The first four rounds start Wed. at Pinehurst #6. The second four rounds start Wed. Oct. 30 at Pinehurst # 9 (they used #7 last year) ... a cut will occur after round #6. In a field of 98, the top-45 plus ties qualify ... as we quoted Oprah last year, EVERYBODY GETS A CARD!!!
Savannah Vilaubi has the minimum qualifications for the 2020 Galloway pro-am, but I hope she plays a lot better than that.

Savannah stunk it up (75) ... I should have known. 
Holding my breath in vain for someone to do a write-up on The Rocket.

Rare radio silence from Kelly Tan on IG, even while she's pushing 50K followers again.
No distractions. She has her head down and her eye on the prize.

I just looked up Larry the Looper's blog, which I hadn't perused in a while. He's not working the Q-Series, but he was with Hyemin Kim during Stage Two ... she bombed out and announced her retirement (turned 31 this year). She never made it to the LPGA, but picked up a couple of Symetra wins. I saw her with Larry at Valley Forge in 2018 ... she just didn't have enough horses under the hood.

Bogey free -2 round for Kelly today. No heroics necessary, a steady -1 or so every day will do it.

Things aren't looking good for Youngin Chun @ plus 6, tied for sixty fourth place.
She needs to shoot at least six under total the next two rounds.

No wild scoring on the upside or downside. Averaging -1 per round. No round over par. Top 10 on the leaderboard. Experience. Kelly's done this rodeo before. She knows how to play it to get the job done. https://www.instagram.com/p/B4GicOrnFEf |

Yui Kawamoto and Suzuka Yamaguchi are tied at T-20, -2. How does Yui expect to pick up extra world ranking points on the LPGA when she can't even outplay a washout like Suzuka?

While walking to the 18th tee box at the Seaview in June, Lindsey Weaver was asking basic get-to-know-you questions of Muni He ... I guess LW was the only person in golf hadn't heard of her before ... well, she REALLY knows her now.

phil: as much as i respect your knowledge of golf, i really do not like the "washout" label you've given to suzuka yamaguchi... she has had a rough first year but she started the usa lpga at the age 18 straight out of highschool... please read the comments section of this most recent instagram... i hope she gets thru Qseries and another year on the tour, also hope she will play some tournaments on the Jlpga next year. 山口すず夏 (@suzuka.yamaguchi) • Instagram photos and videos |

Technically, you're right ... Suzuka can't wash out if she has deep pockets keeping her afloat. It's not cheap to the play the LPGA tour and she got into 19 events, plus a USWO qualifier, plus a few Monday qualifiers, plus a return to the 2019 Q-Series. She played a lot for someone who was T-36 in the 2018 Q-Series ... numerous players who finished ahead of her (ex: Spilkova, Huffer, Uriell, McPherson, Carter, Beck) played fewer events in 2019. I wonder if she's still bagging a 3 and 4 iron ... not the friendliest sticks out of the rough, which is where she was when you're next-to-last in driving accuracy and DFL in GIR.
They organized the tee times by score, so she'll be grouped today with Dr. Noh and Mina Harigae.

Are these courses much easier than last year? Lucky 6 finished at -18 last year and Muni is only two shots back of that with three rounds to go ... but this is impressive, she is winning in a rout.
FYI, the cut after Round Six will top-80 plus ties.
