In Bee Park - Best putter of all time in LPGA?

[8602081]

Even the announcers are amazed with her ability..

 

She's on another level in putting and always been..

 

[Stooch]

That I've seen, yes.

[Argonne69]

Strangely though she's only led the tour in putting average twice. She's finished in the top 5 several times. 

 

MJ can give her a run for the money. Lydia is no slouch. 

 

[iBanesto]

I've always liked Ai Miyazato's putting stroke.

Ooooh, yeah. She could really roll the rock. Such great tempo, both in her putting stroke, and her full swing.

 

 

[Socrates]

I think if someone was to putt money on the line, I would want Cristie Kerr putting. 

[elwhippy]

I will take In Bee. She has a Faxon-like simplicity and so many go straight in the front door. 

[Quasimoto]

I think I would invite Annika to take the putt.

[golfgirlrobin]

If someone had to putt for my life, I’d take Christie Kerr, assuming she liked me, because I’m pretty sure she’d miss on purpose if she didn’t.

Lydia is definitely no slouch..

I think Lydia had better short game around the green also..

Robin, I just spit coffee!  That's hilarious!!

I'd take Inbee to do Inbee things.  She frequently makes putts she has no business making.

Inbee does make a crazy amount of lengthy putts. 

 

What I wouldn't give to have the level of stats that the PGA Tour has available. All kinds of putting stats from various lengths.

I'd be cleaning up on money games! LOL

You can get some pretty detailed stats with some of the apps and programs these days. I pace off all my putts and have stats from all ranges, with 5 foot increments. I can see and benchmark my performance against any handicap level to see how I am doing. Not as precise at the pro tour stats, which are measured down to the inch, but it gives me pretty much the same thing. Through this data, I was able to conclude that I am a pretty good short and long range putter, but I need to work on my 5-10, 10-15 foot ranges. 

[xxio]

Are the LPGA putting stats per GIR? Asking because strange she's never led.

 

I would have put her top 3 all time LPGA and even top 15 All time the way she makes them when needed. 

 

Like YJS in his prime, but 3xs the time period.

I was referring to the LPGA putting stats. They only publish putting average and putts per GIR. Without ShotLink they have no stats based on length of putts.

The LPGA publishes Putting Average and Putts per GIR.

 

She finished the 2017, 2014, 2013, 2012, and 2008 seasons leading the Putts per GIR category. In 2009 and 2012 she led the Putting Average category.

Thank you. Seems like she is a great putter then.

I never realized that they don't have many stats at all. How poor is that? Guys have everything, almost down to the length of their pants:>

It's the lack of ShotLink. When you know the starting and ending point of every shot, one can manipulate the data in all kinds of crazy ways.

FWIW, in her prime playing days (when she played a full schedule), the Queen Bee would just demoralize the field with her putter. (What she did to Stacy Lewis in that last Evian before it became a major was breathtaking) Kerr and Lydia come close, but there’s an old saying that imitation is the greatest form of flattery. To that effect, I tend to recall a whole wave of pros who at least tinkered with the “left hand low” after witnessing Inbee’s putting prowess. 

[wjdpar1]

In Bee could be the best putter.  Clearly she is an example of a person "born with it" when it comes to golf.  I kind of chuckle when I watch - she's so good at golf and scoring with such a weird swing and tempo.

[MaineMariner]

I find her putting fascinating. She has a really slow tempo and has the toe way up off the ground. If I didn't know who she was and you told me she was a terrible putter, I'd believe it. And then she drains 30 footers without breaking a sweat. It's mighty impressive.

[ebk]

Yes, Inbee Park is one of the best ever putters on LPGA.

 

But Google Kathy Whitworth...

[elwhippy]

I doubt Kathy was putting on greens as fast and undulating as Inbee. I love watching her putt. 

[Tiger12]

In Bee is the best!

We think….probably.  Without detailed stats it’s like saying Hogan never missed a green and Locke was the best putter ever.  
  All may be true along with Inbee’s putting but we really do not know without the details Shotlink provides.

[Rapidcat]

Possibly and probably and just as well for her.

[iBanesto]

It looks effortless and easy her technique with the putter.
