Did the GC show the third round this morning as scheduled? It's been an annoyance for me. The first two rounds were shown too late and I had to work today so all I have seen have been highlights on LPGA.com.
The start of the fourth round was delayed due to storms in the area.

Maybe Henderson is the best player in the world. This is going to be a popular victory in China.

I have been trying to remain unspoiled for this event. I managed to do it for the third round, and I'm not going to look ahead and see what's going on right now in China. Based on the way things went in round 3, it looks like the winner will be one of the top five players. That means three Koreans: Inky, MJ and Mirim; Shanshan or Henderson. Of those five, I'm most rooting for Inky to pull it off and at last get that monkey off her back. It's amazingly been nearly six years since IK last held an LPGA trophy. She's way too awesome for that to be the case. GO INKY!!! MJ seems solid this week, and her length has been helping her on this layout, and Mirim definitely loves this course. If Inky doesn't manage to grab this one, hopefully one or both of these ladies will have a great chance to get it instead. GO SISTERS!!!! HWAITING!

In an effort not to spoil the outcome for those watching on delay this afternoon (although why would you come to this thread if you want to avoid spoilers?), let me just say I am absolutely thrilled to see the top 2 finishers...two of my top favorites...if it ain't gonna be Ariya, I can happily live with this result!
But oh my, what has happened to my favorite current player not named Ariya or Michelle...NYC tied for DFL? Finishing behind dozens of players not remotely in her league? Hoping she bounces back quickly.

Brooke finished T4 with one other player, the same finish as In Gee in Japan Women's Open. Brooke will get 6-7 more Rolex points because the strength of field of a LPGA event.
However, it's not enough to overtake In Gee in Rolex ranking.

Congratulation to In Kyung Kim for a great win. She shot seven under to break out of the packed leader board.
Mi J Hur over came a two over front nine. She had five birdies, in last six holes, to finish solo second.
Oh! By the way Ariya passed Lydia on the Player of The Year standing by four points. Lydia had been penciled in about a month and a half ago.

I hated using the reverse karma technique on Brooke Henderson. She is a great golfer and person. However, I felt I.K. Kim deserved the win.

INKY FOR THE WIN! This is one of my favorite results of the year without question. Nothing is going to top Inbee winning the gold in Rio, not even In Gee romping to that incredible record in Evian, which is itself one of my very favorite wins. This event isn't going to top those moments, but with IK winning, it's a strong third place! To finally see In Kyung get a win after all this time, her first LPGA win since the Nabisco Fiasco... Man, talk about someone who has gone through the ringer! So, so deserved. And man, did she play well to get it! I admit these kind of courses drive me crazy. It's so ridiculous when the big hitters can give themselves, what, four or five legit eagle chances in a single round? Of course the winning score ends up being 24 under. But give IK credit: she did some stuff I didn't think she could do. She should have been outgunned, yet several times she reached par 5 greens that I thought were out of her reach; and she even eagled one of them, the crucial 16th. Up until then I still wasn't sure who would win. MJ Hur was moving up fast, Mirim had the ability to eagle 16 and 18 with her length. But when Inky nailed that eagle, I knew it was game over. http://instagr.am/p/BLEWw_TDVCs
I love MJ, too, so it was nice, after her struggles early, to see her go on that tear over the final few holes. She had her chances to win and was just a hair worse than IK, but her second place should give her a big boost in confidence going forward. And though Mirim was sloppy at times, at other times she showed flashes of the brilliance that made her so promising in 2014. Sure hope after all her close calls this year we see Mirim get into the winner's circle before 2016 ends!
Credit to Amy Yang, who somehow got a top ten without showing up on the coverage at all, and Il Hee Lee, while Sei Young Kim just missed out at 11th place.
Awesome job by the Sisters in China!!! Hwaiting!!!

I am glad you didn't use it on Michigan against your Badgers. I grew up in Muskegon, Michigan across the Lake from Milwaukee. I have been a Wolverine fan all my life.

Nothing I could say, would have helped the Badgers against a Michigan team with vastly superior talent. I was shocked the score was so close. Harbaugh and Chryst will both be NFL head coaches within three to five years.

I also take my hat to In Kyung for winning on that course setup. How the LPGA is setting up courses lately, the shorter drivers of the ball will be left out. Players like Mo Martin, Ai Miyazato, Sakura Yokomine,and other short hitters are at a big disadvantage. They would have to score their best to just get a top ten.

A pleasant result indeed. Welcome back to the winner's circle, Inky!
