LPGA Players Learning Different Languages

I am happy to see the new commissioner is not draconian in penalizing players for not reaching a pre-determined level of English proficiency in a set time. It seems that it is happening naturally. Which is good. And not only English. Vicky Hurst, who is an American of half-Korean descent is learning Korean. That’s also … Continue reading →

Deja Ryu! In The Biggest Women’s Golf Tournament In The World, The U.S. Women’s Open, So Yeon Ryu Beats Hee Kyung Seo Again In A Three Hole Playoff

There might be some, even some dedicated golf fans, who didn’t know who So Yeon Ryu was before her 3 hole playoff with Hee Kyung Seo at the 2011 United States Women’s Open at The Broadmoor. Seo, however, knows full well just who Ryu is. They are friends, and rivals, from the Korean LPGA. In … Continue reading →

2011 U.S. Women’s Open 2nd Round Play Suspended With In-Kyung Kim Leading

Mother Nature was (somewhat) kinder on day two of the 2011 U.S. Women’s Open at Broadmoor as the players were able to complete the first round and many were able to play significant parts of the second round. However, there’s still a lot of the second round to complete on Saturday with play suspended on … Continue reading →

US Women’s Open 2011 Day One Incomplete Due To Weather

It’s always a bummer when any LPGA event has a weather delay or  suspension of play until the next day. That’s especially the case in this season of stops and starts on the calender. I won’t comment on the first round since there is a lot of golf to yet be completed. A lot can … Continue reading →

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. It’s a wonder to me, considering the two Majors last year, plus … Continue reading →

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 →

2011 LPGA Shoprite Classic Highlights
