yes, definitely well written and well researched from my own knowledge of philippine sports... you guys know more about yuka than me ... i put more focus on my "bets" but yuka aint a pushover that's for sure :) i dunno where dottie and clarris guce end up come next year's olympics (assuming it finally pushes through) but this year is key for all 4 of them - whoever produces in their respective "tours" gets to represent...

NBC is taking this seriously

 

2020 U.S. Women's Amateur Broadcast Schedule, August 5-9, 2020

"Terry Gannon will provide the play-by-play, with two-time U.S. Women’s Amateur champion Kay Cockerill serving as the lead analyst from a booth at Woodmont Country Club. Steve Burkowski, a veteran of eight U.S. Women’s Amateurs, will be a hole announcer, while 2017 U.S. Women’s Amateur champion and current Symetra Tour player Sophia Schubert is joining Golf Channel regulars Karen Stupples and Curt Byrum as on-course reporters."

A refreshing change from FOX... (I may be biased but I never really found the FOX coverage(s) of US Men/Women/Boys/Girls Pro/Amateur golf up to "par" versus NBC/CBS)... the only sports coverage that is done well by FOX for me is MLB/Bowling (even then, Chris Schenkel covered PBA bowling way better in the 70-80s - ok dead giveaway for my age -- but honestly am not THAT old)...

Jin Young Ko and Sung Hyun Park have no place to go but LPGA

Of the three, the Hanwha Classic is a major tournament."

Rose Zhang, 17, is a total package; she' hard to beat!

She didn't gather early fame like fellow Chinese American Lucy Li, who's less than a year older; but her career potential is so much higher.

So the LPGA is letting players keep the status they had this season for next however, what will happen to players like Kelly Tan provided she continues playing well and ends up being top 80? Will she have played well for nothing regarding her status?
