I've my preliminary number which is pretty good but isn't accurate to the second decimal.   Unfortunately, Rolex hasn't updated their April 19 data and therefore I can't publish the results.

 

Year to date, @Lobby is neck to neck with @Argonne69 for #2 position.   Additionally, @MagicClassic407 and @BadgerLin both have moved ahead of you.

 

You're now #6 year to date, but I'm sure you'll contend for the top position when everything is said and done.

Thanks.

 

Unfortunately, they haven't updated the information from Lotte Championship in terms of points earned by each individual.

Twenty of our picks will tee off at this week's Hugel-Air Premia LA Open.   Danielle Kang and Bianca Pagdanganan aren't in the field.

 

I don't know why Danielle scratched at the last moment, hope it isn't anything serious!

 

Yealimi Noh is paired with Leona Maguire and Gabriela Ruffels, one group ahead of Nelly Korda, Inbee Park and Charley Hull.  We'll have a chance to see Yealimi on TV for the first time this year if she plays decently.

I thought Rolex is a good watch company; I hope their watches are more reliable than their website.

 

It's inexcusable that they haven't updated their ranking details by the afternoon of a Tuesday, shame to them!

Not to mention that the LPGA tournament concluded a day earlier than usual.

2019 end on Saturday too, don't remember 2018.  I think the rule is event the following week end Sat. but no event following week ends on Sunday.

[Golf Dino]

Rolex is probably too busy dealing with the bonfire that is European Club football (soccer) and the proposed "Super League" instead of the Champions League!!     I say this with "tongue firmly planted in the cheek" as I don't think world football/soccer is a target market for Rolex!  

[Argonne69]

Looks like the Rolex rankings for 4/19 are up this morning.

[18majors]

This is shaping out to be "The Shootout at the OK Corral."  On the left, we've Jessica, Brooke and Hannah; on the right, we've Jin Young, Sei Young and So Yean.  I've a feeling the Koreans will hold their own over the next two rounds, it's up to the other girls to put out a fight.

 

The contest can't be closer.  @18majors is less than one point ahead of @Sharrow and @jumpcut; while @Supermilo and @Argonne69 are also within ten points of the lead.

I'm still using su oh as a decoy despite +5 today 😁

[18majors]

Have to give Jessica Korda and Brooke Henderson a lot of credit; they managed to stay with Jin Young Ko even though Jin Young was playing out of this world.

 

The contest will be decided by who among Jessica, Jin Young or Brooke wins the tournament.  As of now, @18majors leads @Golf Dino, with @Sharrow and @jumpcut right on the heels.

[Lobby]

Hey, Maria Fassi could shoot 18 under and take this thing!    Putting moi on top.   🙂

[Stooch]

Sung Hyun Park is the anchor around my neck in this competition, I probably would have been better off taking Yani Tseng, they'd have got me the same amount of points lol.  At this point I'm hoping SHP doesn't pull the pin and head back to Korea to figure things out and leave me a player short, although it probably won't change my point total each week 🙂

The advantage of Sung Hyun, is that she'll go to the two no-cut Asian events and picks up tons of points.

Brooke is such a money player; she chased down not just Jessica Korda, but Jin Young Ko as well

 

It looks like @18majors edged out @Golf Dino for the win, we need to wait for Rolex updates to confirm!

 

Like Brooke, @BadgerLin is a clutch player.  She may've edged out @Argonne69 for third place year to date.

Perhaps you can enlighten me how our scoring/points system works.   These are our fantasy rosters:

 

Golf Dino:                      Jin Young Ko, Brooke Henderson, Nelly Korda, Jeong Eun Lee6, Yealimi Noh

18majors:                       Lydia Ko, Brooke Henderson, Nelly Korda, Jessica Korda, Yealimi Noh

 

Order of Finish: 

 

1.  Brooke

2. Jess 

T3. Hannah

T3. JYK

T5. So Yeon Ryu

T5. Angela Stafford

7.   Jeoneung Lee 6

...

T10.  Nelly Korda   

 

Everyone of my players made the cut with 4 in the Top 10 while your had 3 in the Top 10.

 

I admit that I have not been paying attention to the scoring system or how the points are awarded, but it just seemed counterintuitive today.

 

Thanks @18majors

Brooke is the top dog, she got the winner's point.

 

Jessica is the solo second, she got 60% of Brooke's; Jin Young T3 and got 35% of Brooke's, Lucky 6 is solo 7th, she got 18% of Brooke's.

 

Jin Young + Lucky 6 < Jessica.

So our scoring system emphasis the top players ... and quickly diminishing for Top-10 finishes like Nelly?   And we are not awarding points all the way through the roster?   Just to a certain position?  And that birdie on 18 by Jess is what gave you the win this week (Rolex pts. notwithstanding)??

Rolex awards points to Top-65 and ties.

 

Rolex copies their scoring system from PGA’s OWGR.

 

Most of LPGA’s point systems copy Rolex’s, with minor changes.  LPGA’s official money distribution is also an identical copy of Rolex’s.

Thanks for the response.  Definitely makes it easier to calculate after each event!

The world is fair afterwards, It's my turn to miss my players.  Nelly, Brooke and Jessica are skipping the Asian Swing:

Running into my 3 weeks off!!!! Wooooo!!

Boy, not only do you appear to have inside info out on the tour, but you also know the gender of us posters.   🙂

Amazing.

OK.   Am I a girl or a guy?   All you know is that I like diamonds...
