2021 LPGA Contest

[18majors]

@Stooch

 

In three weeks Nelly and Brooke didn't play, Rolex points have changed:

 

Nelly Korda                                         383.59          368.40          -15.19           -3.96%

Brooke Henderson                             344.36          328.57           -15.79          -4.59%

Sung Hyun Park                                  173.66          161.17             -12.49          -7.19%

 

Percentage wise, Nelly and Brooke had decreased less.  This is because the points they won this season are bigger parts of their point total:

 

Nelly                                                     33.9%

Brooke                                                  25.8%

Sung Hyun                                            1.80%

As of now, twelve of our picks are in the field next week. 

 

Players who've played the Asian swing are:

Sung Hyun Park,  A Lim Kim, Amy Olson, Marina Alex and Su Oh.

 

Others are Sei Young Kim, Nelly Korda, Brooke Henderson, Jennifer Kupcho, Jessica Korda, Bianca Pagdanganan and Brittany Lang.

 

 

 

Our picks have won four out of ten tournaments this season; but we have gone the last two tournaments without a win.

 

This's the second weakest field of the season; no reasons one of our picks doesn't pick up the trophy come Sunday.

 

 

[18majors]

Sei Young Kim is the only Top-10 CME point leaders inside Top-10 after Round 1.  However, Brittany Lang, Jessica Korda, Nelly Korda, Amy Olson and Brooke Henderson are all within four shots of the lead.

 

Either the top guns will restore the order in the next 3 rounds or it'll be Christmas come early for lower ranked players; we'll find out soon.

 

 

[18majors]

Tow rounds in the book; @18majors leads @BadgerLin.

 

However, it's another skinny picking with a weak field and winner earning around 30 points.  The only milestone will be @BadgerLin breaking 300.00 barrier and solidifying her year to date Bronze Medal position.

I am solidifying my spot as a solid "also-ran."  Booking a Top 10 (out of 11) is my main goal now.

You need to have a good talk with Minjee, that her mission in life is to beat Sei Young and Brooke.

[18majors]

The stars of our picks today are Bianca Pagdanganan and Jessica Korda, both shot -4.  Congratulations to Bianca, her LGPA career will take a big turn to the upside after the reshuffle next Monday.  We as fans are also blessed, that we'll see a lot more of her from now on.

 

Not a lot of happening on our contest this week; good news is that both @BadgerLin and @Argonne69 are above 300.00 albeit with the smallest of margins.

 

For the week; @18majors continues to lead @BadgerLin, with @Supermilo a close third.

[BadgerLin]

Really disappointing round by Sei Young today.  5 strokes behind 2 players with Jessica 4 ahead of her.  She will really need to pull out a low one to get a win.  😟

As I am trying to climb out of the bottom, I will take a top 3 finish for this tournament lol...

I'd forgotten I'd picked Amy Olson.

Go, Amy!!!

You're OK, as long as nobody hacks my Excel spreadsheets.

[18majors]

It's an uneventful week for our contest.  @BadgerLin gave it a college try but unfortunately Sei Young Kim didn't catch up to Jessica Korda.

Yes, I could do that if you wish!  Please confirm.

for me, just for kicks, why not... so I’m ok with that, see how bad it gets on some of these players who are not performing (i mean, an LPGA player should be disgusted to be last in any tournament - WD and injuries not counted of course)

I'm confused.

 

Do you want a DFL list for the contestants or for the players?

Elon Musk messing with bitcoin made me unhappy, but luckily I got in long ago and made more money off the early acquisition and taking profit from it, even if what I have left goes to zero, I'll still come out way ahead lol

LOL, I’m referring to "good ol fashioned" foreign currencies, USD and CAD, KRW, JPY, GBP, EUR LOL... now with bitcoin, it's a race to infinity and beyond and back it seems, who holds the hot potato when it spoils loses ... as they say, if i don't know it, i don't invest in it -- just look at Su Oh, do I really know her???  I certainly need to haha

[18majors]

@Supermilo, we're honored to have a billionaire in our ranks.  Most of the early investors in bitcoin are billionaires.  @Stoochturned his $3.0 millions investment in bitcoin into $1.2 billions.  No wonder he lives in his 10,000 acres ranch in Northern Ontario, with his own personal satellite earth station.

 

Hail to  @Stooch !

Not that early and no way was I betting the farm on bitcoin at that point.  Money yes, life changing no.

Maybe we should take a page out of the LPGA's playbook and allow a "re-shuffle" ... where we can drop a pair of players and pick new ones?

Little too participation trophy feeling for me, like Phil Mickelson, I must let my failures inspire me to work even harder. 😇
