Hopefully Ko gives a nice % to her caddy before her mom fires him later today.

I think The Dragon Lady let's Jason sweat it out over the off season and Xmas....whether Jason has a bag come January.

Lydia said her mom wanted a 5 figure purse, so she'll get her that. Jason will probably get a $20 shell gas card.

[DavePelz4]

What a sweet and humble young woman. Kudos to her parents on a job well done.

Lydia squealing in surprise after getting picked up by Sandra Gal on the 18th Hole was great.

LEGS is such a friendly pro...she gave The Rocket a really big hug when HYP won and was crying at the season ending event in 2011.

You think some of the Merican diva's could learn from Lydia? [size=4] [/size]

At least Shell has V-Power.

I'm sure The Dragon Lady will also put the $20 gas card on Jason's tax form as a taxable benefit so she can write off the expense for Lydia.

If Lydia wins the million does it not count towards earnings?
Because it would take her over 3 mil, and SnaP would need 400+
[/quote]

No, they stated earlier in the broadcast that the bonus does not count towards the yearly money title.

[Argonne69]

Wow, what a win, and what a year. We knew the Librarian would be good, but this was just crazy. Three wins, ROTY, no missed cuts, 50+% top ten finishes, and she gets to buy her mom a real cool purse. She is one cool cat. She may have felt pressure, but she sure didn't show it, unlike Ciganda who was outwardly nervous as heck.

Congrats to Stacy as well. She didn't pick up the big bonus check, but POTY, Vare Trophy, and total winnings is a fantastic year by any measure. Well done, and it was good to see a smile on her face.

Another solid tournament by Wiesy. She let a few moosed putts spoil what might have been a real run for the win. However, it was good enough to collect the $100K third place CME bonus check.

I predicted the leaders to fade, but they hung in there. Nice job, especially Dora the Explorer. I gotta get some hybrid hitting lessons from her.

If Kanga-Ryu could finish strong on Sundays, she's easily have twice as many wins. She had a nice finish today, but once again she let the tournament slip away early.

[Argonne69]

Lol. Was it only fitting that The Librarian's birdie putt on the final playoff hole cam up an inch short? Had she made the birdie in regulation, the playoff would have been avoided.

The the CME Group set up the playoff, I don't think they could have imagined such an exciting finish. The tournament winner also collects the bonus, and the win takes 4 playoff holes to decide. It was certainly a great way to end the season.

[/quote]
Also ask Dora for some 3W lessons....those were pretty sweet shots in the playoff under pressure....quite a bit of difference trying to hit a pure shot with a FW vs. 2" shorter hybrid.

Have you guys/gals noticed how so many LPGA pros use the older TM gear.[list]
[*]Carlota & Dora.....RBZ Stage 2 FW's
[*]Recari.....R11 irons
[*]SNaP.....R1 driver
[*]Cheese (Gerina)....RBZ driver
[*]etc
[/list]

[A.G.Blade]

Congrats to Lydia, she is just a machine! 5 wins by 17 is best in lpga history; wouldn't that be pga too? Gotta be the over all record

Inbee still plays the old RBZ fairway wood.

I guess if it ain't broke, ...

[Qqq123xx]

Was really hoping Ciganda would pull it out. Tough miss on 17 and of course the playoff.

[Argonne69]

Four players averaged less than 70 strokes a round this year. That's impressive. We'll have to create a 'Year in Review' thread after this one dies down to discuss the highs/lows/sideways of the year.

[DavePelz4]

That's a first for the LPGA.

Can't wait for late Jan when it starts all over again.

[Leftagain]

Wow, congrats Lydia! Was hoping for it but didn't really expect it, 68-68 on a weekend where the rest of the top 10 only had one round under 70, pretty solid.

I thought the longer the playoff went it was more advantage to Carlotta, with her length she had to get one close eventually, which she did but then moosed it up. As Argonne mentioned Carlotta looked nervous as, didn't really want the win to come via such a poor approach but that's pressure I guess.

[78Staff]

I'm still mesmerized by Gal's skirt...who won?

lol

Was pulling for Ciganda, but Ko got it done. Ms. Pouty was graceful after loosing the 1mil but you know she has to be ate up inside.

I'm pretty sure Lewis picked up $150K and Wiesy $100K for finishing 2nd and 3rd.

Lewis continued with the club throwing and failing to acknowledge applause again today. I get that it was a long season but come on...be nice.

And as Arg noted, the bonus money was unofficial.

Not so fast.

Q-school starts in 2 weeks and there are many notable players and Big Break gals.
I think there will by some good discussion in the LPGA folder....with many members rooting for their fav's

We feel bad that the Stanley Cup hasn't been won by a Canadian team in 20 years.

Make that 21 years.
