europe on their impressive and dominant victory at Solheim Cup 2013, but there will be plenty of … Continue reading
Team USA On The Ropes At Solheim 2013 As Team Europe Takes A Commanding 10.5-5.5 Lead After Day 2
It was an Old World beatdown on day 2 at Solheim Cup 2013. After a positive morning foursome showing that saw them earned 2.5 points and close the deficit to 1 point (6.5 to 5.5), Team USA was swept in afternoon fourball 4 to 0 to fall behind Team Europe 10.5 to 5.5. In order … 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
Team USA, Team Europe Ready For Solheim Cup 2013
The waiting is almost over. It’s time for the talk to subside and the ladies to hit the course and see who will emerge triumphant at Solheim Cup 2013. Well, I guess there is still the official opening ceremony and the related festivities. I can feel the excitement building. I suppose I can wait another … Continue reading
Psyched For Solheim 2013!
I am a huge fan of women’s golf. Well, that’s obvious. I have put a lot of time and effort into this blog which highlights women’s tennis and women’s golf primarily, among a few other sports posts. But I have to be honest. I’ve been kind of drifting in and out of golf this year. … Continue reading
Na Yeon Choi Leads 2013 Ricoh Women’s British Open At Midway Point; Inbee Park Trails By 8 Strokes
In all three of Inbee Park’s Major wins this year, she trailed after the first round. So it’s no big deal that she was 3 shots back after Thursday. However, as fate would have it, Inbee was stuck in some windy conditions on Friday and managed only a 1-over 73. Meanwhile, several players were charging … 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
Marion Bartoli, Andy Murray Feted At Wimbledon 2013 Winners Ball
You have to think it was an especially jubilant Winners Ball at Wimbledon 2013. Andy Murray ended the 77 year drought of British Gentlemen’s Singles champions with his straight set defeat of Novak Djokovic. Nole is my favorite male player, but for the first time I was actually rooting against my favorite in a tennis … Continue reading
Inbee Park Seizes Lead As 2nd Round Of 2013 US Women’s Open Suspended, Halfway Home To History
Wow. I mean…just, wow. I knew Inbee Park was good coming into 2013. She went down to the wire, literally, with Stacy Lewis last year fighting for Player of the Year honors. This I never saw coming, though. After a 2nd round 4-under pushed her to 9-under overall, Inbee is halfway home to history. She’s … Continue reading
