Jin Young Ko, Nelly Korda, Jeong Eun Lee6, Yealimi Noh

 

The battle comes down to Minjee Lee vs. Sei Young Kim vs. Brooke Henderson.

Since no one went the all-Seoul Sisters route, I'll throw in. If these gals all play a relatively full schedule, they're unbeatable.

This competition is flawed by basing it on the LPGA money list, thereby making 2020's KLPGA scoring average/money list winner Hyo Joo Kim ineligible.

rules are rules, and Ashleigh and Jennifer are in the same group, so I guess Drop Ashleigh and add Sung Hyun Park, might as well swing for the fences

At the conclusion of Round 1; @Lobby is leading the contest.

[18majors]

 

It's a bit lonely with only four of our picks in the field this week.

 

But, they didn't disappoint; they swept the Olympic medal podium.

 

Hope the Koreans return to the Gainbridge in 5 weeks!

Did Gainbridge change from an 108 to an 120 field?

Nice early lead, 18majors!  I hope Brooke uses this next month to work with a putting guru! 🤭

The lead is nice, but it's irrelevant until Korean players start to show up.

 

It has nothing to do with the contest; but I hope the Korda sisters can elevate themselves to World Top-2.  It's the kind of heart warming story that can truly spur the growth of LPGA.

Totally agree.  I think that story would have a lot of traction with casual golf fans and with some who pay no attention to women’s golf.

[18majors]

The entry list for the next three events are out; unfortunately, Jin Young Ko, Sei Young Kim, Inbee Park, Minjee Lee, So Yean Ryu and A Lim Kim aren't in the field.

 

Unexpectedly, Matilda Castren will play all three events.

Edited January 27, 2021 by 18majors

[18majors]

 

LPGA is treating 2020 rookies like real 2021 rookies, their 2020 results have been totally ignored.  Their entries into tournaments are entirely based on the priorities at the begining of 2020.

 

There're pros and cons like everything else.  I wonder if there'll be asterik if a rookie sets the world on fire and breaks all rookie records.

Darn.   I really like watching the Seoul Sisters play.

Her putting is some of the worst in the LPGA at times.  She relies too much on her iron play (which is stellar), but she cannot keep knocking them stiff to the pin for four rounds ... she needs to shave at least 1 stroke off of her putting average per round and to improve her putts per GIR to dominate.  If she does that consistently, then she wins 3-5 times per season.  

 

I swear her father (as coach) is her downfall.   She really needed to and still need to work with a really good putting coach ... like Faxon or Jay Haas to really nail it down.

I assume we'll see them at the Kia and ANA.

Looks like you should have a very cozy lead in this game by the time the Koreans decide to start playing. As I said before, well played.

I don’t remember ever seeing entries posted this far ahead of a regular tournament. Isn’t the deadline normally the Friday before the first round? If Jin Young Ko decides next week that she wants to play Kia then she’s playing Kia.
