Got my Christmas present early this year. . .as she said, the girls already here will help her to assimilate into the LPGA. . .maybe she and Jin Young could room together. . .
I knew her parents were all for it but I think the road to the Olympics was the final driver just as it was in 2015 when several Koreans came over as rookies to get the points up so that they could qualify for the Olympic team. . .She's 20th now, could easily make top 10. . .
I thought a lot of others would be as happy as me about Lucky 6 coming to the LPGA. . . She's a great addition and in my opinion more relatable to the average Joe than others that have come over. . .I think she's gonna do great and qualify for the Olympic team. . . I'm looking forward to joining her American Fan Club and getting my own Lucky 6 ball and autographed 8x10. . .
Anne van Dam is second to Georgia Hall on LET 2018 order of merit; she should be the No. 1 challenger to Lucky 6 for Louise Suggs Rookie of the Year award.
She leads driving distance with an average of 282.53 yards.
She's 5'9" and 23; younger than Lexi and two months older than Ariya.
Like I said, I will need to get in better shape since I will add Jeong Eun with players to follow. Which includes So Yeon, Jin Young, In Gee, Jessica, and Youngin Chun. Also plug in Mi-Hyang Lee and the former USC Trojan golfers. Them getting paired together would sure help.
Like a Fan Club meeting a day prior, I think Lucky 6 is being congratulated on her two Major wins in 2018 and well wishes for her LPGA sojourn, with plenty of good food and the lighting of two candles. . .
I thought a lot of others would be as happy as me about Lucky 6 coming to the LPGA. . .
BEEN THERE, DONE THAT department:
At Bedminster in 2017 I watched rep Ann Cain record Six's Titleist ball and glove (size M) order during a practice day...she was at the range side-by-side with Seung Hyun Lee and SW Bae.
Saw her again during Sunday's round playing the 12th and 13th holes with Crusty Kerr. Crusty bogeyed both holes and did her usual chirping, while Six made pars. I later read comments by Lucky 6 saying she had never played with an age-40+ touring pro before and didn't understand what Kerr was saying (Lucky 6 was lucky in that regard). My report has more details on this pairing...I concluded a paragraph with this sentence:
I want to see more of Lucky 6 in the major leagues.

Lucky 6 will be unlucky if she pairs up with that 40 year old woman again. Cristie won't read the quote on her own, but somebody will inevitably bring it up to her.
Well, the KLPGA is a young tour. I don't see anything wrong with her statement about Kerr. It's just refreshingly honest (unless you are omitting some additional context).
