Lexi Thompson, Eun-Hee Ji Lead Mobile Bay LPGA Classic After Round 1
I don’t want to say too much too early in this tournament. In fact, I often refrain from posting about the LPGA until the weekend. So much can happen over four rounds that drawing conclusions from round 1 can be foolish. Still, one thing is crystal clear. Lexi Thompson loves Alabama. In fact, even before … Continue reading

2012 United States Women’s Open Preview With Morgan Pressel, Stacy Lewis,Vicky Hurst, Brittany Lincicome, Yani Tseng, Se Ri Pak, Michelle Wie and More
I must admit that my blog has drifted lately into more forehands than fairways. It’s a bit understandable as the tennis season has heated up with Roland Garros, followed quickly by Wimbledon and in a few weeks the Summer Olympics (and not too long after that the US Open).

Victoria Azarenka, Petra Kvitova Advance In First Round Of Wimbledon 2012
For this post, I’m going to take a trip down memory lane. It will be easy, because it wasn’t that long ago. With all the pundits and prognosticators picking Maria Sharapova or Serena Williams to win Wimbledon 2012, it seems Victoria Azarenka has been lost amongst the handful of players seen capable of winning the … Continue reading
Maria Sharapova, Kim Clijsters Roll In First Round Of Wimbledon 2012; Elena Vesnina Ousts 5-Time Champion Venus Williams
Four of my favorite players started their Wimbledon 2012 campaigns on the first day of play; Kim Clijsters, Jelena Jankovic, Maria Sharapova and Venus Williams. Two survived. Two did not.

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
