2019 Meijer LPGA Classic Jun 13 - 16

[18majors]

Race for Rookie of the Year:

 

Lucky 6, 849

Kristen Gillman, 370

Charlotte Thomas, 162

Lucky 6 has more than double her closest pursuer, but Kristen is also more than double the third place contender.

Did she go to USC? Asking for a friend who got in on a yachting scholarship...

[WestTex]

So my quick take. Lexi and Brooke look like the ones to beat if their form holds to the KPMG. Between the two I may be calling it for Lexi. Kupcho had a great a showing, and I know she has loads of talent, but I felt myself getting a little annoyed with her anger/woe is me reactions to having a bad day. She JUST started as a pro, not likely to be a world beater just yet. Her caddie, if not going to be her dad, needs to keep her chin up and fight back. If she can control that, she'll do just fine. Hoping she grows past it with this, a good showing again.

I love her bomb and gouge approach. As long as the LPGA sets up courses on the easy side, she can multiple yearly win her way through the foreseeable future, as closer will always be better.

She could definitely win an Open Championship with that approach, if they have a week with the wind laying down, heck maybe even if the wind is up, as she really gets on rolls with that driver.

[Stooch]

Lots of positional shake ups on the top 10 of the world rankings this week, Ariya fall continues, she's gotta get it together or she soon will fall out of top 10.

Brooke is hitting 71.1% of her fairways, so she's doing a good job avoiding the gouge. Of the 10 long hitters (275+), she's 3rd in total driving.

I understand Jennifer's frustration. She shot three rounds of 67 averaging 11.3 fairways, and 15 greens. On Sunday she managed only 8 fairways leading to 12 greens. One of the announcing crew mentioned this weekend that poor ballstriking makes poor putting even worse.

First I'll start by saying all girls on tour are amazingly talented but some are more talented than others. There are many ways of winning on tour but I think some players need things to break right for them to win. IMO Jennifer has the game that if she brings it she can beat anybody. Sorta like Brooke, Ariya, SHP, Jin Young, Lexi, Minjee on their best weeks your in trouble if you don't have yours or they can steal wins by going crazy in final round or weekends, SHP has done this a few times. Like Brittaby A. (or Brittany2 as she was named lol) her only chance was Brooke falling off, which she did and it still wasn't enough. I think Jennifer will be fine, she's just gotta figured it out as a pro.

[Argonne69]

Has anyone had a more up and down year than Su? After finishing 2T in the year's first event she went on to miss seven cuts, including a stretch of six in a row. It will be interesting to see if this week was a fluke, or whether she's gotten her game back on the rails.

Su has been a consistent Top 40-50 player.

She's breaking out this year; No. 34 on order of merit.

Brooke's not really long with irons, pretty average. She's not Lexi that's for sure...190 pw...wtf...lol

Not to discredit Brooke and her financial gains, but she does play more events than most people, which in turn she earns more. Lucky she's young, hope she knows when to take a rest and recharge, or she might pull a Lexi on us.

[18majors]

When they qualified via 2018 Q-Series, I expected Kupcho, Fassi and Kristen to be top of the collegiate rookie class; it's moving that way.

Jaclyn Lee haven't been able to do much because of wrist injury; but she should start to shine brighter soon.

It's the catch-22 Brooke has always like the accuracy she feels she has gripping down on all her clubs and chooses that as a benefit to her game on the LPGA. If she changed the way she grips her clubs I think all her clubs would get a little longer. But if she ever undertook such a change she would go all Lydia and be in the wilderness for a couple years waiting for the changes to translate into winning on tour if she was able to do it successfully. With such changes she would have to get the feel and find the accuracy then learn all the new distances you hit each club. I doubt she consider such a thing after seeing Lydia go through with a major swing change. Especially when I don't think any player has more wins then her since she's been on tour and on Sunday she did hit as many par 5's in 2 as Lexi, Brooke's problem was she 3 putted them lol.

 

Now if Brooke at the CVS Charity Challenge were to ask Brad Faxon (someomne she knows well) to be a consultant (she seems pretty upitty when you don't call her Dad her coach) for putting and short game, that is something I think would be smart move on her part.

OK, how about scoring average? In 2016, her first full year on tour, she finished 11th in scoring. She was 10th the following year, 4th last year, and now 2nd. 'Definitely trending in the right direction.

Sure, which has nothing to do with Argonne's reply to my post.

On a 400yd hole being 120 out is going to benefit any player just as much as Lexi. Having the accuracy off the tee to go with it, all the better.

I wasn't knocking her game, I just said she plays alot, and finishes high on the board which equals bigger pay day. She's trending to take over the 1 spot, that's where she's trending.

Well no, I guess not. Theres a few who might keep up with the driver, but irons nope.

[18majors]

Lost in the shuffle is Nelly Korda; who quietly had her first Top-10 in last four events.

Can Nelly turbo charge back into Player of the Year conversation? We'll know that after KPMG Women's PGA!

Right, I was pointing out she's not the longest iron player, which in turn could make it difficult to be a bomb and gouge type of player as you labeled her.

No, I think you made a good point about earnings. Playing lots of events, or winning a major can definitely skew the numbers.

[Argonne69]

I believe they commented yesterday that Brooke is a bit steep with her irons. She's not Lexi steep, but it does help dig it out of the rough. For a long player, she 5th in green in regulations. That's pretty darn good. Lexi is #22 in GIRs.

I noticed Nelly and her Top 10 and saw it did nothing for her world ranking. I then came to the conclusion why do we care about Top 10's they're pretty meaningless. If you're at the top of the rankings and you aren't getting Top 5's, you are losing ground to other top players. Although this is more the result of so much competition, if you stand still a couple weeks so many others are passing you by.

Oh sure, but again even an average iron length LPGA player is hitting wedge from 120yds, all things being equal. If you simply pull out driver every hole, regardless of how it sets up, you're bombing. I do like Argonne's "Bomb without the gouge" though :)

Especially for her Hawaiian win she was regularly inside 100 yds as she chose to keep hitting driver, even on some of those finicky short holes.

Bit bummed they are going back to Woburn for this year's Open, but who knows maybe she can get away with it there.

Aside from winning, solo second is the only way to go.

The difference between solo second and solo third is more than the difference between solo tenth and missing cut.

Perfect, being 5th in gir's means whether it's fairway or rough she's getting it on the dance floor. Considering she's sitting at no 80 in driving accuracy, she's making it happen one way or another.

On a curious side note, "in theory" the longer players should have a higher gir, considering their second shot would be shorter. You kinda seem surprised by her ranking 5th?

___________

I totally agree. The Rolex Rankings are far from perfect and these "defects" in the scoring system only contributes to the rampant upheaval on the rankings. There really needs to be more reward on finishing Top - 10 than the current system as well as setting a higher number of events played to be used as the common divisor.

Longer usually means less accurate. Lexi is 22nd in GIR. Anne van Dam is #1 in driving distance, but 60th in GIRs. Distance by itself is no guarantee of hitting greens. The right balance of distance and accuracy is key, and Brooke has that. That's why I generally look at Total Driving. She seems to manage her misses. We've seen very few wild misses from her.

If you're at the top of the rankings and you aren't getting Top 5's, you are losing ground to other top players. Although this is more the result of so much competition, if you stand still a couple weeks so many others are passing you by.

There really needs to be more reward on finishing Top - 10 than the current system as well as setting a higher number of events played to be used as the common divisor.

You want the minimum of 35 to be higher? If they made it 40 it wouldn’t change things much.
