2014 CME

[Mr22putt]

I hope The Librarian wins and therefore pockets $1.5M.....that would please The Dragon Lady.

 

I also want to see Bumble Bee beat SNaP for POY & Vare trophy.

 

I hope Baek plays well....it's a shame Hyo Joo Kim is not playing....she's staying in Korea to play an event...though the KLPGA season concluded last week.

 

Oh ya....Happy Bday, Aza!!!

[mnmlistgolfr]

Wiesy
NYC
SYR

I think Nos. 1 & 2 will be trying too hard and have all the attention so someone else will sneak through.

[Leftagain]

Lydia
Stacy
Inbee

Finishing in that order would do just fine thx..

I don't want to see Inbee snatch the POY, Vare or Money titles from Stacy and I'd like to see Lydia sneak up to 3rd on the Money & POY ranks. That and the $1m bonus would inject just a little bit of ridiculous into great rookie year.

[rfarrell51]

Going with:

SYR
MJ Hur
Jenny Shin

You just never know in these short fields.

[Lou Loomis]

1. So Yeon: I think a 'win everything' week could really help her take it up a notch next year
2. Karrie: If not So Yeon then I'd love to see Karrie win the whole pot o' gold from the #9 spot
3. Lydia: If not one of those two then it would be great to see Lydia win it all

Stacy over Inbee for POY and the Vare

[AKL Kiwi]

My top three could be any order...

SYR (So Yeon Ryu)
The Librarian (Lydia Ko)
The Bumble Bee (Inbee Park)

It's the Librarians last chance at Julieta Granada"s LPGA tour record for the most money earned by a rookie at $1,633,586.00. She needs $44,554.00 a top 5 finish should do. The bonus should she win I believe does not count towards official prize money so she can not win the money list title.

As usual you can check what your players odds are here in N.Z and after each round.

Last week Christina Kim paid $201.00 or was 201/1 for anyone who bet on her to win before the start.

Anybody see a pattern ??

My picks:

Jenny
SNaP
InBee

[Argonne69]

Inbee
SNaP
Shanshan

The Librarian and Kanga-Ryu have been too inconsistent on Sundays recently. I wouldn't be surprised to see them with a top 5, however. Wiesy has been struggling in the early rounds, and the good weekend rounds aren't enough.

I expect Jenny Shin, Aza, Bam Bam, and Porna to have strong showings.

Lastly, I'll go out on a limb and pick Xtina for a top 5 finish. She had 4 solid rounds last week, so there's no reason why that shouldn't continue.

Jenny Shin or Shanshan?

[tesuquegolfer]

I am liking these in this order:

[b]SYR[/b]
[b]Aza[/b] (she has to improve the putting by 2 strokes per round)
[b]Lydia[/b]

No, looks like a solid shirt to me. :taunt:

 

Here's your pattern:

 

 

I tell you, she's one attractive young woman.

C'mon, nobody picking Chella? Wouldn't that be a sweet victory? Is her dad on the bag this week?

Hey, did you hear when she wins her dad is going to retire???

[tesuquegolfer]

So, [b]LEGS [/b]birdies her first hole and eagles her 8th to top the board at[b] -3. Go LEGS!!!![/b]

[b]Danielle [/b]eagles her 4th, a par 4, wonder if she holed out a 9 iron with a ball marked #4. If I were her, I would change balls every hole to a ball with the number matching the hole being played!

[Qqq123xx]

Stacy

Aza

Chella What a nice long vacation that would be for Dad.

Is the $1 million dollar bonus paid out only if a top 9 player wins, or will it go to the player with the most points regardless of their finish?

It's paid out to the leading points getter on Sunday. The Top 3 control their own destiny. The purse is $2M. There is an additional $500K that will go to the winner. So if one of the Top 3 wins, they receive $1.5M. That's not too bad!

[tesuquegolfer]

For those of you that forgot HYP, she says, I'm 3 under thru my first 11 holes and I plan to keep it going!"

[Hifade]

Love to see Aza or Smokehouse win, with The Librarian second and The Bumble Bee finishing third to edge out SNaP for POY. Would be a great win for Aza to round out a breakout year or Smokehouse to set herself up for next year. Either way........go Killer B's.

BTW.......kudos to Mike Whan (and team) for really doing a great job with the LPGA.

There are only 9 players who have a mathematical chance of winning based upon the points reset and the 3,500 points available for winning the CME. The top 3 control their own destiny in terms of winning and collecting...the next 6 need help and 9th place needs things to fall perfectly, like it did for Bill Haas in the FedEx Cup a year or two ago.

Whoever finished with the most points get the cool $1M and obviously whoever wins the CME event gets $500K. It could be like this year when Billy Ho won both at the Tour Championship or it could be like the year when Phil won the Tour Championship and TW won the overall prize.

[DavePelz4]

The Big 3 are just playing so so. Each with a birdie so far through 8 but IBP has the lone bogey. Wonder if the payout has them a bit tight.

Nah. It's only $1.5M on the line. What pressure?!

[DavePelz4]

Yikes...Creamer starts the back birdie, bogey, bogey, triple?

And another birthday girl playing in the CME. Happy Birthday Thidapa!

[DavePelz4]

Between IBP, Lewis and Ko they average over 12 birdies per round. Today, 3.

Yeah, but black knee highs... so she's got that going for her, which is nice.
