Luck plays a role, but I believe it plays less of a role in golf than for most other sports. 72 holes over four days tends to even things out. Luck may have played more of a role in SHP's weather-shortened win but she might have won it anyway. However, SHP made some critical shots under intense pressure during her wins this year. It's what she's known for. Other players may be steadier throughout the four days, but I'll take Namdalla when it's crunch time on the final holes. Sung Hyun Park is 25, she's won 5 LPGA tournaments including 2 majors. She also won 7 times at KLPGA in 2016. Amazing stat, yes; but it paled in comparison with Yani Tseng who won 15 LPGA tournaments including 5 majors after she just turned 23. A player looks clutch and invincible when she wins but it's a different story when the winning stops. I'm not saying Sung Hyun will fade like Yani. But a player who wins with mediocre scoring average is winning without good fundamentals; and it won't last long. Yani did win the Vare trophy. Cmon! But to your point, I still got more out of Yani's career than Lewis, who is a scoring avg mainstay w/o as many wins. All just personal preference?

donYou're a young guy, don't tell me your memory is failing you at your old age. Scoring average is never Yani's cup of tea. Her best year was No. 4 with 70.765; for a player who's the most dominant three years in the history of the game. For your information; Sung Hyun Park was second in SA last year, but this year she's No. 22 with +43 to par 70.

You telling me she average 70.765 or higher that year? I deserve an updated Rory picture from you for that.

Those broadcasters made it sound like The New Ko was on a suicide watch on Sunday...all she did was shoot 73. I didn't follow the entire broadcast...did I miss something? Almost every time a Korean golfer is in the lead or near the lead. If they hit a rough patch in the round. They make a comment about their body language. They do it a lot more about Sung Hyun Park for some reason. They don't show the Korean golfers enough on the broadcast to correctly pronounce their names. So what make them an expert on reading their body language.

I witnessed Yani's driver swing in 2008 on the range at Upper Montclair CC...totally inhuman for woman...and I'm not sure if many guys could have duplicated her form. The G-forces hitting her lower back on the follow-thru & finish were off the charts.

That’s Big Golf misinformation. I was there, man! Does this mean we're not getting a new Rory picture? If we could get Rory launching a wedge over a green I’d be pleased.

Even Shack made a women’s golf blog post about Nelly’s win.

“Article”. I like everything thing he writes and says so it’s disappointing he has, let’s be honest, zero interest in the women’s game. I don’t mean the business part of this either, which I understand to a certain extent. I mean zero interest. Sigh.
