It looks like Ha Neul Kim and Jiyai Shin; No. 4 and 5 money leaders from 2017 JLPGA who're exempted from USWO qualification won't play. So are Ji Hyun Oh and Hae Rym Kim; No. 3 and No. 5 from KLPGA. Wait, are you saying that Ji Hyun Oh and Hae Rym Kim won't play, or that they are exempt and might/will play? Unfortunately, they won't play. Hae Rym rarely ventured into the US in her career, but can't understand why Ji Hyun Oh doesn't give it a try. Ji Hyun is still at the dawn of her career, she's everything going for her.

It's disappointing. Ji Hyun is playing the best golf of her career right now, it would have been interesting to see how she stacked up on the LPGA. She's still young, though, maybe we'll see it soon.

This link is supposed to be a LIVE scoreboard for today's qualifier at Canoe Brook CC: ghintpp.com/njsga/TPPOnlineScoring/ResultsStroke.aspx?id=627Hmm, more like a COMATOSE scoreboard...it looks like they're doing updates after a player completes nine holes. I'm leaving for the course soon, hope to get there by 10:30 AM. I thought about leaving much earlier, but 36 holes is a LONG day and I'll still see plenty of golf. This link has the tee times and course details: www.njsga.org/_media/5218info.pdf

I was planning to watch the final of US Women's Amateur Four Ball on Fox Sports, but unfortunately there's no coverage.
Fox covered the inaugural four ball event at Bandon Dunes 3 years ago; I didn't know they've scaled down the USGA Championships coverage.
Interestingly, USGA is streaming it live on Twitter.

I batted .500 today in good karma. As Grace Na left the driving range to begin her afternoon 18, I said, "Nice opening round, Grace." She replied, "thank you, appreciate it." Earlier in the day, I said to Karen Chung. "I hope you're back on the LPGA soon." She thanked me...but the magic wore off later during her three lousy playoff holes. A full report is coming later. Canoe Brook CC(North) - Summit, NJ
Grace Na +4 72-76-148 Evelyn Arguelles(A) +5 74-75-149 1st Alt. Jennifer McCleary(A) +5 74-75-149 2nd Alt. Karen Chung +5 75-74-149 It's been two years since I saw Grace at the Seaview...and she is still on fire! She needs to get back to the major leagues, pronto. Arguelles is from Mexico...a college sophomore at Dallas Baptist U., which I never heard of before. She's a transfer from Baylor U., and her brother plays on the DBU men's golf team. Her IG account gives Muni some competition: www.instagram.com/evegolf/Kelly Sim(A) is today's hero for golf gear addicts...she had Epon (Forged by Endo) AF-703 irons, 5 thru A-wedge. Even the ferrules are red, which I've never seen before.

The Qualification at Industry City, California isn't done yet; but Andrea Lee of Stanfore looks like a lock, she is second at -1.
In the US Open tradition; under par rounds are rare even for qualification events.
Rose Zhang is currently T12 at +5; she'll probably move up a few notches in ranking when the rounds are completed.
Considering how difficult it's to qualify for USWO; Lucy Li was truly incredible when she qualified at age 11.
Update: Andrea is solo third and Rose moved up to T9.

Can't believe they only take two from Industry City; Andrea Lee is the first alternate.
Patty Tavatanakit (UCLA) and Elizabeth Wang (committed to Harvard 2022) qualified.
