I will be curious to see how Ariya's career develops. She has this devil-may-care attitude that could be heading into Brittany Lincicome territory. Lincicome is a fair comparison; although Ariya is much better on and around the green. My long term Ariya concern is her overall fitness; wonder whether bangkokbobby cares to comment.

The fact Mexico winner next week gets an official LPGA win and one point for Hall of Fame qualification is a travesty. The original plan was: The Lorena Ochoa Invitational is a 72-hole limited-field tournament, limited to 36 golfers. The top five in the Rolex Women's World Rankings are invited, in addition to the top 26 players on the LPGA money list not already in the field via the rankings. Another five players are invited through sponsor exemptions. The field next week; www.lpga.com/tournaments/lorena-ochoa-invitational-presented-by-banamex/final-field.

The biggest winners of the six tournaments Asis Swing are Shanshan and Ha Na.
Shanshan may replace Sei Young as No, 5 on Rolex Ranking on Monday morning, we'll see.
The fight for future top 3 will be fierce; with Lydia, Ariya, In Gee, Lexi, Shanshan, Brooke, Sei Young, Inbee, Ha Na, Sung Hyun, So Yeon and Minjee gunning for each other.
God bless Lexi and Brooke to make LPGA a non-Asian tour.

Shanshan's results going back to Rio: 3, 4, T4, 2, T3, 1, 1 RUN FOR YOUR LIVES So much for the under twenty, so call big three winning the majority of second half tournaments.

Ko entered the Asian swing leading the Rolex Player of the Year race, the money-winning list, the Race to the CME Globe standings and the competition for the Vare Trophy for low scoring average. Jutanugarn now leads Ko in all those categories except the Vare Trophy competition, where Ko (69.61) leads In Gee Chun (69.63) by a slim margin. Jutanugarn is fifth with a 69.932 scoring average. www.golfchannel.com/news/golf-central-blog/feng-jackpot-mix-ko-loses-ground-ariya/

Surprised that In Kyung Kim is playing, after giving half of her tournament win, to Lorena's Charity. The other half to other charities. But did not get invited to the tournament the next year,

A little disappointed at how this one turned out. Not because of Ariya, she has 5 wins and a Major this year after all, but because of how beautiful it would have been to see Kangsy win it. In her prime on the LPGA, she was so much better than "only" winning Safeway. After her JLPGA win at Suntory earlier this year, an LPGA win would have been so sweet.
Alas, not to be. No disrespect to Shanshan...she's funny and I like her...just bummed it wasn't Kangsy winning.

I will be curious to see how Ariya's career develops. She has this devil-may-care attitude that could be heading into Brittany Lincicome territory. Lincicome is a fair comparison; although Ariya is much better on and around the green. My long term Ariya concern is her overall fitness; wonder whether bangkokbobby cares to comment. I have no concerns. Ariya continues to play well. I just think she has her moments and moves on...she has a child-like spirit (I mean that in a good way). At the end of the day, I think she loves golf and always wants to play. With Brittany, whom I like a lot, sometimes it seems like she would rather be off fishing than on the course.

Are you guys insane? Lincicome has won six times in her career Ariya has won five times this year! There's no comparison. Plus Ariya had to come back from a nasty injury. Ironic that you bring up your concern about her fitness when the fattest player on tour is also the hottest. I mean playing wise.

Jason must be happy now...no more lining up shots or putts or standing around holding up a wet towel like a dork.You heard it here 1st....The Hulk will out perform Dumbo from this point forward. Putt you kill me,so true about Jason having been set free. Now a better question or at least one I'm more interested in, will the Hulk out-perform the Kiwi Princess?

On American irrelevance in women's golf: The American challenge continues in women’s golf. For the first time since the Race to the CME Globe was created, no American will be eligible to win the $1 million jackpot when the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship begins in Naples, Fla, in two weeks. You have to be among the top nine in the CME Globe standings to have a chance at the jackpot, and there isn’t an American among the top nine. Yes, there is one more event (the Lorena Ochoa Invitational) to qualify for the top nine, but no American headed to Ochoa’s event this week can crack the top nine, even with a victory in Mexico. This comes in a strange year for the Americans, who claimed the UL International Crown as the “best golfing nation” in women’s golf and saw one of their own (Brittany Lang) win the U.S. Women’s Open. But it’s also a year in which only two Americans (Lang and Lexi Thompson) have won LPGA events. In the 66 year-history of the LPGA, Americans have never failed to win fewer than four LPGA events in a season. It’s also a year that saw Americans steadily tumble down the Rolex world rankings, with Thompson the only American left now among the top 10. - Randall Mell www.golfchannel.com/news/golf-central-blog/after-further-review-us-women-afterthought

Americans who are younger than 25 years old and inside top 50 Rolex Ranking:
4. Lexi 27. Jessica 32. Alison
It's a slim picking.
