Winds are forecasted to stay around 12 mph through out the afternoon; it shouldn't be a factor in scoring.

What a mess so far. I like Jin Young's chances, amid all this chaos.

Lydia's stats are mind boggling; 21 putts in 10 holes, 3 bogeys including a 3-putt bogey.
This is as far a departure from the old winning Lydia as we've ever seen.

So Yeon minus 3 today, not great but a lot better than plus three. She missed only three greens today, and had six birdies. That's trending in the right direction, now to turn those missed greens into pars.

Inbee might have earned enough Rolex points to replace In Gee as the fourth Korean International Crown member.
As of tomorrow, the team are:
So Yeon Ryu Sung Hyun Park IK Kim Inbee Park

Cristie Kerr will move ahead of Inbee and In Gee to No. 8 on Rolex ranking.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BgxH2CNjqh8 Congratulation to Eun-Hee Ji for a great win of the tournament and the hole in one. She also walks away with two cars a great week indeed. Kudos to In Kyung Kim for another really good tournament. Top ten for Jin Young Ko and Hye Jin Choi. However getting it to 13 under after number ten.... she struggled coming in with two bogeys and no birdies. Hye Jin Choi on the other hand made birdie on 4 0f the last six holes. A minus nine weekend for both.

Ji Whiz!!!I'll admit I was rooting HARD for IK Kim to win this one. Inky had an all right day today, but three short putt misses killed her. Was it 13 when she was about five feet from the hole and three putted? Then she missed another even shorter birdie try on 14. That's a three shot swing that could have been crucial to getting the win. Still, a top five, by far her best result of the year. Meanwhile, in the end the right player won. How good was Eun Hee Ji? How about 18/18 GIR? And as if that wasn't enough, she jars the hole-in-one on the 14th hole to win the car. That was really, really special. As she walked to collect her ball, she glanced over at the car and said, 'mine'. Indeed! In all the time I've watched the Sisters, the only other time I remember an ace in the final few holes of a tournament to lead to a Korean win was when Jimin Kang holed out on a par 3 late in the final round in 2005 (I think) to collect her first career win. And beat Annika to boot. It's going to be hard to top Ji's ace as shot of the year, that's for sure, but hopefully 2018 will have a few more contenders! As for the other players, Jeong Eun Lee 5 silently collected a top ten (did they show her once?), while Hyejin Choi and Jin Young Ko both shot 69s to grab a share of 10th. Inbee also had a 69, as did So Yeon. Park had a top 20, but Ryu finished 33rd. Not the best form for her to have heading into her title defense, but she certainly played better than Thompson did. Congrats again to 'Mickey Mouse' Eun Hee Ji on her 4th career victory! Eun Hee Ji won two-two-two cars in one (tournament) Mirim Lee finished T-33rd in her title defense Income Kim still collected a nice check and a top four Penguin Hyejin Choi Jin Young Ko - another top ten. As the commentators said earlier this week, Hannah Green continues to push her to the limit in the Rookie race... Rocket - always awesome (t-14)

Congratulations to Eun Hee Ji! I saw her make a hole-in-one a few years ago at Pumpkin Ridge.
How many winners shot an ace in her final round? I remember Jimin Kang getting one. At Corning, maybe?

Another good tournament for Hee Young Park, maybe she is on her way back. Also good second place finishes for Christie Kerr and Lizette Salas. Missed Jeong Eun5 top ten, congratulation to her as well.

I was camped out behind the 14th green for about an hour and a half... Of course I left before Eun-hee Ji aced it, but I did see Aditi Ashok birdie it, so I had that going for me, which was nice...
EDIT: Additional thoughts and observations in the tournament reports section.

Cristie Kerr will move ahead of Inbee and In Gee to No. 8 on Rolex ranking. Unfortunately, she went up to 7th.

Why isn't I.K. in the final group? Oftentimes I get this feeling that the LPGA is a joke, that it runs ITSELF like a Mickey Mouse operation. I'm one of the few humans planning to attend the Symetra Tour's Valley Forge Invitational...that's only two months away, but they have no event website link set up yet.
