Rory McIlroy:                                    2,400,000

Another week and another Yealimi Noh KLPGA tournament; this time in Vietnam.  She may not be playing well, but she'll set a LPGA record of tournaments played a year:

 

 

 

28 tournaments played so far this year. Iron Woman!

 

Nice to see Ha Na Jang, who unfortunately has struggled this year with 13 MCs.

Currently in red numbers and only 3 back after round 1. 2 bogeys on par 5s is not good though. She should be mashing it past everyone in this field.

This dancing 💃 version of HaNa Jang = seems a long time ago!

The publicity Nelly got this week from PGA Tour, the tournament, LPGA and Beth Ann Nichols are unreal; she can capitalize on it with a good performance; i.e. to finish T5 or better:

They broke the norm to keep Justin Thomas/Tiger Woods and Jordan Spieth/Nelly Korda together for the second round:

Team Korda played tremendously; they tied Team Kuchar and Team Langer for 5th at -21; they beat both Team Woods and Team Spieth.

This 8th grader's swing looks amazing. 

 

Who knows, she may be on the LPGA Tour in a few more years.

Won't be canceled but I doubt you see any Americans in the field, aside from Yealimi

The "Iron Lady" won't disappoint!

 

Besides, she needs it; because she probably won't qualify for either Thailand or Singapore.

Who is Jeeno, here comes Chanettee:

Hoping Albane Valenzuela get her LET card, she'd be a fantastic Solheim Cupper if she qualifies:
