I was just thinking how Jin Young faced tough crowds on her three wins. Her first win Hanna Bank there mostly In Gee and Sung Hyun fans. ISP Honda there were Australia fans pulling for Hannah Green. The Founders there were the go Nelly fans. Just a thought don't read anything else into it. Did Nelly have fan support yesterday? The media reported that there're more Brooke Henderson fans than Nelly fans on Saturday. |

The media also reported "Promising Ko wins Founders, but Korda sisters ready for takeoff". . .
The media bias is so apparent. . .

Not even close, I was surprised at the low number of fans following Nelly. Some of them even dropped off after nine holes. Maybe when Nelly gets her portrait on the trailer and program like Brooke Henderson. She will have more fans following her. I just don't understand the LPGA fascination with Brooke Henderson. |

Round 4 There are so many events where the Koreans play well, and fate just deems that they will not be the ones to hold the trophy; someone else is just playing too well, or a few bad breaks happen, or whatever. Then there was what happened at this year's Founders Cup. I don't think there was a minute during this event where I seriously thought Jin Young Ko was going to win this one. When she birdied 15 and 16, it just seemed like Ciganda or Lu were going to also birdie those easy holes. When Lu came into 18 tied and Ciganda just one back, who knew they were both going to fail to catch Ko? Anyway, win she did. Big time congrats to her! She's totally awesome, both as a person and as a talent. I love watching her try to do the interviews in English. Sometimes she still needs translation, but she doesn't shy away. She's feisty. Her result was all the more amazing considering she was the only Sister in the top 9. Sei Young's bid came up short, Sung Hyun Park floundered, and Hyo Joo could not keep up the pace. Still, they all had good results, and it was a good week for Na Yeon and Mirim as well. Naturally, Lucky 6 shot a 66 and moved into the top 20 again. She still has only 1 result outside the top 20 in her entire LPGA career (including guest appearances from years past). It wasn't enough to hold off Thomas in the ROY race, but just... you... wait. 6 is only getting started. The 67 from In Gee was icing on the cake. I'm ready for her to contend again. Keep the faith! Again, kudos to #NotLydia Jin Young Ko on her first win in the States. Hwaiting!!!!!!  The champeen      Paying respects  press   Trophy      Kiss the Founder's elbow  Hyo Joo is baaaack  Hi MJ Hur!  |

How long until they feature Jin Young in a commercial? She's telegenic, has a great smile, and man is she talented. And now top five in the world. Paging Mr. Whan, don't sleep on Jin Young Ko!
Also, I wonder how much money the LPGA makes off the LPGA Golfwear sales? It couldn't hurt LPGA to promote that line's biggest star I would think!

Also, I wonder how much money the LPGA makes off the LPGA Golfwear sales? It couldn't hurt LPGA to promote that line's biggest star I would think! The only one that deserved that trophy was Jin Young. Like I said earlier she could have easily scored three strokes lower. If anybody was following her in person, they would totally agree. Yu Leu and Carlotta was hitting the ball everywhere. But I have seen that act before that went on to win tournaments. Like two of the Major Championships last year. |

A final thought. Last year I think most of us would agree that Jin Young's kryptonite was her putting. Even her caddy at the time said so. Stats wise she was in the hundreds rank wise. . . she is now 12th. . .Even her competitor Nelly said "“She just putts really well, I mean every week,” Nelly Korda said. “She's such a consistent putter. I think everyone will say that out here. That's a strong part of her game.” Has leaving the pin in really changed her putting that much. . . or could it be her attitude and confidence she has with the pin in. . .There was a hole on the back nine that she left the pin out. . .she missed but left the pin in on the remainder of putts she had. . .she made them all. . .keep it up JY. . . Here's her final putt in front of the Founders. . .Was Louise Suggs looking down on the 2019 ROY as she completed the task at hand. . . https://www.instagram.com/p/BvXqNTVlHYc |
