LPGA is lucky to have Brooke Henderson; a top 5 player who's there every week. Her only PGA counterpart is Patrick Reed, but he doesn't play nearly as much as Brooke. Top 5 would have been my last choice to compare with Brooke...IMO.

I say rest up and keep playing opossum as Lydia slowly hands over the Vare trophy. None of my favorites has ever been so lucky, can In Gee be an exception?

I'd be more confident that In Gee beats Lydia by 3-4 shots in a tournament to win the Vare Trophy, if she is fit to do so.
It doesn't feel right when it's all up to Lydia, if In Gee is done for the year.

Round 3 Not a very enjoyable round to watch for me, as all my faves struggled and a bunch of long hitters vaulted into contention. Hopefully Minjee will shake it off and reassert herself. And really hope we get some wind tomorrow to make it a little more challenging for the heavy hitters. Hwaiting! You can stop your whining and crying....the only FAKE Korean you fanboy won.....lol. I can't believe your above jinx didn't make Minjee gag it today....the gag came from Ariya hitting her ball into the water on 18.....I guess it's BKB's turn to start crying.

Isn't that Ariya's caddie earlier this year, Les Luark on Minjee's bag ? The guy who basically turned her career around.
I am pretty sure it was something stupid Ariya said to him after USWO that made him quit. Beth Ann called her 20 going on 16.
I wonder what was his thoughts when she snap hooked it into the lake on 18, Or maybe just his presence reminds her of her same shot on the 18 at ANA.

This one will be hard to predict 1) Minjee gagged in rd 3 and lost her 6 stroke lead....and her final rd scoring isn't the greatest except at the Lotte. 2) Korda is streaky...with her power ....doesn't take advantage of the par 5's like she should be...same with Lexi....I think it will hard to back up another low rd. 3) IMO...Ariya doesn't have a killer instinct to bust down Minjee and Korda. My only prediction is a 2 women playoff. 50/50 None went out and handed it to their opponents to separate themselves. Didn't get it right with the playoff. I completely forgot....Korda was handicapped not being a member of Club 56.

Yes...I totally agree. At the 2015 CP CWO....I saw Ariya doing this STUPID silent thing with her caddie at the range...it was really weird...only a 5 yr old kid would do that stuff...I've always thought Ariya is a bit of a mental midget...that's why I'm surprised how well she has played this year. And let's not forget about the horseplay that knocked out Ariya for months in 2013. A guy I know watched Moriya and Ariya just goofing around like a couple of kids during a practice rd at the 2014 CN CWO. 3) They are only on the 10th hole on the GC delayed coverage...I found out Ariya hit it in the water on 18 by reading the LPGA Twitter feed. I didn't know she did another ANA snip hook off the tee on 18. I still am baffled with all the customization available to a pro...how Ariya can't hit a 460cc club. If she's having trouble with control.....hard step a shaft and cut it down to 43" or shorter and amp up the loft to 12*....she'd smoke a driver with those specs vs. her driver....same with Carlota......but then on the flip side...Stenson does ok only hitting his 3W. I got a Stage2 3HL that is pretty hot if I nut it and my friend has a Cally XR 4W with a butt trimmed PX 6.5 driver shaft that I've been able to smoke if I nut it....I'm kinda surprised the PX 6.5 doesn't feel overly stout. The Cally Cup Face technology is very hot....I've got a X2 Hot 3H for only $50 from CL that is quite explosive if hit well. My friend has custom ordered a Cally XR 16 with a Aldila Silver Rogue that should be coming this week...I'd like to see how it compares to my $80 used JetSpeed....lol....but I'm going to bring some masking tape.....just in case I put a dummy mark on the the crown....lol.

Vare Trophy watch With In Gee out of Sime Darby: - Lydia needs to shoot -7 or better to retain lead
- Ariya needs to shoot -36 or better to overtake In Gee

Ariya played 5 LPGA tournaments as a 17 years old non-member in 2013; she finished top 4 or better in all 5 tournaments with a scoring average of 68.55.
Even though she won 5 times this year; her scoring average of 69.887 is more than one stroke higher than 3 years ago.
Ariya has the talent to be the best LPGA player ever, and she is on path to do that after winning one major and 5 tournaments before her 21 birthday. Her biggest challenge is to stay fit for the next 10 years.

Congratulation to Mingee on her tough win. I guess winning the tournament were more important to her, than giving a great interview. Although when Ariya tied her on seventeen, I thought that it would be tough for her to win. Ariya being Ariya made a sloppy bogey on eighteen and Minjee clutched up and made birdie.
Still a great tournament for Ariya and Jessica even though they fell short of winning.
Another thing. Michelle Wei need to find a good Golf Professional and change her hold game. Her swing and also her putting. Not only is she not playing good golf she look really bad doing it. She is young and talented enough for wholesale changes. Don't think she can get any worse, so why not try it.

Minjee and So Yeon should have a contest of who can bounce a quarter the highest off a made bed.
