Memorable Moments of the 2017 LPGA Season

3- Brooke Henderson shoots a 63 in front of her massive supporters.

If you weren't there, you might think that this is rated much too high. If you were, it was a tournament you will never forget. I have seen bigger turnouts (The U.S. Open in Lancaster, Pa. for one), but never seen such a high percentage of the crowd following one player. Unless you got a seat by a hole two hours before she got there, you weren't going to get to see much. Shooting a course record 63 on Saturday under that kind of pressure was remarkable. As each birdie dropped, the noise was deafening. How great would this tour be if they got this kind of support from some of the other big cities? Kudos to the Ottawa fans for showing such marvelous support.

Ya....TV would never catch the size/magnitude of the galley following the ECP.

I wish I was at Lancaster to watch DUMBO win.

Tony...did you watch Brooke play at the 2015 CP CWO?....I only watch one hole...not many watching Brooke and this was a week after her 1st LPGA win in Portland...the galleries were SMALL all week....I was shocked considering the success in 2012.

Did you watch Ko on the back 9 at the 2012 CN CWO?....the galleries were HUGE....they were actually HUGE all week.
I spoke with a gal who use to work at the pro shop at VGC...she said the excitement from the members had fizzled down when they re-hosted the event in 2015.

Really disagree with the ECP at #3...she gagged/choked on Sunday.


Your list was too conventional...how about mine?

10.)  Luci Li wins ANA Junior (against a field including Hye Jin Choi) to get into the ANA Championship.

9.)  Ha Na Jang quits LPGA Tour - three months after winning in Australia, she is run out of the USA by In Gee Chun and the Flying Dumbos.

8.)  Lorena Ochoa Match Play - BadA$$ won it, but no one saw it as there was no TV!  We now know that Mexico hates women's golf more than the New York City area.

7.)  Nasa Hataoka's reboot - stunk it up badly on the LPGA...had to see a doctor for chest pains after flopping in USWO qualifier in NJ...but retooled her game in Japan and passed LPGA q-school again.

6.)  C. Kerr wins Lotte/Hawaii - Kerr schooled and discombobulated KLPGA visitor Su Yeon Jang to get the win.

5.)  H. Nomura wins Texas shootout - Haru doesn't let Kerr get into her head and beats her in a marathon playoff.

4.)  McKayson NZ Open - One of the worst fields assembled in many years.  Smokeshow had the quote of the year when the weather went crazy:  "We're like sheeps!"

3.)  MHL wins in Scotland - I'll never forget the wide-eyed expression and reaction she gave in the clubhouse when informed that she was the winner.

2.)  Evian Championship - a continuing blot on Mike Whan's record that hit rock bottom.

1.)  USWO/Bedminster - a ridiculous circus that was effectively sabotaged by the media, Martha's Air Force, and The Purple Gang.  But, rising above the garbage was THE AGE OF CYBORG!

If Lexi Thompson could have gotten away with moving her ball two inches closer.
She would have won the CME group.

A old TV detective use to say.
"If you do the crime, you must do the time."

Personal memorable moment was seeing the president (of the United States) at the US Women's Open. On TV there was Lexi's stupid crying at the Inspiration, and of course In Gee and In-Kyung's beautiful hug on the 18th green at Kingsbarns.
