I'm sweating out Mi Hyang's last few holes in Round Two...now +2 with one hole remaining (par-5 9th)...only a catastrophe would drop her below the cut line.
Charley has the flying shades again.

When So Yeon chipped in for birdie on hole twelve.
With a long par four, made into a par five and another par five coming up.
I was expecting her to make at least two more birdies coming in.
Instead she made one bogey and no birdies.
I am not optimistic about So Yeon winning, just hoping that she does.
She has played well enough the first two days.
She just need to stop making those late bogeys and finishing stronger.
That's all from me today, except lots of luck to So Yeon.
edit: Yes I know there are two more rounds.
Just getting prepared for the good or bad.
In case anyone didn't know it, I really, really like that lady.
Because how could you not like her.

I was hoping that So Yeon would be paired with Sei Young Kim.
But Ryan O'Toole birded the last two holes and will be paired with So Yeon.
So the Solheim cup will come up all during the round.

...and the ECP will paired with Brittany on the first flight out of here...crack open a bottle of Moosehead Lager, you're entitled.

Poor Muni...she is striking out like Willie Wilson in the 1980 World Series. It's gotten so bad that Getty Images took no pictures of her this week.  It doesn't get better at her USWO qualifier next week against the likes of Madsen, Pressel, Li, Gimmee, Granada and Harigae...the only silver lining is if she bombs out, it makes her available for the Symetra Tour in Valley Forge May 31 thru June 2...I might attend Round One. It'll get worse after Pure Silk at Kingsmill, assuming she whiffs again. They'll have a Priority List re-shuffle after that and official money earners like Karen Chung, Pajaree A., S. Yamaguchi, C. Hedwall and others will be pushed ahead of her if I correctly understand the description of Category 13...and her current ranking at #156 isn't that great anyway. There's a second reshuffle after the Dow Great Lakes (July 17-20). She's currently 0 for 5...Esther Choe went 0 for 12 in 2013...I don't know what the futility record is on this tour. |

Round 2 This might have been the best overall round for the Koreans all year. Wow, what an amazing day for the Sisters! In the morning, we had In Gee seem to stumble, then recover to post an under par round and a 4 under total. She's on the leaderboard and, if she can play well, can still pull off a win. Jeong Eun Lee 6 also shot a tidy 69 to move just outside of the top 20. In the afternoon, So Yeon played brilliantly. No problems with hitting fairways today! Even her bogey came because she hit her approach too well and it leaked off the back of the green. Inbee had a great eagle to move to within two of her friend, but by and large her putting was really awful. She had about five or six putts that just missed going in, and several misses were from lackluster technique, something you rarely say. Still, if she putts even halfway well this weekend, watch out. So Yeon: 'once you believe it, you can do it': Gotta mention two unlikely successes: Na Yeon Choi on a leaderboard for the first time in years after a 67, and He Yong Choi shot a 65 (!) on her sponsor's invite. Odds were not good she would be the low KLPGAer. But Ayean Cho just missed the cut, and Da Yeon Lee just made it thanks to a final hole eagle. Considering their former rivalry, I wonder what might happen if Choi and Ryu wind up in a group together Sunday? Sisters Hwaiting!  PS - I think the director really likes So Yeon; I've never seen so many extreme close ups of her in one broadcast. Of course, the camera is in love with her, too, so I doubt anyone is complaining. So Yeon    Inbee  Na Yeon Choi; the cameraman took a break, so she showed them by shooting a 67  Lucky Six  Inky; don't count her out, either  Da Yeon Lee somehow made it to the weekend...  ... Ayean Cho did not  Nor did Jae Eun Lee  He Yong Choi, meanwhile, had one of the great rounds of her career and is right in this thing!  |

Interesting article about Na Yeon Choi, showing she wasn't just idle while recovering from injuries last year! She has just 8 events left before they reshuffle her priority, so a good finish here would be really important. Na Yeon Choi Earns Advanced degree |

I looked up Monday qualifier Pajaree Anannarukarn on the leaderboard and she's NOT on it. What happened? I can't find any news items about her dropping out. Her USWO qualifier is next Tuesday, so that shouldn't be the issue. She was definitely in town this week:

Interesting read on why the Koreans dominate women's golf. The author gets it mostly right, although I think culture does play a role. Debunking the Robot Myth |

I really didn't think So Yeon round was brilliant.
While other players were padding their score on the back nine par fives.
She only made par on them.
I guess I expect too much of her, because she is so talented.
I was thinking the same thing about a He Yong Choi and So Yeon pairing.
Because of the Rookie of The Year challenge between them on the KLPGA Tour.

Debunking the Robot MythThey also teach the golf swing better to better athletes. I'd like to see a chart of hours practiced vs scoring average just for LPGA pros. I'm sure there is some correlation but golf at the elite level is a funny. You either have it or you don't and that's based on who you are and how you swing, in large measure. |

Rough day at the office for So Yeon.
Did not see this round coming from her.
Hope that she can regroup and finish with a top ten.
