2021 LPGA Season Odds and Ends

[ebk]

Solo first after 17 holes...

USGA made the best decision to host this year's US Women's Open at the Olympics Club; they're promoting the event like their life depend on it.

70-69-66-66. Leading at -17.  One group left.

[ebk]

PLAYOFF.  Rose Zhang and Ruixin Liu finished -17

Liu wins with bird on second playoff hole. Rose made par.  Both players parred first playoff hole.

 

Great tourney for Rose.

[18majors]

Not to be for Rose!

 

More importantly, better luck at ANWA!

 

 

[18majors]

She won KLPGA money title last year, she consistently outplayed Jin Young Ko, Sei Young Kim, Inbee Park and So Yeon Ryu over there.

 

Kim Hyo-joo returns to LPGA tour after 1 year and 4 months

Hinako Shibuno had two indifferent starts in Japan, it doesn't look like her mind is in Japan anymore.

 

She's waiting for her seasonal start at ANA Inspiration next week.

 

Hinako Shibuno didn't improve her score and harvested with dowels "I was about to become friends with the wind (laughs)"

I boycotted Ferherty in 2018 upon hearing he had Phil as a "guest."   However, was flipping channels last week and ended up watching the Feherty show with Laura Davies from a few years back.   What a cool lady.  I really enjoyed that interview - she is such a real person (unlike the aforementioned).

Inbee Park is the player who brought my attention to different type of greens and its effects on the outcome.

 

The three Florida tournaments all played on Bermudagrass greens; Jessica Korda, Nelly Korda, Lydia Ko, Lexi Thompson, Austin Ernst and Jennifer Kupcho are the players who shined.

 

Kia Classic is in California and has poa annua greens; which should favor different group of players.  It's a star studded field:

Yes, and she can't be prouder!

[18majors]

This is it, this may make Rose Zhang a household name!

 

If she wins, I hope she's invited to NYC TV studios like Jennifer Kupcho and Maria Fassi.

 

 

[18majors]

Good news!

A most interesting and heartfelt media day at the Kia Classic today with in Gee Chun.  Depression and mental health is important and it is not as commonly discussed in East Asian families so it was very courageous on her part to discuss it.

HSBC Singapore and Honda Thailand will be played

Yui Kawamoto is the defending champion this week; she shot 63 (-9) in Round 2 and leads JLPGA by 4 going into final round on Sunday. 

Erika Hara is 6th and Hinako Shibuno is T32.

 

Yui Kawamoto is stimulated by Hinako Shibuno's muddy play "Because I'm a professional, I should emulate"

“This is it, this may make Rose Zhang a household name!

She’s a household name in our family, and I too hope she wins.  Either way, there is a bright future ahead for Ms. Zhang.

 

Been seeing her at the range for probably seven or eight years.  She has had the most wonderful swing all that time.

This is prescient.  

Can you tell me tomorrow's lottery numbers, please?  I'll split it with you.

In Gee bought a house near Sei Young Kim.  

To In Gee I say "Welcome to the U.S!"

 

[18majors]

Love this classy event!

 

 

[18majors]

I didn't know this

 

With Kia's sponsorship deal over, LPGA has decisions to make about California event

 

This will be a litmus test on where LPGA is trending.

[18majors]

She has done it again, again, again, again and again!

 

Atthaya bags 6th professional crown

 

[18majors]

If we can only have Augusta National run LPGA!   They do such a spectacular job of presenting their players to the public.

Someone's gotta adjust the hue on the television !    But, yes, a stroke of genius to have Cheyenne join them at Augusta!

Mike Whan in his interview indicated that they were working to have spectators by or just after the Kingsmill event.
